The Inn & Spa at Intercourse Village announces its " Fall In Love" Getaway package. Guests staying at this AAA Four Diamond B&B in the heart of Historic Lancaster County, will enjoy a two night stay in a Victorian room, two gourmet breakfast by candlelight, a winery tour and tasting, a hot air balloon ride above the countryside and antiquing - all for $699**.
The Inn & Spa at Intercourse Village has teamed with the US Hot Air Balloon Team, Nissley Vineyards & Winery Estate and Stoudt's Black Angus Antiques Mall to invent the ultimate getaway.
The getaway begins when guests arrive at The Inn & Spa at Intercourse Village. The tranquil and spacious atmosphere of this inn and its surrounding landscapes are sure to deliver instant relaxation. Guests can rest fireside in the parlor or enjoy one of two spacious sitting rooms located on each floor. While most suites have private sitting areas guests looking to mingle will enjoy these Victorian parlors or choose to sit on the porch in the white wicker furnishings while watching the Amish horse and buggies stroll by. For a more peaceful respite, guests may linger in the "Wedding Gardens" where they will be serenaded by the soft sounds of falling water and classical music while sitting under the gazebo.
Guests will awaken to the smell of fresh baked goods as the chef prepares to serve a five-course gourmet candlelight breakfast in the formal Victorian dining room. After breakfast, enjoy a stroll through Kitchen Kettle Village across the street and over 50 shoppes in the village filled with handcrafted quilts and artwork from local artisans.
Later, take a fresh air drive through rolling farmland to Nissley Vineyards.& Winery Estate for a self-guided tour and wine tasting. This stone-arch winery is set near an 18th-century mill and a winding creek. Nissley Vineyards, and it's companion Winery Estate, is located on 300 acres within the fertile Lancaster Valley viticultural area of western Lancaster County -- an area renowned for its rich, well-drained limestone-based soils.
Pick up your favorite bottle of estate-bottled wine (seasonal wine selections are specially priced ) and enjoy your selection as you float above the scenic countryside of Lancaster County in a hot air balloon piloted by a member of the U.S. Hot Air Balloon Team.
"What better way to enjoy the countryside than by soaring above the lush landscape of Lancaster County in a hot air balloon," said Stan, pilot at the U.S Hot Air Balloon Company.
When you return, the innkeepers will be happy to provide recommendations and directions to local restaurants from casual to fine dining.
