The Pennsylvania countryside at the midpoint of the Appalachian Trail is one of the most visited regions in the Keystone State and an ideal destination for craft beer lovers as well as aficionados of small-batch wine, spirits, and cider. Nestled in the heart of this region is Cumberland Valley where visitors will find a picturesque crossroads that combines spectacular outdoor scenery with historic downtowns, all within an easy drive from Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.
