Though breweries are great for testing out local beers, it’s possible that beer just isn’t your thing. If you enjoy an occasional glass of wine with dinner or on the holidays, you might want to consider visiting local wineries to test out the local selections. What better way to relax with friends and family than sipping away the afternoon at a local winery? Check out four of our favorite Carlisle wineries.
Castlerigg Wine Shop
If you find yourself in downtown Carlisle, Castlerigg Wine Shop is the go-to winery! While there, you can test out some of central Pennsylvania’s highest quality wines, whether you appreciate red, white, fruit, or ice wines.
While you’re sipping your favorite type of wine, you can pair your beverage with the plenty of sweet and savory food options offered at Castlerigg, many of which are actually gluten-free. If you enjoy large social gatherings, you might also enjoy the live music and comedy events frequently hosted at the wine shop.
The Long Shot Farm
While you’re tasting Pennsylvania’s greatest wine samples, you can sit on the tasting room’s deck that offers an incredible view of the vineyard and the large pond on the property. You can also schedule your visit around the many trivia, music, and murder mystery events hosted by the farm throughout the year. Suffice to say, there is more than just wine to keep you occupied on a day or night out at The Long Shot Farm.
Buddy Boy Winery and Vineyard
Buddy Boy Winery and Vineyard actually has eight different locations within the Pennsylvania area. The original location was an old apple orchard that was converted to a grape vineyard, which now produces several types of unique wines.
At the vineyards, you and your friends can lounge on the deck and enjoy your wine with dinner and a band once a week. If you enjoy other types of drinks as well, you’ll love the availability of 10 beers on tap and a full bar.
Hat Creek Wine Shop
At Hat Creek Wine Shop, you can sample some of central Pennsylvania’s finest wines. Whether your favorite wine is red, white, sweet, or dry, Hat Creek Wine Shop has at least one variety that’ll satisfy your cravings.
In addition to selling wines and offering tastings, Hat Creek Wine Shop also hosts several musical events throughout the year. Sit back and listen to the music as you taste one or more of the 16 wines Hat Creek has to offer.
If you consider yourself to be a bit of a wine expert, then you probably have relatively high standards. The best way to guarantee high-quality wine is to visit your local wineries and try them out yourself.
