a Word from our guests

  • Amazing! Our favorite spot. Delicious wine, food, atmosphere! Always an enjoyable time.
    – Emilee S.
  • The absolute cutest spot! Visit the winery and cafe or stay on the grounds at the adorable, simplistic bed and breakfast! They offer a free wine pour, free breakfast and a mimosa with your stay. The bed and breakfast sits on farm land — so relaxing to have a glass of wine by the fire pit and gaze off to the distance. It’s only about an hour from Pittsburgh — I would absolutely recommend checking this place out! The place is full of charm, really good wine and nostalgia!
