All 11 wineries on the Niagara Wine Trail will host a “Share the Bounty” event this weekend, in which participants are encouraged to donate a nonperishable food item or $2.50 per wine tasting, all to benefit local food pantries.

The event runs from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. today and noon to 6 p. m. Sunday along the trail, which runs through parts of Niagara and Orleans counties.

“As harvest ends and we begin to prepare for the holidays ahead, it’s good to remember those who may not be as fortunate as others,” said Jackie Connolly, co-owner of Niagara Landing Wine Cellars in Cambria.

Last year’s event helped to raise more than 2,200 food items and more than $1,000 for the Lockport Salvation Army Food Bank, Newfane Community Food Pantry and others.
