Ahhhhh, fall – my favorite time of the year – and it’s almost upon us!  The shortening days of September, the beauty and color of October, and the crisp mornings of November are just some of the reasons I moved back to the four-state area from Florida over ten years ago.

It’s also a time for numerous beer and wine festivals, and the four-state area has plenty of opportunities to taste local offerings during the fall season.  Listed below is just a sampling of upcoming activities to spice up your autumn weekends.  Get your tickets, pick a designated driver, and start tasting!
