Lancaster County Wine

Lancaster County is best known for its Amish community and agricultural heritage, but a growing wine scene has established itself among the county's limestone-rich farmland. Over 40 wineries now operate in the county, producing wines from cold-hardy hybrids and French-American varieties suited to the region's humid continental climate. Vidal Blanc, Cayuga White, Chambourcin, and Niagara are the most widely planted, producing approachable wines that pair well with the county's rich food traditions. Waltz Vineyards, Nissley Vineyards, and Twin Brook Winery are among the most established producers. The combination of Amish buggy rides, farmer's markets, and countryside tasting rooms makes Lancaster County one of Pennsylvania's most charming wine tourism destinations.
