3. Blue Mountain Vineyards & Cellars, New Tripoli, Pennsylvania, USA
Blue Mountain Vineyards & Cellars is a family-owned Pennsylvania winery in New Tripoli that’s big on tradition, yet not a traditional wine company. The climate and soil composition in the Blue Mountains is similar to that of the Loire and Burgundy regions in France, which enables this winery to produce a wide range of wines that’s ‘old world style’: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay. Blue Mountain Vineyards has received several awards for their outstanding wines, making it a must-visit stop on your wine tourism vacation! Take a tour of the winery, do a wine & cheese pairing, or a wine & chocolate pairing. As a bonus you will receive a souvenir glass after your tasting! It’s highly recommended to book ahead of time, their tasting room is very popular. You can book this winery for special occasions, or attend one of their fun events, such as comedy night or live music. Or visit on one of the days when popular food trucks offer delicious meals. Take home some of their award-winning wines from the shop. This winery is part of Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley wine trail.
4. Blue Mountain Vineyards, Berthoud, Colorado
Located west of beautiful Berthoud, Colorado, which has plenty of small town charm, Blue Mountain Vineyards is waiting for all wine lovers. This winery is a true oasis, located in the ‘Garden Spot Of Colorado’, a great place that’s supported by the local communities.

The woods surrounding this vineyard are home to the fabulous Great Horned Owls. You can also take a tour through the spectacular gardens, which have plants blooming from early spring all the way through the cool autumns. A great setting for weddings and other special events!
