An innkeeper wears many hats. One such hat is that of "concierge". Many guests who stay with us at the Red Cardinal Bed & Breakfast come for a particular reason: the Carlisle car show, Dickinson College graduation, a wedding or visiting family. Yet their is time in the schedule when the guests want to go off exploring.
Billy and I like to recommend places that we have visited. So today we went off to find Hunters Valley Winery. The winery is located about 25 miles plus or minus from our B&B. It is up Route 34, which is a direct, scenic ride from our location. When we arrived at the winery, we were pleasantly surprised. It sits out on a hill overlooking the Susquehanna River and Valley below.
Although it was rainy and overcast today, the view was lovely. On a clear day, it must be gorgeous.
We spoke with Shirley Hartz and was surprised to learn that the winery has been in operation for 25 years! Shirley has been working there for 24! We sampled a few wines as we chatted and left with 2 red wines - "Mountain Red" and "Concord".
Pheasant Field B&B has a wine and roses package that includes a trip to Hunters Valley Winery.
If you are in town this weekend 10/22 & 10/23, there is an open house and craft fair.
I would recommend the winery as a destination spot. http://www.huntersvalleywines.com/
As a bonus, you can also take a ferry across the river to Millersburg.
