No visit to Penn State is complete without a trip along the Central PA Tasting Trail. Experience the area surrounding The Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center in a unique and tasty way when you take a self-guided tour of the trail’s twelve award-winning craft breweries, wineries, cideries, and distilleries. Each stop along the trail offers delicious, one-of-a-kind beverages for you to try, including specialty beers, Nittany-inspired wines, handcrafted spirits, and flavorful ciders. It’s the perfect way to spend an evening or a whole day, and you won’t have to travel far because most of the venues are less than ten miles away from our hotel. We’ll be here with a cozy room and a comfortable bed when you return.
