Explore Pennsylvania’s Finest Wineries, Breweries & Distilleries

Pennsylvania has a long history brewing beer, making wine and distilling spirits. When he founded the colony, William Penn encouraged brewing and distilling and saw it as a major economic contributor to its growth. And, America’s first commercial winery was said to have been opened in Pennsylvania in 1786. Local brewers, distillers and winemakers are continuing this tradition to this day, producing fine beers, spirits and wines. Read on to learn about some of the Pennsylvania Made products perfect for enjoying this summer.
