It was a great Holiday season at Hummingbird Ridge Winery with lots of old friends stopping in and we made a lot of new friends too! Thank You all so much for supporting us in 2011 and we wish you all a Prosperous 2012! We have some new things planned for 2012, including new weekday hours, more wine choices including sparkling wines, more events at the winery, and beer and wine making supplies available at the winery. We will be announcing more information in the coming months.
Our motto is “Experience The Flavor” and our goal is for every Hummingbird Ridge wine to be balanced and flavorful. We are open on Saturdays and Sundays from 11am to 6pm and our standard wine tastings are free of charge.
If you belong to a group, club or association and you would like a Private Wine Tasting for your group or your group is looking for a unique meeting place during the week or weekend, please call us at 717-315-0209 for availability. We hope to see you soon at the winery!!!

- January Wine Lineup: We are a microwinery and we make our wines in small batches so that we can focus on every detail of the winemaking process to craft the best wines for you. So at times we will sell out of certain wines. The following wines are currently available for tasting and purchase in our Tasting Room:
Red Reserve, Cabernet Sauvignon, full-bodied dry and delicious.
Semi-Dry Riesling, our crisp semi-dry white with bright citrus tones:
Hummingbird White, our soft and elegant semi-dry white
Sweet Dreams, sweet but smooth and flavorful
Ruby Elixir, our semi-sweet best-selling red.
Moonlight White, our (Award-Winning) semi-sweet Vidal Blanc with hints of honeyed pear and pineapple. (Moonlight is selling fast, so get it while you can!)
Pordevino, our port-style red wine with layers of blueberry and cherry flavor.
Pordeblanco, our port-style white wine, a unique flavor sensation with delicate citrus flavors.
Coming Soon: Our first blush wine called Celebration Blush, the perfect wine for any celebration!
- Recipe of the Month: Here is a delicious recipe that will warm you up over the winter with a taste of Hawaii. We featured it at our Wine and Cheese event last year and it was a big hit, Hummingbird Ridge Winery "Hawaiian Cheese Bread" Recipe
Ingredients: 1 bottle Hummingbird Ridge Semi-dry Riesling; 1 loaf (1 pound) Hawaiian Sweet Bread (available at most grocery stores); 8 ounce block of Swiss cheese; 1 small red onion, chopped; 1/2 cup butter, melted; 3 garlic cloves, minced; 1 teaspoon salt.
Instructions: Pour yourself a glass of Hummingbird Ridge Semi-dry Riesling and sip while preparing bread. Cut bread into 1 inch slices down to 1 inch from bottom of loaf (Do not slice all the way through loaf, leave 1 inch). Repeat cuts in opposite direction to intersect with first cuts. Cut swiss cheese into 1/4 inch slices. Insert cheese into bread between cuts. Combine onion, butter, garlic, and salt and spoon over bread. Wrap loaf in foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with Hummingbird Ridge Semi-dry Riesling. Enjoy!!!
