Discover Breinigsville

Several specific themes come together in Breinigsville for trip planning: wine, spirits, seasonal activities involving apples and corn, and two parks with clearly identified features. If you’re planning a stay, it may help to decide first whether you’re more interested in a seasonal farm program, wine or a park activity. The options differ mainly in whether they are tied to a season, a wine tasting, production or a particular park.

Apple Picking and Seasonal Activities

Grim's Orchard & Family Farms offers pick-your-own apples; availability is seasonal. It also hosts a fall festival and corn mazes, whose seasonal program may vary. This means your travel dates and the farm activities you have planned go hand in hand: if you’re visiting Breinigsville for apple picking or fall activities, check in advance what is scheduled during your intended visit. Pick-your-own apples, the festival and corn mazes give the farm a seasonal focus that differs from the wine and park themes.

Wine and History

Vynecrest in Breinigsville is considered the oldest continuously operating vineyard in Lehigh County; the first vines were planted in 1974. Vynecrest also offers complimentary samples of several wines, including Lemberger, Vynecrest Red, Naked Chardonnay and Autumn Gold. Visitor offerings may change, so it’s a good idea to check the current tasting selection before your visit. This lets you pair a wine tasting as a distinct reason for your trip with the vineyard’s history.

At Clover Hill Vineyards & Winery, the wine tradition began in Breinigsville in September 1985. Alongside the planting date at Vynecrest, this provides a useful distinction: 1974 marks the first vines, while September 1985 marks the beginning of Clover Hill’s wine tradition. The dates therefore represent different milestones. If you’re interested in the history of winemaking, these different time references help put the two wine-related themes in context.

Spirits from Breinigsville

Clover Hill Spirits produces vodka, brandy and gin at a distillery in Breinigsville. This connection to spirits production adds a different product category from wine to the range of themes for a stay. The three named types of spirits offer a specific point of interest if you’d like to associate Breinigsville with more than wine and wine tastings.

Parks and Independence Day

Earl Adams Memorial Park (Breinigsville Park) has a walking path. This is a specific point to consider if you’d like to include a walk in your park visit. Check its condition before visiting if the path is important to your plans; park amenities can change. The park is also the site of an annual Independence Day celebration with fireworks. If you’d like to plan your stay around this event, check the specific event date.

Rodale Park (The Velodrome) includes a cycling track and a stadium. The parks therefore have different focuses: Earl Adams Memorial Park features a walking path and an annual celebration, while Rodale is distinguished by its cycling track and stadium. This makes it easier to choose between a walk with a recurring holiday event and a facility with a cycling track and stadium.
