Most PA vineyards and "winery's" are a lot like the proliferation of micro breweries - all the same and all not so great. Certainly there are exceptions. Cellar beast is taking a different approach - bringing west coast grapes to PA and making some spectacular wine. We did the Barrel Surf with the head winemaker, Matt Check. It was great. Matt explained everything about the tasting process for the day and his approach to wine making. Super fun for any foodie and wine lover.

The establishment is open with a mellow atmosphere. Even in its sparseness, the winehouse exudes a tone of relaxation. Although I have liked a glass of wine on occasion from one of Pennsylvania's many wineries, it's clear that the bulk are either watered down or are equivalent to grape juice. But Cellar Beast does everything right. EVERYTHING. The wines are robust with unique flavors. They are far from sweet or weak. The event I took part in came with a wine pairing for each reading. The wines were sensational -- and memorable. My girlfriend and I cannot wait to visit again. If you want a quality wine tasting experience visit the Beast and enjoy the best.

It is located on top of a mountain and the scenery is absolutely beautiful. I came during the winter and it still looks stunning. I can only imagine how it would be in the summertime. I've been to Napa valley and I would say this rivals the beauty of some of the wineries in Napa. Save your flight money and just come to Pennsylvania to this winery. My wife and I had a tasting and some wines. I liked better than others but that's usually how it is at every winery. I really enjoyed two out of the five wines that I tasted so I bought a bottle of the wine that I loved and I ordered a glass of the wine that I liked. The woman who poured my wine was very knowledgeable and seemed to be really into the wine. She also mentioned that she was a cousin to the owner so it really gave me family vibes in this establishment. They also had a separate cheese company putting together cheese plates. So we definitely ordered that as well. This winery has a couple of goods for sale, potatoes, t-shirts, and tchotchkes. I definitely bought a bag of potatoes that is grown on the farm and they were delicious. Inside the winery there was a very cool vibe with a lot of people having tastings. Everybody was in good spirits. Did I mention that the views are spectacular while you're drinking. We couldn't drink outside because it was so cold but I would definitely love to come during the nicer months weather wise. I have zero complaints with this winery and I cannot wait to come back.

I live next to many wineries and have not seen this at any others. Overall highly recommend! They even had live music and special glasses for Easter!

I really give 5 stars because of the service, the chill and open space/atmosphere. We tried a flight of wine and a few cocktails. Some of the wines I didn't really care for but some were great. The spiced apple wine hands down was the winner. We took home 2 bottles of it. The prices were very reasonable, I think we paid $15 for a bottle. We came back after walking around and trying a few other places. We will absolutely back if/when we come back to Jim Thorpe!

My husband and I tried the two reds they had and enjoyed them both. I really liked the local art work on display and the layout is good for couples up to medium sized groups. The lady who served us was so easy going, it is worth mentioning again how great the staff is. Their tasting bar area can get packed; so we found an opening and she served us right away and said we could go ahead an find an empty table, that she trusted we would come back to settle our bill when we were ready to leave. We were pleasantly surprised and purchased a bottle of red not only because we enjoyed it, but because we wanted to repay the kindness and trust extended. Thanks for a great experience!

I liked the option of trying the wines without having to purchase a flight. After a day of fun I decided on a bottle of sweet reds.
