Chaddsford announces Labor Day festival

And one more bit of new on an upcoming event:

Jazz lovers and wine lovers alike will be delighted by the Labor Day Weekend Jazz Festival at Chaddsford Winery (632 Baltimore Pike, 610.388.6221). On Aug. 30, 31 and Sept. 1, from noon until 6 p.m., the winery will host live jazz acts and offer tastings of their award-winning wines throughout the grounds.

“Labor Day weekend is the end of the official ‘summer season,’ and we like to celebrate with great music and great wine,” says proprietor Lee Miller. “It’s a fun way to cap off summer in a beautiful country setting – no extensive travel, no high gas prices, just a relaxing day of wine, music, food and friends.”
