This past spring, a severe frost swept across Pennsylvania, leaving an impact on vineyards that will be felt for years to come.
Winemaker Davide Creato of Penns Woods Winery (Penns Woods Winery) walks through the vineyard to show the effects the frost had on their vines—and offers a glimpse into the challenges that come with growing grapes in Pennsylvania.
A reminder that Pennsylvania wineries are agricultural businesses and farmers. Each year, they face the unpredictable forces of nature, from frost and extreme heat to drought and storms. This year, vineyards across the Commonwealth were affected, and the impact will continue to be felt in the seasons ahead.
