Saturday Wine Market at Tria Fitler Square

Thanks to Governor Tom Wolf signing Act 39 back in June, it opens up wine sales for establishments with restaurant licenses to sell wines to-go.In August, the PLCB started issuing permits for area businesses, including supermarkets and restaurants.

The Tria Cafes recently got a permit and are beginning the sale of their wines. On Saturday, they will begin a “Try It Before You Buy It” program called “Saturday Wine Market” at Tria Fitler Square located at 2227 Pine Street. It won’t be weekly at the start.
