~ 39 years of wine education & appreciation ~
Exploring wines from around the world with you!
About Us
The Pennsylvania Wine Society (PWS), founded in 1987 as a non-profit organization, helps people learn about fine wine, wine-making processes, selecting fine wines, and pairing food and wine for a better sensory experience.
PWS is an authorized distributor for Riedel glassware. This varietal-specific stemware enhances enjoyment of wine's aroma, taste, texture and finish.
PWS’s motto is “life is too short to drink bad wine.”
Who We Are
We aren't people who just drink wine - we LOVE wine and we enjoy learning about wine! Our events range from informal, social events to structured, formal tastings of wines from all over the world presented by knowledgeable and engaging winemakers and wine experts.
PWS Member Benefits include the Wine Cellar newsletter subscription, exclusive access to website resources for wine education, wine and food pairing recipes, and other blogs for wine enthusiasts. Members enjoy priority registration for events, reduced event fees, and other perks. Members elect the PWS Board of Directors.
Our Mission
Our mission is to educate people about fine wine, vinifera grape growing, and the wine-making process. We aim to provide a high-end sensory experience of fine wines, and wine and food pairings.
Events
We’d love to share this fun with you – all are welcome! You need not be a member to attend but you may want to join for the discounts.
Our members range from beginners to connoisseurs. Many of us knew nothing about wine when we joined PWS, and we continue to have fun learning every month!
