WINERIES

Day 97 - 60° - Sunny, breezy - Carlisle Barracks Golf Course
Day 96 - 63° - Sunny, breezy - Spring Meadows Park

Today our guests, Rudy and Helen left for Austria. They will be returning at the end of June with their 3 children. The family will spend a year in Carlisle while Rudy studies at the Army War College.

They found a house in South Middleton, so we will be “neighbors”. We are delighted. Last evening we celebrated the arrangement with a glass of wine. We were telling them about the many wonderful wineries we have in the area.

Some of the popular wineries are: Hauser Estate Winery (http://www.hauserestate.com/), Reids Orchard and Adams County Winery (http://www.adamscountywinery.com/) in the Gettysburg area.

If you take a scenic ride north there is the Hunter’s Valley Winery which has been around for @ 25 years (http://www.huntersvalleywines.com/), and a new winery Buddy Boy Winery & Vineyard in Duncannon, which we have yet to visit.

On April 28, from noon to 5 pm, Downtown Carlisle is presenting Art, Music and Wine. There will be a wine and food tasing event at particpating downtown businesses along W. Pomfret & S. Hanover Streets. You can purchase a wine glass which will be your pass through the event. Proceeds will benefit the W. Pomfret Street "Going Green” project and the Calrisle Arts Learning Center.

It sounds like a fun time. So call us and book a room. We can even have your glass on hand when you arrive!

If you are visiting the area, be sure to make a reservation at the Red Cardinal B&B. We can easily provide a map that will lead you through a wine trail of the area.
