At Adams County Winery, grapes mature in rich Pennsylvania soil before being used in recipes for bacchanalian beverages that have earned a place on Central PA Magazine’s 2010 Hot List. Married vintners John and Katherine welcome visitors to explore their more-than-30-year-old cellars during a private tour. Guests are escorted through the winery, which is housed in a 19th century Pennsylvania bank barn and can peek in on where the white, red, and fruit wines come to life. Starring among the rubicund inebriants is the Rebel Red, a semisweet wine with a dry finish, and the team of whites claims the Tears of Gettysburg, a Niagara blend as storied and sweet as a skyscraper made of cake. Nosh on regional munchables in the form of local summer sausage, cheese, and crackers. Visitors head home with two wine glasses and a waiter-style corkscrew inscribed with the Adams County Winery logo as well as a golden keepsake ornament.
