Exploring the Perkiomen Valley: Heritage and Vineyards

$146.00

Cost includes transportation, entrance fees, guides, lunch, tasting, snack and tips. 

Join us on a trip to the Perkiomen Valley to visit the Schwenkfelder Library and Heritage Center, home to an internationally recognized collection of artifacts that engage the visitor in the exploration of the themes of religious freedom, tolerance, art, genealogy, faith and spirituality. We will learn about the Schwenkfelder community and its culinary practices via the center’s exhibits, including a look at furniture, Fractur art, farm tools, and an indoor barn. Onward to Morgan’s Restaurant in Coplay, where we will enjoy lunch and conversation with each other. Dessert will follow at the Blue Mountain Vineyard, as we partake in a wine and chocolate pairing, as well as a tour of the vineyard and the winemaking process. The vineyard is located in the heart of the PA Appalachian Blue Mountains. This family run business has spent years providing knowledge of “the grape” in a fun, relaxing, and entertaining environment. There will be some uphill walking at the vineyard. 

Bus leaves Cheltenham High School promptly at 8:15 a.m.
