Old York Cellars Launches the "MIDFIELD" Summer Celebration

(RINGOES, NJ) -- For generations, the historic Old York Road connected travelers, merchants, diplomats and cultures on the journey between Philadelphia and New York. Long before it was a paved route, Old York Road began as an ancient network of Lenni Lenape trails, eventually forged by colonists into a critical "King's Highway". For generations, this high-stakes corridor carried the weight of the nation, acting as a vital strategic highway for General George Washington's troops during the American Revolution and serving as the premier overland stagecoach route connecting Philadelphia and New York. Inspired by that legacy, Old York Cellars continues that tradition of connection through wine, food, and welcoming hospitality.
