Over the River and through the Woods...

...to Seven Mountains Wine Cellars we go.

Who knew there were so many wineries around? Well, there are quite a few locally that are on the Susquehanna Heartland Wine Trail. To find out more click here.

Over the river and through the woods, though? Yep...

After a quick turn off US-322 E and a short, bumpy ride down a back road, you will find yourself at this hidden treasure. Upon entering the wooden cabin-like building, you are quickly greeted by the extremely friendly staff. An amiable staff member will explain all about Seven Mountains wines and history if you are willing to listen. They willingly let you taste the wines too (even giving you some chocolate with the appropriate wine pairing). I was even told about some ways to use the wine that I had never thought about prior to my visit like blueberry wine added to pancake batter to make blueberry pancakes? The staff had a few more neat ideas up their sleeves as well.

Seven Mountains Wine Cellars is a fairly new establishment, but you would never know it. The experienced staff will make you feel right at home...seriously. They often host events such as wine and chocolate pairings, where for a small fee you get a glass of their featured wine and a chocolate fountain/fruit buffet. I hear they have upcoming musicians and even campfire nights in the spring.

Inside their is a large deer antler chandelier, tables, couches, and a fireplace. The rustic ambiance gives Seven Mountains visitors a country feeling almost as if vacationing from everyday life. They also provide numerous gift ideas such as wine toppers, antler bottle racks, wine cases, and much more. They have merchandise from local eateries as well.

I had never been to a winery like this before (although I guess I haven't been to many at all), but Seven Mountains is more than just a business. It is an enjoyable experience.

Award Winners!
P.S. My favorite wines were the fruit wines, Strawberry especially. Yum - tastes like liquid strawberries!

Rating: 5/5 (So... have I convinced you to check it out yet?)
