Chester County wineries offer some of the best locally made wines in the state, writes staff for Philadelphia Magazine.
Pennsylvania’s reputation for award-winning distilling and winemaking has existed for centuries.
Colony founder William Penn believed distilling would be an important contributor to the state’s economic growth. The wine tasting experience remains a vital part of local culture and business.
The state’s long history with the industry means delicious, local wines are never far away. Here are two of the best Chester County wineries offering delicious wines and scenic outdoor seating perfect for a summer evening outdoors.
Casa Carmen Farm and Winery—West Grove. Founded by brothers Enrique and Felipe Pallares, Casa Carmen is known for its dry wines and Spanish-style vermouth made with local botanicals.
