Wineries & Vineyards
Explore award-winning vineyards from your
private base at Annville Inn Bed & Breakfast!
Did you know that Pennsylvania is the fifth largest producer of grapes in the United States and home to over 300 wineries? Thanks to the rich soil of the fertile Lebanon Valley and a climate similar to central Europe, our region produces world-class French-American hybrids and traditional vinifera varieties.
Best of all, Annville Inn Bed & Breakfast sits directly at the center of south-central Pennsylvania’s wine region. While other destinations may only have one or two nearby tasting rooms, our central location places you within a short drive of dozens of premier, award-winning vineyards.
Pennsylvania Wines! Did you know….
Pennsylvania is the fifth largest producer of grapes in the United States?
We rank 7th in the USA in wine production?
Pick any point on the map of Pennsylvania and you are never more than 1 hour from a winery.
Pennsylvania’s climate – hot summers and cold winters – is more like Europe than California or Australia and presents the ideal territory for emerging French-American hybrid grapes, and traditional vinifera varieties.
Pennsylvania produces more than 2 million gallons of wine annually and is a $1.5 billion economic engine for our state’s agrarian economy.
