Happy Valley Vineyard576 S Foxpointe DrState College, PA 16801

Happy Valley Vineyard was established in 1999 with an initial three acres of vines on land initially settled for farming in the 1850's.

The vineyard has more than tripled in size at 9.5 acres and consists of white and red cultivars that are well adapted to the continental climate of Centre County and to the limestone soils of our farm. Enologists state that "wine is made in the vineyard" so we have been growing premium grapes that produce wines with distinctive varietal character.

The winery was built in the summer of 2010 and our first vintage followed in the fall of 2010. We grow 90% of the grapes that we use to make our wine so we consider ourselves "Farm to Bottle". Since we grow over 10 different cultivars we can produce many different wines of varying styles. Anything from dry fruity whites to oaky full-bodied reds, of course every one's favorite Appalachia Red which is a sweet blend, and even an award-winning Ice Wine.

Oak Spring Winery2401 E Pleasant Valley BlvdAltoona,PA 16601

Nestled in the picturesque mountains of Central Pennsylvania Oak Spring Winery was founded in 1987 by John & Sylvia Schraff. About half way up the drive, an old oak tree grew at the spot where a spring came out of the ground and created a marshy area full of cattails. That tree inspired the name Oak Spring and became the symbol for the winery that still appears on the labels.

The Schraffs planted 3 acres of vineyard and in September 1987 and received their license to open a winery. By November they decided that they should open the winery to take advantage of the Christmas season.

They bought a building along the main North-South highway from Altoona. Originally a fruit market, the structure had about 7500 square feet of space, enough for a winemaking facility, case storage, a cold room for wine stability, the largest tasting room in Pennsylvania, and an extra space for winemaking or beer-brewing classes.

Shortly after the building became available, John's son Scott decided he’d like to return to Altoona after spending 10 years working in New York City as a photojournalist, and learn the wine business. Five years later, Scott is running the winery, and John & Sylvia have retired from their full-time jobs and from day-to-day responsibilities at the winery.

Today the winery is producing 6,500 cases annually.

The Schraffs currently have 4 acres of producing vineyards. The remainder of grapes are purchased from growers around the State.

Seven Mountain Wine Cellers107 Mountain Springs LaneSpring Mills,PA 16875

More specifically, in 1976, when our owner and winemaker, Scott Bubb, crafted his first batch of wine using Concord grapes he’d handpicked from his Aunt Sylvia's backyard (talk about homegrown!). Though his first experience didn't go exceptionally well, Scott has spent each day since turning his appreciation for wine into his life's work, creating the highest quality wines for any palette. Scott's father once told him, "If the job isn't worth doing right, it's not worth doing at all." That advice still runs through his head today as he continues to perfect new, exciting blends.Scott opened Seven Mountains Wine Cellars in 2008 alongside his wife, Mary Ann. Together, the two have transformed their small wine-making venture into a successful, multi-award-winning family business, with their three children also taking part. The Bubbs now sell upwards of 40 wines at the winery, located in Spring Mills, PA.
