Pennsylvania
From the metropolis of Philadelphia and historical areas to the rural areas of the state, vineyards abound and Pennsylvania offers many wineries to visit. If you cannot visit a winery, the next best way to buy Pennsylvania produced wine is at farmers’ markets. A law passed Summer 2007 allows wineries to sell their crafted wines at farmers’ markets.
Pennsylvania is alive and well in the production of wine. With 14,000 acres of grapes, Pennsylvania ranks 8th in the production of wine.
