We’re starting to look forward to our Harvest Hosts camping getaways. It allows us to enjoy local food and drink, spend our money in the local economies we visit, and meet new people. Our most recent trip to Armstrong Valley Winery is no exception.
Located in Halifax, Pennsylvania, Armstrong Valley has something for everyone. Whether you like fascinating blends, sweet dessert wines, or you’re a neat, clean traditionalist when it comes to your wine, you’ll feel comfortable in their welcoming tasting room. The converted barn also includes an ample event space and an almost infinite amount of parking. We spent two days here, starting with the flights of red wine on day 1, followed by the white flights on day 2. The charcuterie and hummus boards were fresh and featured the local flavors of sweet Lebanon bologna, cheeses, and fruits.
Our personal favorites? The 2023 Shale Ridge Vineyard Riesling is dry with notes of tropical fruit, luscious pears, and crisp apple. The stone fruit, cedar, and vanilla notes of the award-winning 2022 Merlot were the perfect match with our glamping steak dinner. Their club options offer special discounts on multiple bottle purchases, plus 5% off all purchases, a quarterly get-together, early access to new releases, and two complimentary flights each quarter.
