Deer Creek Winery at Brooks Estate

The Brooks Estate in Shippenville, Pennsylvania is the flagship property of Deer Creek Winery and the heart of where our wines are made. Set on 100 peaceful acres of rolling hills near the Allegheny National Forest in Clarion County, this fifth-generation family homestead has been transformed into a welcoming countryside retreat where guests can celebrate, relax, reconnect, and rejuvenate.

In 2016, we opened The Inn at Deer Creek Winery, becoming the first and only winery in Pennsylvania with an attached bed and breakfast. Five years later, our private family home became The Manor, expanding Brooks Estate into a full destination with 13 private guest rooms, an onsite tasting room, a café open to the public, versatile event spaces, and inviting outdoor gathering areas. Today, Brooks Estate is where every bottle of Deer Creek wine is crafted—and where guests and visitors alike enjoy complimentary tastings, free events, and relaxing spaces with firepits, porches, and patios. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway, hosting a celebration, or simply stopping in for a tasting, Brooks Estate offers a welcoming third space to sip, stay, and reconnect.

comfort, relaxation, & exploration

Brooks Estate Amenities

Every stay at Brooks Estate is designed around three simple things: comfort, relaxation, and connection. Overnight guests are welcomed with a fresh-cooked breakfast, signature mimosas, and a complimentary 4 oz pour of Deer Creek wine — the perfect way to start (or end) the day.

Choose a room with a private in-room therapeutic hot tub for a truly intimate retreat, or step outside and unwind in the shared outdoor hot tub beneath the stars. For the ultimate reset, add our Infrared Sauna & Salt Therapy Experience — a private 30-minute session on the second floor of The Inn featuring Himalayan salt massage balls, warm salt foot blocks, a cozy fireplace, and a refreshing electrolyte drink. It’s wellness, built right into your stay.

Every room is thoughtfully appointed with an electric fireplace, comfortable seating, a table and chairs, mini-fridge, en-suite bathroom, towel warmer, Wi-Fi, TV, and air conditioning — small touches that make a big difference.

Beyond your room, the estate invites you to slow down. Gather around glowing firepits, settle into a rocker on the porch, or claim a spot on one of our patios and outdoor seating areas — a welcoming third space beyond home and work. Our onsite tasting room and café — both open to the public — offer complimentary wine tastings, light bites, free events, and seasonal celebrations in a relaxed, lingering setting where guests, locals, and new friends come together.

Lodging: The Inn & Manor

The Inn & Manor at Brooks Estate offer 13 unique rooms, each designed to give you comfort, charm, and convenience. Every room has it’s own theme, a private bathroom, and six of them feature romantic two‑person jetted tubs—our most sought‑after amenity. Guests can also enjoy fireplaces, complimentary Wi‑Fi, an outdoor hot tub, and easy access to porches, patios, swings, and firepits scattered across the estate.
