Wine connoisseurs and foodies will be made proud this holiday
season, as WindsorEats relaunches their 30 Days of Local Wine campaign.
Every day throughout the month of December,
WindsorEats will be featuring one bottle of local wine a day from different
wineries around Windsor and Essex County. Shopping local is true WindsorEats
style, and readers are encouraged to give the gift of a local wine this holiday
season!
Excitement is mounting as this WindsorEats favourite
is brought back to life for the holidays. The campaign will provide widespread
exposure, as well as increased traffic to participating wineries, with over 25,000 unique visitors checking out the WindsorEats website
each month looking for information on food and drinks in Windsor-Essex.
“The wine industry contributes so much to our
community and we love the opportunity to work together to promote with local
wineries through campaigns like 30 Days of Local Wine,” said WindsorEats owner
Pina Ciotoli.
Not only is this promotion aimed at showcasing the
amazing food and wine tourism products we have in Windsor-Essex, but also to
provide an economic benefit to the region. Statistics show that every bottle of
local wine generates $12.29 in added value for the Ontario economy.
The local wineries that you can look forward to seeing
throughout the campaign include: Colchester Ridge Estate Winery, Cooper's
Hawk Vineyard, North 42 Degrees Estate Winery, Oxley Estate Winery, Pelee
Island Estate Winery and Sprucewood Shores Estate Winery, Aleksander Estate
Winery and Erie Shores Vineyard.
Wine lovers will rejoice at the simplicity of choosing
a wine for the holidays since descriptions of each wine, along with the
delicious flavors and notes will be made available. Where to buy the wine, as
well as the best holiday treats to pair it with will also be included.
WindsorEats has also partnered with local chefs to
incorporate the featured wine into delectable entree and appetizer creations.
Recipes will be provided so that you can make these holiday delicacies in the
comfort of your own kitchen.
The campaign not only tantalizes your tastebuds, but
it's fun too.
Part of the campaign includes an Instagram photo
contest “How Do You Enjoy Your Local Wine?”
Interested participants are asked to upload a photo of
themselves enjoying their favourite local wine on their social media pages,
with the hashtag #30DLW for a chance to win some amazing prizes.
