Stone Lake Winery – Saylorsburg, PA

This journey is not only about seeing this glorious, beautiful country we live in but about interacting with people.  We enjoy engaging in conversation with those we meet along the way.  We learn about where they grew up, what jobs they held, and where their journey will lead them.  We have only been disappointed in one Harvest Host in our two and half years of travel.

This stop was no different.  The property we stayed at was once a sawmill with a soothing, babbling brook running in the back and thick forest trees lining the pond.  The property once consisted of a covered bridge, silo, and three buildings where wood was cut and stored.  The property was sold, and the new owners converted one of the buildings into bed and breakfast and turned the other into a small chapel where couples pledge to love one another in matrimony.  One building was transformed into an airplane hangar as a small airstrip was situated across the street.

 Five years ago, Scott purchased the property, and once again, the property was transformed.  The airplane hangar was turned into an event center where we tasted the wines.  Scott and his family host weddings, showers, and special events such as Sangria night and Food truck festivities.  (I wish we were there for Sangria night.)  We enjoyed conversing with Scott as we tasted his white and red wines.  There were many similarities between us as he said his wife was Italian and how close she was with her family.  He said he never received as many hugs until he met his wife’s family.  Of course, we had to discuss food.  What Italian doesn’t discuss food. Before we knew it, an hour and a half passed before we said goodbye with two bottles of wine in tow.
