Pennsylvania is home to 14 wine trails and more than 200 wineries.  Beautiful summertime views, rustic and historic tasting rooms all make the scenic Pennsylvania landscape the premier destination for wine-lovers, vineyard regulars, or those simply seeking an exciting and romantic daytime trip. Before you know it, you’ll be standing on the slopes overlooking the fields of Gettysburg, atop a ridge in the wild Poconos, or nestled deep in the tranquility of the western greenwoods with a glass of locally-crafted wine in your hand, of course.
