Penn Shore Winery and Vineyards — Attraction in North East Township

We love the Penn Shore wines so it was a first stop on our mini wine tour, specifically for the holiday spice wine. The building is undergoing renovations and signs led us to the back parking lot where the tasting area was outside but undercover. There was ample room and it was perfect as we brought our toddler along. Another group also had their toddlers with them. A dozen or so picnic tables under the pavilion and a few more under umbrellas surrounded by a rose garden was a cute setting. There were wine barrels set up as tables a little further away outside in the sun. It was close to the vineyards which made a great photo op. The young girl working behind the bar greeted us and we placed our wine order. I did not check if there were any food options as we weren’t interested in that at the time. My sampler wine flight came in small medicine cups. Likely because it was outside and renovations are underway. I don’t mind what the wine comes in but if you’re looking for a cute photo, this wouldn’t be it. I can’t wait to see what the new venue looks like when we come back in the next few years (or...

Wine is personal so make your own...

I visited Penn Shore recently and discovered its Pa’s oldest winery! Every wine I tasted in my tasting flight was amazing my favorite was the Cab. Franc. They have a great selection from dry to sweet there’s something for everyone. Leah was so friendly and offered me a tour of the winery, she knew a lot about Penn Shore’s history. The tour took me back in the production space and ended on the back patio over looking gorgeous vineyards. She told me they have large concerts in the summer I can’t wait to come back and attend one or even just have a picnic out back. This is place is the best I highly recommend...
