Penns Woods Winery is the result of Gino Razzi’s lifetime of experience in the world of wine. A respected importer and distributor of wine, Gino is an Italian immigrant from Abruzzo, in southern Italy. He settled in the Delaware County area in 1962, where he was fostered by the area’s Italian-American community. In 1995, Gino turned his experience towards the craft of winemaking and he finished his first wine in 1997.
Since then, Penns Woods Winery has wowed wine lovers of near and far, continuing to offer an endless lineup of award-winning wines always paired with fabulous wine-infused activities. Here’s what Razzi and the PWW clan is offering up through fall:
Ferraris, Vines and Wines
Aug. 6, noon – 5pm
A showcase of contemporary and classic Ferraris will grace Razzi’s property, and all adoring fans are encouraged to partake in the festivities! Explore the polished vehicles while sipping wines that are equally elegant, sourced from throughout the Brandywine Valley Wine Trail. In addition to Penns Woods’ award-winning lineup, guests will be able to also enjoy sips from Black Walnut Winery, Paradocx Vineyard, Patone Cellars and Chaddsford Winery. A sampling of foods will be provided on-site by Yellow Springs Catering and Talluto’s Authentic Italian Food, in addition to live music performed by David Coppa & Scrapple. More info here.
