Bring lawn chairs. Non-Hummingbird Ridge alcohol is not permitted on winery premises.
We held our first educational event at the winery last month with a Wine and Cheese Tasting and Seminar, which featured 5 courses of Light Snacks and Appetizers (featuring Premium Cheeses from around the World) paired with 5 different Hummingbird Ridge Winery wines. The participants were also led through a series of exercises designed to test their wine knowledge, aromatic and taste senses, and teach some winemaking skills. We will be scheduling another session like this in a couple months.
-      As many of you know, the Uncork York Wine Trail, of which we are a member, has been going through some changes, including a name change. The new name will be The Mason Dixon Wine Trail and will now include some Maryland wineries, as well as Pennsylvania wineries. This will make our wine trail bigger and better, with more wine choices for you! The new website is www.masondixonwinetrail.com  Look for more info coming soon.
- A big Thank You to everyone who came out to the Grand Opening of our New Wine Deck on June 4th. We had a great time with live music by the "Son of a Beach" Jimmy Buffett Tribute. There were a lot of Parrotheads there from the local Parrothead Clubs and we Thank Mary Chopak of the Parrotheads in Amish Paradise club, who wrote the following about the event in the club newsletter, The Tequila Times:  
"On a recent Saturday afternoon in June, Hummingbird  Ridge Winery in Newberrytown hosted the grand  opening of their new deck with a Jimmy Buffett deck  party featuring “Son of a Beach”.  It started off as a perfect spring day, low humidity  and plenty of sunshine. Andy and I stocked the car with chairs, some finger foods and my sister and her  husband who were visiting for the weekend.
When we arrived at the winery, we were astonished at the amount of people that had already arrived. We staked a claim in an area under shade where we could hear the music as all the tables were filled. Looking around we spotted some of our Amish Parrotheads and also folks from the Hanover Society Club.
As my sister had not been at Hummingbird before, we took her inside to taste the delicious wines. Judy, another Amish Parrothead, was helping out with the wine pouring. After tasting we purchased a bottle or two and went outside to mingle with the other Parrotheads and enjoy the music. It was a great venue and only after some liquid sunshine started falling did we make our way out of the winery."
