Summer Must-Dos

The season may be winding down, but there’s still plenty of fun to be had.

August signifies that summer is coming to an end, and if you’re anything like me, you didn’t accomplish half of the activities you had planned. But do not fear—there are plenty of summer-worthy happenings in and around the Main Line to ensure your summer is as memorable as ever.                   

Sangria Weekends at Penns Woods Winery

Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday in August, relax in the vineyard as you sip on delicious sangria, all while enjoying tunes from local musicians. It’s the perfect way to kick back on a warm summer afternoon.
