Pennsylvania Wineries & Winery Tours
The state of Pennsylvania enjoys a moderate climate which is perfect for grape growing and wine production. The east coast state is perfectly situated to accommodate the special needs of vineyards, which make it a perfect destination to include on a wine tour of the country.
Pennsylvania opened its first commercially successful winery in 1793. The Pennsylvania Vine Company is the first, but there are now more than one hundred wineries in the state. Because of the temperate climate in the state, vineyards have the ability to grow a great variety of grapes for wine production. Some of the varieties produced in Pennsylvania include Catawba, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Chambourcin, Cayuga, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Reisling, Vidal Blanc, and Seyval Blanc among others.
There are wine trails to explore that are the perfect way to explore Pennsylvania wine country. Exploring Pennsylvania wineries along the wine trails gives visitors an opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of the state while traveling from winery to winery. The wineries each have their own hours and schedule for wine tasting, but you may be able to sample some of the produce of the region as well at some of the wineries. Some offer grape juice for visitors to bring home and make their own wine. You can sample foods along with the wines of Pennsylvania in some of the wineries.
The stunning natural environment of the Pennsylvania vineyards gives visitors a chance to spend some quiet time with the family or a loved one while enjoying the spectacular scenery. Look for bed and breakfasts and inns located in the vicinity of the several wine trails in the state for a lovely place to stay while on holiday.
An exploration of the wine country of the United States would not be complete without a visit to the wineries of Pennsylvania. While California is best known for wine production, Pennsylvania and other states offer wine lovers an interesting alternative.
