Fruit-infused and spiced vanilla and cinnamon barrel-aged rum will wake up the rebel in you while local bourbons, applejacks, and whiskeys hug it by the shoulders and tell it to quiet down. There’s a sip and a gulp for every mood, so be willing to try new things and always ask for a sample when possible to get a taste of what is available to you.

Orchards, vineyards, and farms abound with produce that is served in Allentown, sustaining and nourishing the population. The area counts over 500 preserved farms that feature over 40,000 acres of farmland suitable for all kinds of crops. You can tour the farms and discover how the food is made and discover the ancient wisdom of pioneers and homesteaders.

Farmers’ markets are the ultimate destination for the crops and the produce from the local farms. Artisan chefs supply themselves there and you can also have your pick of the local produce there, including grapes such as:


  • Chambourcin
  • Riesling
  • Vidal Blanc
  • Chardonnay
  • Cayuga White


Those grapes find their way to any of the 30 local wineries where the wine tasting sampling can take you on a journey through the grape’s life from the vine to the barrel and to your glass. Dry wines are on equal footing with quirky products such as candy-flavored white wine infusion and peach-enriched bubbly wine. No matter which you go with, we guarantee they’re all absolutely delightful and will glide smoothly across your palate.
