A weekend is what you make of it. And one thing is for sure—the chores, errands and channel surfing can wait until next winter. Weekends are for PA Wine Land, after all.
Pennsylvania has more than 150 wineries connected along 12 wine trails. With unique and delicious vintages made from locally grown grapes, PA wine trails often have their own distinct identity when it comes to the wines they produce and experiences they offer.
“No matter where you live in Pennsylvania, you’re less than an hour from at least one winery—and in many cases, more than one,” said Jennifer Eckinger, the Pennsylvania Winery Association’s Executive Director. ” Most residents, even neighbors, have yet to explore the vineyard just down the road. It’s a whole other world waiting to be discovered! And I promise you, there is something for every taste.”
