What do you get when you put together a 200-year-old estate (less than a mile from the spot where Washington made his historic crossing of the Delaware), a young, talented winemaker, and sustainable practices? Crossing Vineyards<\/a> (1853 Wrightstown Road, 215.493.6500), the family-run vineyard that has been rapidly making a name for itself with its delicious, award-winning wines.<\/p>\n
