Pennlive threw Candace Smith, director of sales and marketing, several questions and received these answers:

F something new about products or event locations?

A, as the Renaissance Faire celebrates its 45th season in Pennsylvania, Mount Hope Winery is proud to present Majesty Riesling's reserve. This refreshing, fruity, balanced wine is packed in a breathtaking sapphire bottle and describes the 45th anniversary and a white screen printing profile of her majesty Queen Elizabeth I.

The warmer weather brought the two summer aromas of Lancaster County Cider Peach Vanilla and raspberry back to Mount Hope. As a result of protective requests, Spirits Distilling Co. brings two new products to the fair site, including Ritter OWL, a coffee liqueur and the coconut rum from Captain Rude.

The Barn & Barrel event room with the existing 200-year inner structure with a view to the modern wine production facility organizes barn weddings, tasting trips, meals for farm-to-table and other events, including picnic for companies, alumni events, holiday celebrations and comedy shows.

The fastest growing use of this room are corporate events such as picnic celebrations, holiday celebrations, improvisation for the workshop on professional development and offer our neighboring companies a place to celebrate their teams.

F, have you added new wines or products in recent years? I think you always had the different series, yes (vinifera, fruit, red, white)?

A, in 2022, published Spirits Distilling Co. a number of cocktails from cocktails in canned food in order to better serve the growing popularity of the cocktail service in the Pour houses at the fair location. The RTDs include The Bees Knie's, a classic Mojito, Peach Tea Whiskey cooler and changing varieties.

Mount Hope Winery is about to rename his popular Mead series, which is previously known as Travelers Mead. The unveiling will be expected later this summer at the beginning of the Renaissance season in Pennsylvania in August.

3, I would have to look back on some of my old numbers … Do you do as much wine as you made? Fewer? More?

A, the winemaker reported that Mount Hope Winery produces a little less due to the closure of three retail stores over several years. Although the nationwide wine consumption is to lower ABV offers after the transition of consumer trends, retail sales in our remaining shops on the Mount Hope Estate and the vine gallery in bird are constant. Mount Hope Peach Wine is still the most popular in the fruit series, which also includes Blackberry, Cherry, Pear, Plum and Raspberry.

F, Beyond FlaFrestfest, do you have the usual big events this summer and autumn?

A, here is the list:

• Celtic Fling & Highland GamesOn June 28th and 29th with a kick-off concert on June 27: Celebrate the Celtic heritage with a “small Scotland” and “Touch of the Irish). The Celtic Fling is a music festival, a sporting event, cultural experience, craft, food and beverage at a weekend party!
