IFWTWA Media Trip

Prepare to immerse yourself in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania’s rich history, flavors, and charm. During your visit, you’ll traverse the streets and Civil War battlefield that shaped the course of American history, guided by expert storytellers who bring the past to life. You’ll dine at chef-driven restaurants that highlight seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. To offer deeper insight into the area’s agricultural roots, the experience will also include a trip to one of the oldest wineries in the state and a fourth-generation family farm. On this trip, you’ll discover that this small town has a big story to tell.

In Frederick County, Maryland, museums stand side by side with cocktail bars, and cutting-edge cuisine is plated inside buildings that once echoed with the footsteps of Civil War soldiers. Just an hour from D.C., Baltimore, and Gettysburg, this region blends historic preservation with modern creativity. You can hike a mountain in the morning, sip local wine by afternoon, and catch a show—or a perfectly shaken cocktail—before dinner. From the vibrant streets of Downtown Frederick to the scenic foothills and beyond, this is where small-town warmth meets big-time experience.
