On Sunday, the weather was beautiful – sunny but not too hot. We took a trip to York, Pennsylvania to experience the 2^nd Annual Taste of Pennsylvania Wine and Music Festival. This was a delightful wine festival with 13 Pennsylvania wineries participating and numerous vendors. We had the opportunity to discover new wineries that we have not visited. Many of the wineries, in addition to producing traditional wines, also produced “fruit” wines. Some winemakers emphasized that they use only  strawberry, raspberry or blueberry fruit to produce their fruit wines.

I liked the way the festival was organized. Rather than a separate area for the wineries and another for the vendors, the tents were intermixed. It was enjoyable to wander between the various tents to browse products and taste wines. Another area was set aside for a music stage and visitors gathered on the grass to enjoy the music.

Visiting a summer wine festival is a fun activity and it’s delightful to mingle with others, talk to winemakers, taste wines and see the creativity of artisans. Watch for more wine festivals throughout the summer!
