Planning to visit a winery? Here is all you need to know about guidelines, tastings and events
Updated 9:54 AM;
The changes by the Centers for Disease Control this week regarding the wearing of masks brought the regional wine industry about as close as it has been to normal since March 2020.
Start with the fact that it’s getting warmer (not counting the fact it feels like winter Saturday morning), so wineries can begin to get full use out of patios and decks and lawns, and in many cases, you’re talking about a lot of space.
As of April 4, indoor capacity for Pennsylvania wineries increased to 75%, and food no longer has to be consumed to purchase alcohol. And while the new mask guidelines won’t eliminate the need for masks or social distancing, it likely will make more people comfortable to visit. No doubt winery staff will be wearing masks throughout the summer.
