The wine here is delicious! I'm a sweet wine person and these are perfect. We bought a few bottles while visiting but have since have ordered more via mail. Came very quickly. Fasting room helpful. Lovely garden to sit by and enjoy. read more

We ended a summer weekend in Gettysburg with a stop here. It came recommended by some family and friends. My husband and I each ordered a wine flight and shared with each other. They had a great selection and something for everyone, and the staff were very helpful when it came to suggestions. Choosing can be a process so on a busy afternoon the lines can get backed up. Their pizza looked delicious but we brought some snacks of our own to enjoy so we didn't purchase any. There was ample lawn seating and quite a few parties happening when we were there. They had live music playing and it was a great way to end a fun weekend away. We also purchased some bottles to go after our tasting. Their events calendar looked fun and if we lived closer I'd definitely check out some of them! read more

Just went for the first time last week and I am in love! My group did a tour, led by Katey, who was extremely knowledgeable about the wine-making process. She also had a great sense of humor, leading our group and kept spirits up during the wine tasting portion. Even if I didn't personally like some of the sweet wines I tasted, they were all beautifully crafted. If you have a sweet tooth, you need to try the Cotton Candy wine!! It was a 10/10 experience, would definitely do it again! read more

Jordan and the staff were so accommodating and amazing! The wines and foods are delicious. It started raining and Jordan walked me and my friends out of the rain with an umbrella. We will definitely be back! The views are beautiful too. read more

My husband and I love coming here. The entertainment is great and the people are very friendly. We had their delicious pizza.

PROS: Nice place to buy wine or to go wine tasting. Very friendly people here and the wine is very good. They also sell some merchandise. CONS: Very limited seating and the service tends to be slow which causes a long line OVERALL: If you like wine + you come by here = you have to try them out read more

Visted the location in the town of Gettysburg on a Saturday around noon. They are still requiring masks which was a little irritating. They do not offer tastings. Flight prices are high when you can get a glass for about $4 less. Not a huge spot for inside seating. Employees were helpful when we asked for recommendations of other places to go. read more

Great ambiance. Mauve music was just ok but festive. Pizza is excellent, great wine flights. Everyone is really friendly. Great place to wile away a lazy afternoon. read more

Chris was great, Decor was great, mulled wine was amazing, the flights were fab. This is our favorite winery In gettysburg.

Service was not good. We went for a simple wine tasting but just got four samples of the worst wine ever, and told to find a seat. No explanation about the swill we were given, no crackers (had to buy a whole bag) to help between samples. Anyway, the wine should never taste like vinegar so they probably should just throw that stuff away. There are several other winery's near by that were really good. Recommend you skip this one...unless vinegar is your thing. read more

So we were the first to try the Cotton Candy Wine Float. Words can not describe how good this is! I recommend this to everyone! Go check it out! read more

Love all their wine, they have an awesome outdoor space and wood fire pizza. Not much else you could ask for. Sat outside with our dog and enjoyed the sunshine. The employees in the shop were extremely nice and knowledgable. read more

This was my first wine tasting experience! The employee working was so nice and explained why things very well! The wine tasting was great, i liked most of the 8 we tried! We left with one bottle too! The only con would be closing so early. Having to drink wine before 5 pm might not be for everyone and we did rush a but to get there and have time to enjoy it. read more

Really enjoyed my time here! Wine samples were all tasty and the staff was wonderful! Very patient and knowledgeable. Ive been to a lot of wine tastings --- what makes the crackers at this location so delicious ?!? All other 2 people with me were also pleased! Ask to try the chocolate cherry wine! I am afraid I'll never find anything like it and need to buy several cases! Next time I want to spend more time here and sit in the quaint seating area for a bit and try the wine sorbet!! read more

Adams County Winery - a glass of wine and a bottle of wine - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

Amazing winery! We stopped by the shop in downtown Gettysburg and did a wine tasting. My boyfriend doesn't like wine, and he bought 4 bottles of the Rebel Red (it's a bit peppery). I highly recommend the white Tears of Gettysburg, and buy one of their candles in a wine glass. It's been 6 months and it's still burning and smelling amazing in our house. You should also follow them on Instagram as well. It was an amazing wine tasting experience, and between the two of us, we spent over $300 on wine and candles for ourselves and our families as presents. Reasonably priced bottles, for the quality you're getting. read more

Incredible landscaping and such a quaint, comfy spot to hang out. The wine was phenomenal and the food was good too. Definitely was our favorite winery so far. read more

Really unimpressed by the offering here. I am not sure what I was expecting but this was certainly not up to snuff. I won't say it is any worse than other local offerings, because it wasn't, but it certainly at best... was mediocre. Staff was very friendly. And I appreciate complimentary tastings... but maybe sometimes tastings are complimentary for a reason. read more

What a fun experience! They offer a variety of wives to fit everyone's taste. I just love red wine. The customer service during the wine sampling was wonderful. The staff was knowledgeable about their product. They seem to enjoy what they do and lived to share it with the world. The building is decorated nicely and clean. Would recommend this as one of your stops in your tour of wines. read more

Wow!!! What a great experience we had today at the Adams Co Winery in downtown Gettysburg. Ken, the manager, was our wine tasting assistant. We absolutely had a fantastic time with his great personality and he really helped us understand the wines we were experiencing. The wines were phenomenal and it was hard to choose one favorite. We all left with our favorite wine bottle. Highly recommend this winery and will absolutely be going back. Thanks Ken...you were AWESOME!! read more

Beautiful property. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Very accommodating. They had live music on the patio the Sunday afternoon I was there. The wine was fantastic. I saw people bringing food in for a picnic. They have a small menu available. I had the bruschetta. It was good. Definitely worth the drive. You won't be disappointed. read more

Excellent wine. Great customer service. Personable and professional. Visited the winery as well. Taking home quite a few bottles. Will be back for more. read more

While in Gettysburg this weekend my boyfriend and I stopped to restock his wine collection at the Adams County winery stone in town. We already knew what we were going to bring back with us as this is his favorite winery and he restocks the same varietals regularly, but we did do a wine tasting while we were there as well. We started with the riesling (A floral Riesling with subtle honeysuckle and apricot tones, this wine pleases all palates). We both thought it was far too dry as we prefer sweeter rieslings, which this was not. We then tasted the timepiece riesling (A dessert wine yielding intense floral aromas, this Riesling presents tropical characteristics of pineapple and mango followed by pear and honeysuckle.) This was far too sweet in my opinion. We restocked on the Tears of Gettysburg is which our favorite (Double Gold Medal Winner - Our hallmark wine is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year. A distinctively smooth union of Niagara, Vidal, and Seyval.) It is very smooth and not overly sweet. We also restocked on the Rebel Red (Double Gold Medal Winner - Our most popular red wine. This semi-sweet Concord blend has a dry finish.). I do not like reds usually but I love this one-perfectly balanced. We also tasted the Rusty's Red since the gentleman assisting us said the Rebel Red was a new batch and many people were saying Rusty's is sweeter when typically it's the opposite. We agreed-Rusty's was a bit sweeter, described as "red wine is as sweet as its namesake. It is named in honor of the winery's V.I.P. (Very Important Pet), Rusty, the Golden Retriever." We also stocked a couple bottles of that. A case was $162 but you get to become a member of their case club and get a discount on any future purchases. I highly recommend stopping in if you are in Gettysburg. The actual winery is not far and we are planning to go to the actual winery on our next visit. read more

We stopped at this little winery on our way home from a wonderful weekend in Gettysburg, and I am so glad we did! It was an adorable little spot with a nice selection. As the previous reviewer mentioned, they seem to be known for the fruit wine. I bought a bottle of apple and strawberry and loved them both. What I loved most was the little impromptu taste testing we took part in. For one dollar a taste, we were able to sale pretty much everything this winery had to offer. My personal favorite was the Vidal Blanc, and at only a few dollars a bottle I was able to take home a few. The owner of this winery really loves what he does, and is very knowledgable about the product, which made our visit all the more enjoyable. read more

Keeping it simple here: 1) Parking can be a pain to find since it's street parking and this is a tourist area. 2) It's a cute, spacious place. Definitely more spacious than other wineries I've been too. They have a semi-closed off section where you can sit down. 3) Their bathroom was very clean! 4) The wine tastings are great. I'm not sure why the person below had to take a **** on the wine slushies. They were yummy and refreshing on a hot summer day. Who said anything about them being classy? 5) Come, enjoy some wine. Is it the best? No, but it's decent and worth the visit if you're around! read more

Adams County Winery (or better known as Gettysburg Winery) is one of the oldest wineries in Pennsylvania and also voted Best Winery in Gettysburg. With that said, Adams County has created some of the best wines that I have ever tasted, three are in fact my all-time favorites: Tears of Gettysburg (Vidal, Seyval and Niagara), Rebel Red (Concord blend), and Black Magic (100% blackberry wine). Yankee Blue (100% blueberry wine) and also the President's Choice Moscato are wonderful too, however, they tend to be very sweet and there are some other wines from different wineries that I prefer over those two, but the other three will never be able to be replaced. Believe it or not, I have actually never been to their farm where the wine is made but I am a frequent visitor of their Wine Shop at 25C on Chambersburg Street in Gettysburg. This is where they have a small tasting room, wine and cheese for sale and a few small tables for you to enjoy yourself. Notes: First Friday of the month from 4:00PM through 8:00PM they have drink specials. Fourth Thursday of every month they have a "read between the lines book club" at 6:30PM. read more

Stopped by the other day for a wine tasting. It's a given that the wine is sweet - we're talking about Central PA, after all. I thought the wine was pretty good, but what I really loved was the atmosphere. Buying a bottle to drink on the deck was definitely worth it. Very relaxing. I was a little thrown off by the dogs inside.. I'm a dog owner and a dog lover, but I thought it was strange that there would be little yippy dogs around during a wine tasting. Maybe it was a special event? read more

Delightful servers at the wine tasting counter. I have been to several wineries in the area, this one is the friendliest and excels in customer service. We enjoyed the music, the setting and the wine. read more

See all

I love wine - and I am unashamed to say it. My friend raved about this place, so several years ago, I decided to pop into the retail location at 25C. I was treated to a free tasting, and I was hooked. Everything I tried, I really liked. That is very uncommon. I have since frequented the winery operations in Orrtana, and it is so interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes. I have several favorites, because it depends on my mood and I love so many. My latest craze is Stray Cat Strut, which has a beautiful golden hue, a delightful bouquet, and a wonderful taste that goes with everything. I love Presidents Choice for sipping for no other reason than to sip (both of these are whites), and my favorite red is Rusty's, even though I believe most people love Rebel Red, I am still a Rusty's girl. And speaking of Rusty's - Rusty is the owner's golden retriever and he is gorgeous and friendly, and can often be found wondering around their space in Orrtana. I cannot say enough about the quality of these wines, and also of the staff. Always friendly and knowledgable. And the owners treat their customers so well. The prices are low to begin with, but I am a member of the "Barrel Tasters Club," a discount program when buying cases - believe me, I save a lot of money this way, and a bottle of Tears of Gettysburg makes an excellent gift, so I buy often. There's a bunch of events and parties, and summer concerts..so many offerings. Check them out!! read more

Have purchased from this business for the last 8-10? years and it is shipped to the west coast. Purchased 12 bottles stacked 4 tiers high and 3 bottles each tier. The usual wine shipment paperboard bottle fitting is used on all 4 tiers. This is form fitting for the bottle. The bottom 2 tiers were ok. Tier # 3 had 2 bottles rolling around on the 3rd bottle. The top tier again had 2 bottles unsecured and on top of that 4th tier was loose bubble wrap about 1 inch thickness. Above that bubble rap was about a 3 inch gap on top with no peanuts, bubble wrap or wadded newspaper. This gap on the top allowed the bottles to move. Fortunately, no bottles were broken. Called the Winery to complain and was basically told it's a busy time of year. They did apologize. read more

We really enjoyed stopping into Adams County Winery. The woman who poured our tastings was so kind and informative. We spoke with her for a while. She was very proud of the company and was a huge supporter of their wines. We loved the chocolate and Scrapple wines and were happy to hear that we could purchase them closer to home (especially because the Scrapple wine would be a good Christmas party gift). read more

This review actually references the winery in Ottarra, not the tasting room in Gettysburg. We stopped here as part of the Mason Dixon Wine Trail's Tour de Tanks. It's a cute little location with some nice views. The staff was very friendly and engaging, and the wines were good, a few were very good. We got a tour and some snacks as a part of our tour tickets, and both were basic, but very nice. Overall, a really cute place, and we would definitely go back. read more

Did not look at any previous reviews. Went in there during the week of Apple Fest. We walked in. We were not ignored. We had someone to explain the wine from a list that we received based on the taste of wine we like. We like red with a little of sweetness to it but not too sweet. Given that information and the pleasant experience and knowledge, we rated that a better experience and warm welcome than the other winery that was up the street, umm Reid's the lady there was not friendly at all. This was the better choice. And we are very critical. The sweet spicy wine was my favorite gets better after every taste. read more

Friendly Service, helpful hints, and generous free samples. Not necessarily the highest end wines, however the products are quality and offered at affordable prices. You can pick up a very decent bottle for 12-16$. Many of the offerings are in fact, also unique to the area. They offer a wide variety of fruit wines, I would suggest you check out a sample of the Scrapple Wine, not made of scrapple! It's actually an acronym for Sweet CRanberry APPLE. Cranberry Apple Wine? Okay not traditional in the least, but quite tasty and very unique. I personally love to buy a couple bottles of the local brew whenever I go to these small vintners- if you love exploring local wines- I don't think you will be disappointed stopping by this winery/shop. read more

I visited PA in July for family. This was the first winery we visited. Going into it, I had a pretty open mind, hadn't tasted PA wine. I received a disclaimer from my family that Adam's is very sweet. I usually prefer dryer wines, but I can appreciate sweet wines as well. From the minute we walked in, we received poor service. Maybe it was a busy day. But the assistant manager, who conducted the tastings took awhile to even acknowledge us. I look a lot younger than I am (I'm 26). She took my I.D. to their backroom to Google if I had a legitimate license. Okay, reasonable, but a little weird. Their map showed that they had people from Arizona before, I doubt that it was the first time she had seen an Arizona I.D. I did the standard tasting and she explained that we could purchase more tastings if we needed to. I marked down the tastings, wasn't immediately thrilled by any of the wines. I told her that I did prefer dryer wines. She didn't explain any of the flavor profiles for the wines and the listed descriptions on the menu were short and generic. She basically just stood there and told me it was sweet or not as sweet. If that wasn't bad enough, she only gave me four of the six tastings and refused to let me buy more tastes. I had not been drinking prior to arriving and was very sober. At the end of the tasting, she was staring me down to purchase a bottle. Maybe she needs customer service training or maybe she had a vendetta against me, lol. I hope the other staff are better and that perhaps she has moved on by now (this happened 3 months ago in July). The tours might be better, I wasn't interested in one after the tasting experience. Would not recommend. read more

The facility is a bit hodge-podgy but the staff are all friendly and knowledgeable and they had some unique wines for a great price. I brought my sister and her bf, both had never been to a vineyard before nor are they big wine drinkers but they had a great time! The girl conducting our tasting was very knowledgable and down-to-earth so my sister and her bf felt comfortable asking even the simplest of questions. I have never tasted a wine made from concord grapes so that was interesting, like drinking alcoholic grape koolaide! I'm not a huge fan of whites but they had a good selection of whites that were very tasty and great for the summer. If we are in the area again, we will return. read more

Adams County Winery was an overall nice experience. Their wines were all creatively different and delicious. I bought The Stray Cat, Moscato, Tank 40, and Scrapple. The staff was friendly and helpful with our wine tasting. I highly recommend this winery. read more

My husband and I enjoy visiting wineries to taste the wines and to hear the stories from the winery owners or shop owners. Listening to why they make the wine or sell the wine is always interesting. We have been to many in our immediate area and always return to Adams county winery or the store in town. We have visited the winery on two occasions. Once to make wine as our daughter gifted us the experience. Enjoyable but we prefer the wine shop in town. Not as many people tasting when we go to the wine store. We prefer the smaller crowd and the very personal and undivided attention we receive. The people pouring the wine are always friendly and are very willing to explain the different wines. They don't mind questions and are most attentive. We take our girls for special celebrations and more often just for a nice long drive to Gettysburg. All four of us have very different tastes and our wine choices differ depending on the batch. However, the Rebel Red is my absolute favorite and although last years batch was a bit different, we still came home with two cases of wine. Mostly Rebel Red. We are Members of the barrel club. Would highly recommend tasting all wines at Adams. They have enough of a selection that anyone's taste will surely be covered. From stray cat to tears of Gettysburg to rebel red to presidents choice there is a wine for everybody. If you have time, buy some cheese and crackers and a bottle of wine and sit in the little seating area. My girls who are young adults prefer the black magic. It's a bit sweet for us but it is yummy if you like the sweeter wines. They have mulled wine they sell by the glass which is perfect in the colder weather. Nice place to sit and catch up with friends and family and to enjoy really tasty wine. We never return home without a case or two or three. Hmmm. I think our Rebel Red bottles need replacing. Adams here we come. read more

The store front is cute and good service. The wine is just ok. My tastes have changed over the years and I don't enjoy sweet wines like I used to. If you are someone who does enjoy sweet wine, you may like this place more than I did. There were one or 2 wines that were ok, but I can buy wines I like much better elsewhere that are cheaper! read more

Wine here is slightly sweet for my taste, but service was good.

visited downtown gettysburg and stopped in here on labor day. the clerk, connie was very friendly and gave us a great, free tasting. the entire store smells like concord grapes because they make candles from their own grape juice in the basement of the store! we purchased the reisling (not overly sweet, delicious) and the rebel red. will definitely be back to this place. both bottles were $13-$15 -- pretty good. read more
