Itinerary

Stop 1

This meadery takes inspiration from ancient brewing techniques, crafting honey-based wines that harken back to the days of the battlefield. Each sip carries the taste of locally sourced honey, fermented with the same patience and care as the soldiers who once waited for battle. Raise a glass and toast to history with a drink that predates even the Civil War itself.
Stop 2

17 min

Under the shadow of Gettysburg’s historic trees, this craft brewery produces bold, history-infused ales that tell the stories of those who stood before us. Their oak-aged stouts and smoked porters pay homage to the lingering echoes of the battlefield. Drinking here is like stepping back in time, with every pint a tribute to the past.
Shriver House Museum

17 min

While the museum tells the tragic story of the Shriver family and their wartime struggles, it also offers a glimpse into the Civil War-era tavern culture. The Shrivers once operated a saloon in their basement, where locals gathered over strong spirits and whispered about the war. Today, the legacy of Gettysburg’s drinking past is honored in every sip of whiskey and ale across the town.
J&P Winery

Nestled in the heart of Gettysburg, J&P Winery offers a taste of Pennsylvania’s rich winemaking tradition with a modern twist. From bold reds to sweet fruit wines, each glass is a reminder that even in a town marked by war, there is still room for celebration. Whether you prefer a dry merlot or a refreshing peach wine, this is the perfect stop for a toast to history.

Crafted from local orchards that have witnessed centuries of change, Ploughman’s ciders capture the essence of Pennsylvania’s apple-growing heritage. Their small-batch blends range from crisp and refreshing to deep and complex, offering a taste of the region’s terroir. Drinking a glass here is like sipping on history, one apple at a time.
Stop 6

17 min

The heart of Gettysburg, Lincoln Square has long been a gathering place where stories—and drinks—flow freely. From historic taverns once frequented by soldiers to modern-day breweries and wineries, the square offers a perfect blend of old and new. Raise a glass in the same streets where Lincoln once walked, and let history soak into every sip.
