One of the draws of the vineyards around Reading is the beautiful scenery they offer. Start your tour of the vineyards at Blaire Vineyards. Located in Berks County, Blaire Vineyards is in Kutztown.

A covered tasting pavilion is a great place to enjoy a mountain view picnic with a glass of wine in your hand.
After Blair Vineyards, head to Long Trout Winery in Auburn. Long Trout Winery takes you on a step back to a different time. The winery has captured the atmosphere of the 1960s, with everything from bell bottoms to a peace sign shaped front door. Even the wine tastes different, heralding back to the wine traditions of the 1960s. Long Trout Winery does not have its own vineyard, but it does have a lovely natural setting for you to enjoy with your wine tasting.
If you want to get back to the roots of family-run wine making, head to Clover Hill Vineyards and Winery, a family-owned business in Lehigh Valley in the community of Robesonia. Their focus is on their wine, but you won't mind the views either if you come for a tasting.
If your list of things to do involves more beer than wine, you won't be disappointed around Reading. Consider scheduling a weekend for a brewery tour. Starting in Easton with the Weyerbacher Brewing Company and the breweries of downtown Easton, then heading to Bethlehem and Bethlehem Brew Works, your weekend will start off with some exceptional brews. Your second day will take you to Stoudt's Brewing Company in Adamstown, followed by French Creek State Park in Elverson. Finally, round out yoru tour at Yuengling Brewery in Pottsville.
