First stop on our wine tastings in the Poconos. Awesome winery! Really nice owner. Talked to us for a while and was so knowledgeable. Wines were ok. Bought a bottle to take back to the room. read more

Underrated spot deserving a huge shout out! Dominik was very welcoming. We felt connected in a way as we were all from Brooklyn. From barista to kitchen, Dominik took care of us with essence. We decided to chill by the picnic area. The vibes were very calming yet comfortable. We sipped several glasses of wine, munched on a simple cheese plate along with garlic toast, then finishing off our ever endless convos nibbling on rich red wine fudge... surrounded by scenic views. You can actually see the production factory inside. Dominik says that you can see them in action during the fall. Hope to be back again for another visit then. P.s their jade plant is so beautiful! read more

A little off the beaten path, Big Creek maintains a friendly and inviting family run atmosphere. The owner /winemaker is very personable and happy to talk through his different creations. They also offer a nice selection of small plates that can be shared as you enjoy your wine selections. The offerings here come from varietals that are suited to grow in Pennsylvania and cooler weather environments. As a result, you're going to get some flavor profiles and tastes that are a little more unique than other PA wineries that import their grapes and the end results might be a little different than some guests are used to. I find the dry reds to be Big Creek's strongest options. Bold and assertive, his wines go best with grilled meats and red sauce pasta dishes. Overall, I would say Big Creek Vineyard is a great little winery to visit if you're in the area . read more

This is a delightful stop in the Poconos. A little off the path, but worth the stop. This beautiful, warm, inviting interior is a great place to take in some nice wine and a generous cheese platter. The staff is engaging and welcoming. You will want to finish up with some of their chocolate fudge....mmmmm. We shared a cheese platter and fresh bread with olive oil along side our glasses of Moonlight White and Frontenac Red. read more

Great wine. Great view. Wednesday they have a charcuterie board with wine tasting. Most do !!!

Amazing wines, super affordable and the owners are so willing to chat about the wines. Such a beautiful building and the grounds are also so beautiful. Overall such a great experience! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. We had a big group of about ten people come in and one of the two owners took care of us so well. She gave recommendations for everyone and helped us pick our wines to taste. She even made delicious mock tails (pictured) for two of our party who don't drink alcohol but wanted to celebrate with us. The owners were kind, funny, and genuinely helpful. If we were locals, this would be our go to place. Even just the place itself was really cool - looked like an old church building converted into the winery. 10/10 recommend any day for a chill bar/winery experience. read more

Love this vineyard! We came around noon on Sunday and it was very quiet. There was 8 of us and we ended up doing a tasting of all the wines they had in stock (about 7 different types.) Millie, the matriarch of the family, was the one that served us the tasting and gave us the background of each wine. She is very down to earth in a no nonsense type of way. Her biggest take away was that everyone's palate is different and just enjoy whatever wine you enjoy. Later on, one of her granddaughter and her son joined our group. Her son, Dominick , is the wine maker so we chatted with him on the wine making process. Overall, this was a great experience. It didn't have the big commercial feeling that some vineyards in the area have with outdoor seating and live music. This is a more laid back and quieter experience. Tip: Use Waze instead of Google Maps. Went with 3 cars and 2 cars used Google maps and got lost. I used Waze and got their perfectly fine. The road that goes to this place is a dirt road that goes uphill. It's easy to miss. They do not accept buses or limos. read more

Third and final stop of the day. So glad we did. The gentleman who owns this winery, and the one who served us our tasting, was so kind and genuine. The wine was good and very reasonably priced. The open-spaced building is cool and includes a view of the surrounding vineyard. read more

Don't be afraid to enter the gravel drive and find your way to the parking area in the back. Well worth the drive. Staff was super friendly and knowledable. Wine was fantastic. So glad we went with our gut and ventured to their winery. read more

Please go and visit this lovely family. The owner, Grandma Millie made this experience so much more memorable with her charm and grace. Her son, the vintner, was also there who regaled us with how the grapes were grown, when the harvest was, and other interesting facts about their vineyard. My son loved asking all kinds of questions, which he didn't mind answering! We came to this particular vineyard because of the amazingly written website by Grandma Millie's granddaughter. So we had to come check this place out and see what made it so awesome. The area was wide open, and they allowed outside food, which suited our party of 8 just fine. Even our grandma in her wheelchair was able to navigate the grass in her scooter. The kids played and ran around while we sipped spectacular wine! Let's get to the wine. It tastes as it is described. No funny notes or unexpected tannins. What Dominic the vintner described, is what I got. So we were pleased by the smoothness and less acidic taste. Oh, and their cute little cheese plate made with Amish cheese needs it's own little description on the website! How good to support local businesses! If we are ever in Pennsylvania again, we will definitely be back to stock up again. Not sure how long our 14 bottles will last us, but I have a good feeling we will return for the pleasure of this experience! Thanks again! read more

This winery is a small family run place that is worth your stop. We didn't notice it on the trail before, but we are happy we stopped in. They don't have outside seating; which would be great considering their beautiful landscape. The wine is relatively cheaper than other wineries in the area, but the quality is up there with the rest of the wineries. We came in on a Friday afternoon, and we were greeted by the owners mother. She told us the entire family story, and how they ended up in the wine business. Very pleasant and unique experience. She mentioned they don't permit bachelorette parties because of their rowdiness. I appreciated that, because I had a terribly loud expriance in other wineries. I will definitely be back, and I recommend this place to others looking for a more personalized experience. read more

The owner waa lovely and knowledgeable. His wines are godd and his stories are delightful.

One of the best kept secret. The staff was very accommodating and hospitable. It's a family own winery on 87 acres of beautiful land. It will be one of our go to spot for now own. I have a liking for all the staff but my favorite person is the mom Mrs. Millie. The wine is excellent and the conversation was even better. What a hidden gem. Anyone that write a bad review must have had a bad day. read more

Came here yesterday after our planned trip to Jim Thorpe, PA was cut short due to the inclement weather. What a great alternate plan indeed! The lady at the counter was very helpful and knowledgeable about the wines. We never felt rushed throughout the tasting and learned a lot about the wines itself, the winery and the family that owns and runs the operation. After tasting almost all the wines, we decided on getting a few bottles of the Moonlight White (a semi sweet table white) & the Vin De Pasqualina (their wonderful Rosè). We also ended up getting a glass each of the Moonlight White and a cheese plate to enjoy after the tasting. That cheese plate was huge and absolutely delicious! 3 kinds of cheese, crackers, olives, dates, walnuts and dried apricots - all for $5! I can't wait to come back here again the next time I'm in the area. I definitely recommend this winery to anyone doing the Lehigh Valley Wine Trail and the Pocono Wine Trail! read more

Big Creek Vineyard - Enjoying our wine and the beautiful view! - Wineries Near Me - Kunkletown, Pennsylvania

What a delight. In the midst of a pandemic what more could you want than the peace, beauty and tastebud-tickling that comes with wine tasting on a sprawling, bountiful vineyard. Perfectly roasted peppers made by the Sicilian grandmother we all wish we had, paired with the bright notes of Big Creek's Moonlight White, progeny of Cayuga grapes, yield a blissful and lazily rich summer afternoon. Don't hesitate, just go. And enjoy your social distancing. read more

I was first introduced to this winery when they needed help with bees. Since then it has become our favorite winery within driving distance. The owner and his mom are both PhD's and know a little bit about winemaking. The white wines and the reds are both wonderful. read more

The woman behind the counter was so nice and helpful! And the wine was very good, highly recommend!

Had a great visit today to Big Creek Vineyard in Kresgeville, PA. Dominick was our tasting aficionado, very informative and fun to spend time with! Of course we left with a case to enjoy at home! read more

Big Creek Winery is hands down, the BEST winery in the area. Dominic truly cares about the customers and is extremely knowledgeable about wine making. He has taught wine makers in the area his process because he looks to help others be successful too. Dominic treats his employees very well- and To me, that is worth a lot. The setting is beautiful and I will tell everyone I know to go to Big Creek Vineyards. read more

I thought the wines were some of the most flavorful that I've sampled at a vineyard, and I particularly enjoyed the dry reds. We received nine samples for free, which is unheard-of on Long Island. My rating for the wines themselves is closer to 4.5 stars. Also, the staff members were quite friendly and well-versed in the wines; I enjoyed the ma 'n pa element and the family-run component. My rating is average because the space seems heavily underused. The interior is cozy and welcoming; the exterior offers stunning natural beauty. Why not allow customers to buy glasses of wine and snacks so that they can stay and relax for awhile? Perhaps that is not the norm in this area, but I was looking for more of an experience, especially with the charming, bucolic setting. read more

After calling for directions several times (due to recent rural address changes in this area which GPS isn't handling), we arrived very near closing time and were warmly greeted by an obviously tired-from-working-all-day vintner by the name of Dominic. Dominic took the time to discuss his wines, vines, equipment, and process with us and seemed to enjoy it as much as we did. What an enjoyable evening!! Thanks for the great wine and increasing the knowledge of an amateur winemaker!! read more

Nice ending to a great day with friends. Love the Apple Spice wine and the Regent! Owners were super nice and willing to give background on all the wines. read more

I recently purchased wine from here as my wedding favors. I worked with Dominic to create unique,custom labels. Everything turned out even better then we had hoped. The wine is wonderful, and the staff warm, friendly, and endlessly helpful. I wish i lived closer so I could visit more often. read more

What a great time! Gent behind the bar was very informative. Quiet and personal feeling. Recommended

Mean. Nasty. Don't attempt to call with questions about the winery. They will attack and belittle you over the phone.

Horrible service. We came here as part of a bachelorette party. We had a driver all day to make sure no one was driving on their own. The second we got in the man behind the bar refused to serve us because his opinion was that we had had too much to drink. Even if we had, we were equipped with a designated driver to make sure we were safe getting home. We used the bathroom and left. A waste of a 20 min drive. I would recommend the Mountain View winery over any other winery in the area, especially this piece of shit. Don't worry stopping by this place because they will be sure to treat you with disrespect and refuse you if you've had ANY other drinks during the day. read more

Walked on the women seemed she didnt want us there, yet there was no one there. We tried one wine and left. It didn't taste good and she didn't let us feel welcomed so we left. read more

What a wonderful experience. Dominic couldn't be friendlier, with so much knowledge about wine, winemaking and life. Beautiful space and grounds. The wine was also really delicious. read more

I love this winery. Its a smaller mom and pop establishment which has managed to create a delicate balance in all its wines. Very friendly staff who explain the grapes used, what the wines pair with, and how they are made. None of the wines are overly sweet, including those labeled as sweet. Good thing for me because when I drink wine, I don't want a glass of Welches grape juice with alcohol in it!. I eagerly look forward to opening the bottle of La Brusca I bought. The nose was extremely sweet but the palate was tart and almost sour, but sour in a good way. I was advised that the La Brusca was a good Sangria base. I'm also dieing to open the Vin Di Pasqualina. It was a pretty pink color with a finish of watermelon. The Dulcinea (tasted but not bought), listed as sweet, but again, nothing was overly sweet at the winery, had a very smooth finish with a hint of caramel on the palate. Great prices, 4 bottles cost $38 read more
