New Hope Winery: Great Grapes
April 3, 2012 by admin
Filed under Things to Do
Even Pennsylvanians can forget that a good grape grows right in their own backyard. A day spent at New Hope Winery serves as a just reminder that you don’t have to fly to the west coast for a decent cabernet. New Hope Winery’s tasting room and gift shop sits in a renovated 18th Century barn (this is Bucks County, after all). The Winery caters to anyone, ranging from those who haven’t ventured very far from Coors Light to the full-blown wine snob. The Winery's wide appeal is reflected in its prices: a tasting never reaches the double digits and bottles range from affordable to expensive. Since special occasions call for special wines, keep an eye out for things like strawberry wine on Valentine’s Day and the occasional sangria. Check New Hope Winery’s website for a yearlong offering of musical events. If you have an engagement of your own to book, the New Hope Winery’s also an ideal spot for small- to mid-sized parties.
