arcona
Inside our bottle shop at Arcona we are doing wine tastings on Saturdays from 3-7PM, and Sundays from 1-5PM. No reservations are required. A manager's selection of seven wines which varies week to week are available along with a free tasting of a brewed or liqueur product. The porch is right beside our wine bottle shop in the "wine barn" should you find something that you would enjoy on the estate or to take home.
ComING soon at the estate!
THE ESTATE OUTDOOR TASTING AREA
|
We plan again on implementing a Saturday & Sunday group tasting in the future.
These tastings will be by ticket only through the reservation system which will be available here, will be for up to 10 people for one hour, and will cost $195. A dedicated tent will be used for tasting by the group, from a manager's selection of either dry, sweet or mixed wines, plus a bonus fun libation. Each wine will be provided in an unopened bottle which the guest will have to open for their group and pour. At the end of the hour the bottles are the property of the guest. While you will not have to be masked for this event, our staff will be. For those holding non-profit certificates, we are also supporting those in a separate tent through a separate reservation system. Send an email to pkg.reservations@springgatelife.com to inquire about non-profit tastings. |
in 2023 OUR WINERY: TASTING ROOM, PATIOS AND MORE
THE BIER GARTENAttached to our brewery we have built the largest bier garten in central Pennsylvania where both beer and wine can be consumed, with almost 3000 square feet of indoor space, an acre of patio blocked hardscape, and an acre of grass. We invite you to join us!
Winery PATIOS: SUN AND SHADEAdjacent to the tasting room are several patio areas, shaded or open to the sun's warmth the choice is yours. They provide extensive seating to enjoy a glass or bottle of wine with friends and family. The open patio areas in both stone and grass encompasses a traditional ha-ha which is a landscape element to exclude livestock and preserve the view. Preserving the view of field, stream, oaks, beeches, black walnut, and white birch has been critical in the balancing of the site for guest use. The traditional livestock of roaming sheep, and chickens are contained by more modern means and at a distance, but our reindeer herding Samoyed "Icy" will occasionally make an appearance. As a Russian dog, he is less interested in the wine, and more interested in dropped food scraps and, of course, vodka. Grandpa Ernie's grandpa's hand pump is mounted to a stone pedestal above an ancient dry laid cistern and, when primed, still works today.
