Linda & Steve Weaver, the proprietors of Mount Nittany Winery & Vineyard, are grateful for a wonderful 2024 and are already making plans for 2025. Mount Nittany Winery will add two new dry wines - a dry Riesling and a Cuvée Blanc (Sauvignon Blanc aged in oak barrels) and continue Bingo with Beth, which will be offered monthly on a Friday night. Other plans include monthly wine and food-tasting events and a trivia night with a professional MC.

But there is still much to do at the vineyard this December.
