The clues in this historical scavenger hunt are themed around the Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology's many collections. And, since National Treasure-ing is thirsty work, you'll be treated to wines suited to each collection's region. For instance, Panorama (14 N. Front St.) will pour Bianco di Sicilia La Segreta in the Roman Gallery and a Shiffrin Selections Argentinian in the Mesoamerican Gallery.  They'll raffle off prizes, including Southwest Airlines plane tickets; winners at this Young Friends of the Museum event will receive tickets and gift certificates to destinations like the Mann Center, the Philadelphia Zoo, Estia, Rae and more. Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, 3260 South St., 215-898-5093, museum.upenn.edu/wine.

This Sam Adams beer pairing dinner starts with oysters served with the Boston brewery's Cream Stout, followed by a Caesar salad with sweet Cherry Wheat and Cajun rib-eye with Brown Ale. But you'll have to wait till dessert to sample Sam's real star — Utopias. At 52 proof, it's the world's strongest beer; its liqueur-like density should warm up your appetite for chocolate velvet cake. Reservations required. Morton's the Steakhouse, 1411 Walnut St., 215-557-0724, mortons.com.

This annual event will feature a variety of red and seedy snacks, from strawberry fritters and chocolate-dipped strawberries to fresh jam. Period craftspeople, including blacksmiths and glassblowers, will demonstrate their trades and hawk products. Jugglers, stilt walkers and musicians will further fuel the good times. Pedder's Village, Rtes. 202 and 263, Lahaska, 215-794-4000, peddlersvillage.com.

Get your swirl on at this year's Wine & Jazz fest at Longwood. Get the lay of the local land by grubbing on food and sampling vino offerings from Allegro Vineyards, Chaddsford Winery, Crossing Vineyards and many more. Reservations recommended. Longwood Gardens, 1001 Longwood Road, Kennett Square, 610-388-1000, ext. 100, longwoodgardens.org.

Get out there for the first day of the Headhouse Farmers Market. You know the drill — pick up fresh flowers, fruit, cheese, jams, veggies, organic chicken, local honey (it's good for your allergies!), crafts, baked goods, good vibes, etc. The wildly popular market will run through Thanksgiving. Headhouse Shambles, Second and Lombard streets, thefoodtrust.org.
