YORK, Pa. — Adams County Winery announced Friday it is opening a location in York Central Market.
The store, which will be open in mid-February, will provide its award-winning wines from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday.
“We are honored to welcome Adams County Winery to the Central Market Family,” said Cindy Steele, the chief operations officer of York Central Market. “Our goal is to offer our community the very best, and Adams County Winery fits the bill perfectly. There is much excitement surrounding their arrival, and we are looking forward to a long and lasting relationship!“
The York booth will contain Adams County Winery's full selection of wines, including Tears of Gettysburg, Rebel Red, Twisted Thicket, and many more.
Samples will be available to customers of legal drinking age.
“We visited the York Central Market in December of 2023 and were immediately captivated by the historic charm of the building, the friendly people, and the wonderful community,” said Dan Baumgardner, the general manager of Adams County Winery. “It did not take long for us to decide we wanted to be a part of it, and we are thrilled to accommodate our guests’ requests and offer our full selection of wines in York.”
The York Central Market is a historic American public market that has been an iconic part of the downtown York area for more than a century.
“Standing at North Beaver and Philadelphia Streets for over 130 years, Central Market is a reminder of York’s storied history and the anchor of the revitalization of Downtown York,” said Steele. “More than just a beautiful historic building, Central Market is both a grassroots commercial operation and a community gathering place. It is the economic and social heart of our city.”
Adams County Winery opened its doors in 1975 in Orrtanna and is currently Pennsylvania’s fifth-oldest operating winery, as well as the Gettysburg area’s original winery.
Along with their new York location, they also have the Farm Winery in Orrtanna and the Gettysburg Wine Shop in Gettysburg.
The Farm Winery location sits on over 75 acres of rolling hills and farmland while operating out of an 1860s registered historic Pa. bank barn.
In 1988, Tears of Gettysburg was first bottled at the winery, and to this day, it remains one of their most popular wines, as well as one of the oldest continually made wines in Pennsylvania.
