Since I live in Philadelphia, and my friend lives in Bridgewater, we decided to meet in a place that was equidistant from both of us. Luckily that place is the super cute and quaint New Hope, Pennsylvania. The forecast called for a lot of rain and I knew nothing of new Hope and what restaurants were good, so I suggested we meet up at the ferry market so that we would have some options as to what we would want to eat. Plus, I'm a big wine enthusiast, and I saw that there was a winery in the market as well.
Is the winery didn't open until 12, and we got there at 11, we took a lap around to see what food was available. There was a good mix of cuisine, though at 11, not everything was open. We ended up being intrigued by the creative options for pizza at Playlist Pizza and Panini. We ordered the #4 Girls Just Wanna Have Carbs Pizza
(Homemade BBQ sauce, grilled chicken, sliced red onions, pineapple, cheddar cheese) and the #9 Time After Thai Pizza (Spicy peanut sauce, grilled chicken, shredded carrots, shredded mozzarella, topped with cilantro and chopped peanuts). I wasn't a huge fan of the bbq sauce on #4, and wished there was more chicken and pineapple. The #9 was my favorite and made a nice fusion between Italian and Thai. After a few slices each, we packed away the rest for leftovers, and walked over to the winery, which was now open.
Unionville winery is located in New Jersey, but they have a tasting room in The Ferry Market. Though they don't have a wine tasting, I will let you try any of the wines you want for free! I decided to try all of the reds available, and one of the whites and the rosé. It's funny how I am definitely more of a red wine person, but when I visit wineries, the wine I usually like the most is one of the whites. At Unionville, my favorite wine was the Riesling and the rosé. Both were refreshing, and not too sweet. I ended up with a glass of the riesling and bought a bottle of both. The guy working the counter also recommended that I get a white chocolate sea salt truffle from the chocolate purveyor across the way. That truffle paired perfectly with my riesling!
If you are in New Hope on a rainy day, this is definitely a place to check out!
