Pennsylvania just offers surprises at every turn, doesn’t it? Just when we think we’ve seen, heard, or discovered it all, we stumble across another hidden gem. And, if you like exploring wineries, you’re in for a real treat with this historic winery that welcomes guests to sample its wines, take a tour of its facilities, and to drink in the historic charm of the stone wine cellar.

Spend a leisurely day wine tasting and drinking in the sheer charm of this underground winery, at South Shore Wine Company in North East.

Of course, the historic wine cellar also boasts its own storied past. The enchanting stone wine cavern was originally built in the 1860s.

However, by the time the 21st century rolled around, the original South Shore Wine Company closed, leaving the stone wine cellar empty.

Then, in 2007, Robert Mazza, founder of Mazza Vineyards, purchased the historic property, re-opening it to wine connoisseurs and other guests all year-around.
