The owner is always very friendly and helpful in choosing one of their wines closest to your palette. My favorite of their dry reds is a Tempranillo...it's great with dark chocolate. My favorite go to of the white is the Pino Grigio...it's good with everything else!The wines are comparable to commercial wines (often much better) and the shaded patio looks into the vineyards. During the week it's a great place for "book club"... Take a friend or two or three and share a beautiful summer breeze, a picnic and a bottle of wine in Happy Valley!

It's the end of the year at PSU, so it's move-out day. It's…read moreamazing how students have to learn to manage their time in school and also learn to organize their belongings to fit in their parents' vehicles at the end of the school year. The campus provides a large wheeled bin to help students carry their belongings from the dorm to their cars. You must sign the bin out and return it by a certain time; otherwise, you will be charged a late return fee. There is a donation room designated for usable items you no longer want or need. The donated items go to the local Goodwill. The PSU campus police don't issue tickets to non-registered cars during the move-out period as long as you put on your flashers. Bottom line: that dorm room assigned to you better look like the day you moved in, or the student/parents will receive a bill for trash left behind, items left in the room, and anything damaged.

I am giving this location a review based on potential as I was here for an auction and not for a…read moreshow. With some tlc, decorations and string lighting this place could be a rustic venue dream come true. There are two stages one outdoor and one indoor. My phone died from the cold before I could take pictures of the inside but the indoor stage was everything one would expect and had roughly 100 seats wrapped around three sides of it. (Potentially a great space for a wedding party to view pictures or if the couple is into acting...a skit or something of that nature) There are gardens and arbors galore. There is also a spaces of land for parking and/or room for setting up tables for an events. I was happily surprised to find many trails behind the the theatre and even though I'd been carrying two children for over four hours(it's good form of cardio) in Pennsylvania's blistering cold I was able to take them both for a nice fall scenic walk while we waited for the auction to close. For anyone who's been to Canonsburg's Little Lake theatre I would say this place is very much like that theatre minus the lake location. Overall, from a potential venue aspect I feel like this place could be a place of lots of celebrations. As for the theatre productions themselves I have no experience but their website boasts lots of information and bios of the cast. Location is close to Penn State, Penn's Cave and other fun places. Certainly a location to consider and if you're into theatre this might be the place for you.

We've always wanted to walk through the Palmer Museum but finally had an opportunity to do so when…read moreit started raining during our summer visit. Palmer is free although you do have to pay for parking which was still inexpensive. The Palmer has a wide variety of art. It's comprehensive without feeling overwhelming. The docents are also very knowledgeable and told us about the history of the museum. (Thank you, Dottie!) The building is only a few years old, and the architecture takes advantage of the adjacent arboretum which is also free and worth a stroll. Leave yourself 60-90 minutes to enjoy all the exhibits.

Palmer Museum of Art…read more I happened upon the Palmer Museum of Art while on a work trip and, to be honest, I wasn't expecting much more than a small university gallery. Instead, I found a surprisingly thoughtful and well-curated collection that easily rivals many regional museums. The museum itself is beautifully designed, bright, modern, and inviting without feeling overwhelming. The galleries flow naturally, making it easy to wander from room to room and spend more time than you originally planned. What struck me most was the range of the collection. From American paintings to contemporary works, the pieces are presented with care and clear interpretation, making the experience enjoyable whether you're a serious art lover or just a curious visitor with an hour to spare. For a museum located on a university campus, the quality of the collection is impressive. Several pieces made me stop longer than expected, and the curation feels intentional rather than simply academic. It's the kind of place where you go in thinking you'll do a quick walk-through and end up lingering. If you happen to be in the area, even for work, it's absolutely worth a visit. The Palmer Museum of Art is a reminder that sometimes the most rewarding cultural experiences are the ones you discover by accident. Topped the museum with a visit at the Creameryas recommended by the docent.
