Yesterday I spent a wonderful day on the wine trail with my friends. Part of the UnCork York wine trail in Adams county. Adams County is one of the ten counties in Pa Dutch country. We started off the day  at Reid's Orchard. They had a nice strawberry wine and great applesauce.  Then we headed over to Hauser winery.

Hauser winery is situated on top of a hill which over looks acres of  woods, orchards, and farmland.  They have a really neat tasting room which is glass enclosed all the way around so you get to enjoy a breathtaking view. Hauser winery had a few wines that were unfinished that you could taste.  And then you were able to sample the finished product.  I am really excited about the sparking peach wine to come in June. They had a variety of dry wines to choose from.  One of my favorites there was the Merlot. Our next and final stop was Adams County Winery.

Adams County winery is located just west of Gettysburg. The winery is inside an old Pennsylvania Barn. Two of the wines they are known for are Tears of Gettysburg and Rebel Red.  We took a tour of the winery and then we went into the tasting room and gift shop.  While there we met two other couples .  We all decided to go out for dinner.  We went over to Little Italy in Biglersville.  We were able to take our own bottle of wine in to have with our meal. It was a great time!
