Thursday night, Pennsylvania Wines held a wine tasting and launch party at Davio’s Northern Italian Steakhouse to celebrate their new branding and a mobile-friendly website that encourages users to “Plan your weekend in wine land” and to use the #PAWineLandWKND hashtag. Invited guests included representatives from Pennsylvania wineries, media, and friends. Guests dined on executive chef Chris Tavares’s spring menu including shrimp, cheesesteak spring rolls, and crab.

The new Mobile-friendly website works on smart phones, tablets, and desktop computers, and includes tools for travelers to plot their trip through the countryside’s wineries. To plan your next weekend in wine country, go to PennsylvaniaWine.com.
