Camp is a time where parents can get a little first hand knowledge on every
thing wine. Explore the vineyards, learn what to taste for, understand how to
pair foods with wine and enjoy the sights and smells of eight different
wineries on this three day adventure.

are able to forget about their schedule,
Blackberries and conference calls and enjoy a glass of wine
in the scenic Pa Country Side.” It is at camp where adult’s knowledge of fine
wine making grows and matures with each vineyard."
Wine Camp is a teaching ground for the art of tasting wine;
a true experience for the senses as we explore the area wineries. Enjoy a
tasting at several of the area’s finest wineries as we develop our skills with
this intense three day look at the fine art of wine tasting. Your wine tasting
skills will be broadened. Enjoy a walk through the vineyards on a late summer
day, dine al fresco with the colors of the fields behind you and relax in fine
area restaurants at the end of the day.
Wine Camp provides intense interaction with your counselors
as we travel with you throughout the Central PA
countryside. All transportation is provided for your two day tour. At the end of the day, enjoy luxurious “cabins”
with your “bunk mate”. According to Carl Kosko Camp Counselor at the Harvest
Moon Bed and Breakfast, "No need to bring the sleeping bag, your “Counselors”
will provide all provisions for your stay; including rooms of distinction, one
of a kind amenities, breakfast to brag about and host with a penchant towards
making their “campers” content.” He continues by saying, “Our Bed and
Breakfasts offer our guest unparalleled service.”

to all meals and transportation. Lodging is extra and is available at either inn.

TAKE A WALK ON THE GREEN SIDE OF LANCASTER
A Culinary Diversion:
The many faces of Herbs
Lancaster: As green spreads across the rolling farmland
of Lancaster
County, spring brings fresh promises of new beginnings. On Saturday, May 10, three area bed and
breakfasts will guide tourists and locals on a path sure to please all five
senses.
With the help of local experts and nurseries, they will
explore all facets of herbs – starting with aesthetically pleasing additions to
gardens, whether in containers, traditional herb gardens or intermingled with
favorite perennial partners.
They’ll learn the medicinal properties, new ways to use both
the fragrance and taste of herbs and finish the day with a feast of a
five-course herb-inspired dinner on Saturday night.
Not to be overlooked is the obvious “green” benefit of growing
your own herbs and having them at hand whenever the inspiration arrives to make
your own salad dressing, marinade, seasoning, or add an element of crisp flavor
to any dish. The fresh quality will
certainly be the favored alternative to driving to the local store and buying
plastic-encased herbs that have sat in warehouses, trucked across the country,
or shipped from outside the US.
The package is offered at $250 per couple and includes all
tours, tastings, lunch, dinner and transportation. The event is open to the public. Guests can arrange to stay at any of the bed
and breakfasts and receive a special herb-inspired gift basket.
