Wow, it’s hard to keep up with all the new things our local businesses are offering.

I stopped into Driftwood Wine Cellars this week and discovered something I hadn’t seen before, wine slushies in a to-go pouch.

With more than 30 flavors, there seems to be something for everyone. I tried the White Peach and it was refreshing on a hot day.

What surprised me most, though, was the savory aroma when I walked through the door. Their flatbreads smelled amazing. Driftwood also offers cheese boards, cheese bread, chips and salsa, and other light bites, making it a great place to meet a friend for lunch, grab a snack during a wine tour, or relax for an afternoon downtown.

If you haven’t stopped in lately, Driftwood is located right in the heart of downtown North East, just steps from North East's Gibson Park Open Market.

Have you tried one of their slushies? What’s your favorite flavor?

Today I stopped by Julie's Sweet Treats in North East Borough for the first time while supporting Norah’s Waves and their mission of childhood drowning prevention.

This is definitely a local stop I’ll be recommending.

The display cases were packed with chocolate-covered everything. Pretzels, grapes, strawberries, meltaways, and more.

If you have a sweet tooth, it’s worth a stop the next time you’re in North East.

And if you’d like to learn more about the important work Norah’s Waves is doing to help prevent childhood drowning be sure to check them out as well.

Vacation planning is important.

Beach access is important.

Sunsets are important.

But judging by the number of messages I get, coffee might be the most important thing of all. ☕😂

So for anyone wondering:

Both of my cottages have a traditional coffee maker AND a Keurig-style coffee maker.

No matter how you start your morning, I've got you covered. My goal is simple: keep everyone happy, especially before that first cup of coffee.

Now let's settle the debate...

Are you a one-cup-at-a-time person or a full-pot person?

Most visitors know about Presque Isle State Park and the Erie bayfront marinas.

Far fewer discover the town of North East, PA and the North East Marina just east of Erie, PA.

If you love fishing, boating, watching the charter boats come and go, or simply sitting by the water with an ice cream or wine and watching the sunset, the marina is worth a stop during your visit to Lake Erie Wine Country.

I put together a guide covering boat launches, slip rentals, fishing charters, nearby restaurants, and things to do around the marina.

Have you visited the North East Marina? What's your favorite thing to do there?

Read the guide below.

Yesterday our book club met in the old bank vault room at The Skunk & Goat Tavern, and it was the perfect setup for a group discussion.

The room seats about 10 people and gave us enough privacy that we could actually hear each other and have a real conversation without competing with the noise of a restaurant.

If you’re planning a ladies night out, a small birthday gathering, a graduation celebration, or even a book club, it’s a great option to keep in mind.

And the tomato soup? I still don’t know what their secret ingredient is, but I order it every single time I go to Skunk & Goat.

Burch Farms was one of those places I kept hearing about, but somehow had never visited.

After finally stopping in, I can see why so many people recommend it.

What surprised me most was how family-friendly it is. Kids can grab a slushie, giant cookie, cupcake, brownie, or other homemade treat.

Adults can browse the wines, enjoy a tasting, sample a wine slushie, or shop for fresh produce, pies, candles, jams, and other local products.

It feels less like a winery and more like one of those places where you can spend an hour wandering around and somehow leave with a pie, a bottle of wine, and a few things you didn’t plan on buying.

If you’ve never been, their Strawberry Festival is coming up June 27-28. They’ll have strawberry treats, wine tastings, picnic lunches with orchard and lake views, live music, fresh strawberries, and strawberry wine.

Have you been to Burch Farms Country Market and Winery? What’s your favorite thing to get there? 🍓

Need a taste of home?

Want to see today's Lake Erie sunset?

Check the lake conditions before heading out?

Or just watch the boats go by?

The Freeport Beach live camera, just a mile east of our cottages, is streaming 24/7.

On clear days, look closely at the horizon. If you spot buildings across the lake, you're actually seeing Canada!

If you can’t be at the beach today, a few minutes watching Lake Erie might be the next best thing.

Another Lake Erie sunset from the cottages. 🌅

One of the things guests tell us they love most is ending the day by the water and watching the sun disappear over the lake.

Summer dates are still available for June and August.
