The events, aptly named “First Friday Wine Tasting” and “Second Friday Beer Tasting”, occur on the first and second Fridays of every month of the year and are a particularly nice way to combat a chilly Pennsylvania winter. “We attract a pretty varied crowd,” says Laura, a hostess at Green Gables. “It’s a nice mix of younger and older people.”

Located at the well-known Mountain Playhouse, the tastings take place at the restaurant from 6:00PM-8:00PM. Wine tastings cost $25 per person and include samplings of six varieties of wine. Beer tastings are $20 per person and provide samplings of eight finely-crafted beers. Each includes a selection of light hors d’oeuvres.

What better excuse to head out with a friend or spouse?  “We have great wines and beers that you just won’t find at other places in the area,” says Laura. “Come out, try something new and have a good time.”
