Wyndridge Farm: A Scenic Sip, A Delicious Bite, and a Side of Sunday Football in Dallastown, PA

Wyndridge Farm: A Scenic Sip, A Delicious Bite, and a Side of Sunday Football

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Wyndridge Farm with my cousins, one of whom lives nearby in Red Lion, PA—so this spot was just a hop, skip, and a beautiful country drive away. The rolling hills and golden fields set the tone for what turned out to be a perfectly relaxed and memorable outing.

Our group of ten was seated in the brewery section, which immediately gave me a nostalgic nod back to my days at The Boston Beer Company. There’s something about the vibe of a working brewery that feels both rustic and alive—with tanks hissing quietly in the background and the comforting scent of hops in the air. If you’re looking for a more elevated or formal setting, I’d recommend asking for the dining room, but for our gathering, the brewery was spot-on.


Now, the food: they handled our large group with ease, and the service was efficient and friendly. I ordered the chicken and waffles, which hit all the sweet-and-savory notes I was hoping for. My mom had the short rib hash, which was hearty and flavorful. We shared the Brussels sprouts—absolutely fantastic, crispy and boldly seasoned—and a plate of donuts, which were just okay in comparison to everything else. But the Bloody Marys? Total hit. Everyone who ordered one raved about the bold flavor and perfect kick.



Of course, I couldn’t leave without checking out the merch (I love brewery gear), and I snagged an adorable Wyndridge hat that’s already made its way into my regular weekend rotation. We also picked up a few carry-home beers—perfect for transitioning into Sunday football watching mode later that afternoon.

Wyndridge Farm is the kind of place that feels like a little reward tucked away in the Pennsylvania countryside—good food, a great atmosphere, and just the right mix of charm and hops. I’d gladly return, next time maybe with a little more room in the trunk for more merch and beer varietals.

The Wine Cellar: Worth the Wait, and the Trip to Gallitzin, PA

Come for the mushrooms, stay for the cake (or give it to Mom ) I've had The Wine Cellar on my must-try list for months, and it finally happened. This cozy, candlelit little spot is literally in a cellar--and it oozes charm. Pro tip: they're only open a few days a week, so call or shoot them a Facebook message to make sure you're on the list! Here's the inside story... Back in mid-March, I was visiting my hometown of Altoona, PA when my mom said, “Have you ever been to The Wine Cellar?” I hadn’t—but her excitement got me curious. I checked online (Thursday? Perfect!) and we drove up to Gallitzin, only to find it… closed. Rookie mistake. My New York instincts should’ve known better— you always call ahead in Central PA! My mom had a good laugh, and I had to admit defeat. 😄 Fast forward to post-July 4th weekend—we finally made it in, and it was so worth the wait . Now the food... We started with the Drunken Mushrooms, and let me tell you, they were earthy, wine-kissed p...

Root 11: Where the Puns Are as Fresh as the Produce in Bloomsburg, PA

Root 11: Where the Puns Are as Fresh as the Produce Bloomsburg, PA Sometimes you’re road-tripping across Pennsylvania on Route 80, and your stomach sends you one of two messages: “Let’s find something deep-fried and covered in cheese” or “Help. Please. A vegetable would be nice.” Enter Root 11 , an absolute gem just off Route 11 in Bloomsburg, and yes — I practically squealed when I saw the name. I live for a well-executed pun, and this one is spot on. Not only is it a clever nod to its location, but also to the root veggies, wholesome ingredients, and local goodness that fuel their menu. I rolled in with my trusty co-pilot — who, unlike me and my usual salt-and-sweets pit stops, prioritizes energizing, nutritious meals. Root 11 fit the bill perfectly . I ordered a fresh, vibrant salad with a side of their creamy broccoli cheddar soup (gluten-free and soy-free!), plus a refreshing hibiscus lemonade that just tasted like wellness in a glass. Bonus: they have outdoor seating! My d...

Gio's BBQ:📍 Somewhere off Route 80, Pennsylvania

  Gio's BBQ — A Strong 4 Stars! 📍 Somewhere off Route 80, Pennsylvania When you're road tripping across Route 80 and hunger strikes, you hope to stumble on a place like Gio’s . A local favorite with a cult following, Gio’s caught our attention not just for the smoky smells wafting from the parking lot, but for its unexpected location— tucked right inside a gas station . Welcome to Pennsylvania, where maximizing space (and traffic) is a bit of an art form. My friend Rachel, a fellow foodie from my Heinz days, flagged it as a must-try, and when she suggests a spot, I don’t ask questions—I say absolutely . Let me tell you: I loved my pulled pork sammy. Saucy, tender, and flavorful enough to make you want to linger—even if you’re just stopping for gas. The ambiance? Let’s call it gas-station-grit meets nostalgic comfort. The booths gave me  Sir-A-Skate flashbacks —a perfect nod for those of us who grew up near Altoona, but even if you didn’t, I think most people can pictu...
