Emma Shorebreak wine tasting at Vivat Alfa Winery in Doylestown Pennsylvania Bucks County

Doylestown's countryside makes a compelling case for Bucks County as a legitimate wine destination, and an unhurried afternoon at Vivat Alfa Winery, glass in hand on a patio built for exactly that purpose, did nothing to change my mind. It ranks among the best wineries near Philadelphia for a low-key weekend outing.
