Food & Drink
There’s plenty of fun to harvest along the Wild About Wine Trail, a 15-stop tour of wineries and breweries in Guernsey, Coshocton and Muskingum counties. Ten wineries and five breweries make up the trail, including Y-Bridge Brewing Co. in Zanesville. Head to Georgetown Vineyards in Cambridge to try its American Fredonia or American Cranberry, a sweet wine that is pleasantly tart. The vineyards are part of Georgetown Tavern on the Hill, which serves the wines along with pizzas, caprese salad or bruschetta for a perfect pairing.
At Guernsey Brewhouse in Cambridge, make sure to order the S-Bridge Chocolate Cake Stout or the Sasquatch Cerveza, a refreshing Mexican lager that pays homage to Salt Fork State Park’s famous cryptid. If traditional German brews are more your style, Wooly Pig Farm Brewery features classics such as the Rustic Helles golden lager and the Schwarzbier black lager. (You can also order pork products made at the working farm, including bacon, bratwurst or pork chops, ahead of time and pick up the order when you visit.)
Theo’s Restaurant in downtown Cambridge is a local favorite with roots that reach to 1931. Feast on classics such as hot sliced beef sandwiches served with mashed potatoes and gravy, burgers and daily specials such as house-made cabbage rolls. Don’t leave without a slice (or more) of the restaurant’s house-made pies, which have been on the menu since the start, with flavors such as Dutch apple, cherry or chocolate cream. At Dockside Restaurant at Seneca Lake Marina outside of Cambridge, you can soak in the mix of lakeside vibes and local flavors. During the summer, ribs, brisket and pulled pork are smoked over local fruitwood.
