Day 1: We set off for a fun adventure. Today we travel to the Lancaster, Pennsylvania area and check into our hotel for a three-night stay.
Day 2: After breakfast we depart for a full day of touring. Our first stop is the Turkey Hill Experience, named one of the 25 Best “Factory Tours” in America. The Turkey Hill Experience features interactive exhibits allowing you to learn about dairy culture, the story of Turkey Hill Dairy, and how the company’s ice cream and iced tea flavors are selected and created. You will truly experience what it is like to be a Turkey Hill Dairy ice cream maker for a day, including the opportunity to create your own virtual ice cream flavor. We will include lunch here before departing for another interesting stop…Julius Sturgis Pretzel Facility and Bakery. You will be given your own piece of flour and water mixture and taught how to twist a pretzel. The tour includes the original ovens built by Julius Sturgis and the history of pretzel baking in America. This evening we have included a very special Farm to Table Experience at the Mount Hope Estate and Winery. First we will tour the wine production facility, complete with samples and a souvenir. Then, the Chef will source dinner from farms within 50 miles of the estate. The host will guide us through our meal in a gorgeous historic barn. B, L, D
Day 3: After breakfast we depart for the Kreider Dairy Farm for an informative and delightful morning. Experience the sights, sounds and smells of a real, working dairy farm. This tour features a high-tech view of farming, including a drive down the middle of the “Cow Palace” barn on a trolley and a bird’s eye view of the milking carousel where they milk 1700 cows, three times every day. This afternoon we will travel to Nottingham and take the Herr’s Snack Factory Tour! You haven’t lived until you’ve tried a fresh Herr’s Potato Chip hot off the line during this fun and flavorful tour. We will stop by the Visitor’s Center to learn more about the process and the history of this family run facility. Return to the hotel this afternoon to refresh before our final evening of dining and entertainment at the Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre. “Ragtime” is a story set in early twentieth-century New York, where three diverse American families are united by their courage, compassion, and belief in the promise of the future, B, D
