History
Penn Shore Vineyards obtained one of the first two limited winery licenses issued by the state and began crushing grapes in September 1969. They opened the doors of the winery in April of
1970. Penn Shore has many firsts to its credits including offering the very first Pennsylvania Champagne in 1970. A tour through the current cooperage area brings you face to face with tall, mammoth stainless steel storage tanks, a barrel room, champagne cellar, a modern bottling area, and large warehousing facilities. In addition to the retail and tasting bar there is a lovely patio in the midst of vast vineyards open for your convenience.
During the tourist season, Penn Shore personnel can expect at least 150 people a day,
often 250. There have been as many as 300-400 people touring the facility and tasting wines in a day.
