Lake Erie Wine Country is a gorgeous stretch of land that stretches 50 miles along Pennsylvania and New York, located in the heart of America’s Grape Country.
It covers 30,000 acres, the majority of which are native to the area. In those 50 miles, you’ll find 24 wineries–some are so close together that it takes only minutes to drive from one to the next!
I recently participated in one of the great tours that Lake Erie Wine Country offers. Although I didn’t make a visit to all 24 wineries on the route, I visited quite a few and each had a different taste.
Mazza Vineyards actually has a few additional locations and sister stores in Pennsylvania and New York. When you first walk in, you go down, into the cellars of the building–the perfect atmosphere for wine sampling and purchasing.
Courtyard Wineries was one of the most bustling stops on the tour, with fabulous tastes of wine. The food pairing was delicious and I would’ve been satisfied with a sample of the chocolate wine alone!
