Wine Country has to offer, to executive teams seeking a corporate retreat destination for strategic planning, to wedding planners in search of the perfect black canvas on which to paint their vision, the Manor’s secluded but convenient location offers something very special,” said Gary Murray at Blue Bell, Pennsylvania-based Hurray Brands, which represents the property.

Room rates range from $199 a night to $495 a night for the President’s Room, which includes a sitting room with a baby grand piano.
