Weekend Getaway?
We wanted to do a weekend getaway sort of thing- nothing too crazy, but something fun for a group of 20-somethings. We were thinking of a wine tasting or beer tasting tour. We don't want to do Montauk or AC. Any ideas?

Re: Weekend Getaway?
dogfish head was fantastic..it's in my delaware review-about 4 hours by car in delaware, and since it was off season rates we had 5 of us in a house for 65 each for 2 nights
sam adams in boston was about 3 1/2 hours, and there's tons to do in boston..def more expensive though
philly has yards brewing company..we're going there next summer
there's also a few breweries upstate
magic hat in vermont
troegs is in pennsylvania
can you tell i like breweries? lol
if you do a brewery, make the tour reservations WAY in advance though-they sell out like crazy

Re: Weekend Getaway?
I'd suggest:
Boston, Mass - lots to do, great city, great for 20-30 somethings
Hartford, Conn. if you want a more city/brewery/bar scene OR you can do the conneticut wine trail - 24 vineyards but it's spread throughout - scenic though and you can choose to just visit some in the east or some in the west
Providence, Rhode Island - beautiful place and they have a TON of breweries supposedly.
or what about syracuse, ny? Is that too far? Nearby in Verona, NY they have the Turning Stone Casino/Resort which is really nice.

its a bit of a drive, but worth it. We went to the finger lakes during hurricane irene. Tons of wineries and vineyards. Also a bunch of breweries. And a few places for cheese tasting. A really nice area!!
