August 29, 2014
Wine & Tapas (6:00-8:00 p.m.)

Mark your calendar for the fourth annual “Wine & Tapas” End of Summer Gala on Friday, August 29 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. This festive after-hours event at the Winery is a great way to “celebrate the grapes” as everyone looks forward to the harvest only weeks away. Start off with a glass of sangria on the deck while you enjoy the easy-listening jazz of Jay Vonada’s Jazz Quartet. Then you’ll be ushered to the Vintner’s Loft where you’ll experience a range of flavorful appetizers paired with Mt. Nittany wines. While you’re here, you are welcome to take a stroll through the vineyard, or hike to a favored “look-out” picnic table. And plan to take some wine home with you—special event discounts will be offered. Cost is $25 and reservations are required and can be made by calling (814) 466-6373.
