GETTYSBURG Hidden Gems in
As we welcome the warmth, the beauty, and the promise of hope and renewal that blossoms with spring, Gettysburg, PA welcomes all visitors for a unique, safe adventure.
Gettysburg stands as one of our nation’s premiere historic travel destinations. But locals and return visitors alike know a secret about Adams County -- Hidden amidst Gettysburg’s sacred history is a thriving craft beverage and foodie scene with bountiful agritourism experiences.
In spring, its many eateries and tasting rooms will be open with outdoor, socially distanced seating and seasonal farm-to-table menus to tantalize your inner foodie. Enjoy contemporary meals prepared by award-winning chefs, sample a bounty of locally sourced and crafted beverages, and experience period-accurate food prepared in a landmark setting.
Begin your journey with lunch at the Terrace Bistro at Adams County Winery in Orrtanna, Pennsylvania. Sit on the porch and enjoy a glass of your favorite wine. If you are having trouble choosing just one wine to sip on, start off with a free wine tasting!
Next, head to Halbrendt Vineyard & Winery only four miles away. Halbrendt’s wines lean more heavily dry, with a few semi-dry and semi-sweet wines to sample. Enjoy a glass in their picnic area overlooking the beautiful vineyards.
The Adams County countryside is painted with idyllic country farms that are brimming with regional produce. Get a literal taste of the county by visiting one of the many family-owned fruit and farm markets for the most perfect produce and delectable baked goods.

The Adams County Pour Tour™, our own robust craft beverage trail, features wineries, breweries, cideries, distilleries and meaderies that all incorporate the essence of the region in their offerings. Many stops along the tour feature farm-to-table dining options to indulge in the tastes of our agriculture scene.
The opportunity to relax among the very ingredients used to create your choice libations along the Adams County Pour Tour is an extraordinary and authentic experience. Grab a round of ale just feet away from rows of hanging hops (Thirsty Farmer), sip your wine while overlooking the picturesque vineyards (Boyers) and immerse yourself in the famous Adams County orchards as you enjoy a crisp hard cider.
The Mela Kitchen at Jack’s Hard Cider has the best of both worlds offering small plates with big flavor, and an impressive lineup of fresh seasonal ciders pressed on site.
To extend your culinary escapades, treat yourself to the authentic dining experiences that can be found alongside the Adams County Pour Tour. Using produce from the local fruit and farm markets, or cultivated right from the surrounding fields and orchards, innovative chefs create innovative farm-to-table dishes that are sure to inspire.
Discover the side of Gettysburg and Adams County you didn’t learn about on your school field trip. Combine the rich history of the area with the incredible tastes of the region and a thriving craft beverage scene for an experience not soon forgotten.
As we all move forward and define what the “next normal” looks like together, Gettysburg remains cautious, and optimistically proud to offer a culinary getaway experience like none other, that is fully committed to the safety of their guests, travelers, residents and community as their first priority.
