October is the month for all things Halloween, but did you know it's also Pennsylvania Wine Month?

In addition, the Pennsylvania Winery Association, SEPTA and Lyft have teamed up to offer rides to 27 wineries located in Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties.
Go to one of the dozens of participating Regional Rail stations. Once at the station, use code "VISITtheVINES" on the Lyft app. With the code, you'll save up to 30% off your ride to the winery of your choice. SEPTA has provided information on the participating wineries and Regional Rail stations on its website.
