Celebrate Sculpture on the Brandywine Artisan Wine Trail

Art and wine? Get the best of both worlds beginning on Sept. 20.


Seven wineries and their satellites are celebrating the Art of Sculpture all month on The Brandywine Artisan Wine Trail. On Sunday, Sept. 19-20, Borderland Vineyard in Landenberg and Wilson Vineyard in Nottingham will both host art festivals. Just down the road, Kreutz Creek Vineyards in West Grove will be open for wine tastings and live music from the Sin Brothers while showing sculptures by artist Karen Delaney. Paradocx Vineyards in Landenberg will exhibit steel artworks by artist Greg Leavitt. 

A map on the Brandywine Artisan Wine Trail website shows visitors how to travel from one winery to the next. “It is such a natural pairing,” says Galer Estate co-owner Lele Galer. “We are so fortunate to live in an area that is so naturally beautiful, full of so many talented local people making wine, art, music and artisanal products like cheese and chocolate. The Borderland Vineyard Art Festival will feature a dozen artists in different media, including sculptors Dave Beck and Laurie Murray.
