After a long day, visiting Longwood Gardens, I did a U-turn on the way to my hotel when I saw Chaddford Winery. When I arrived, I was the only one there and I knew they were getting ready for a private event in just over an hour. I selected the 2023 carbonic Cabernet Franc, which was a great value at only $10 and I really enjoyed it. It won a sommelier's award as a top 10 Pennsylvania wine. The winery is very cozy with multiple rooms. I sat in a comfortable leather couch and thumbed through a wine book that was on the table while I enjoyed my wine. Employees were friendly and remained busy on work related tasks. read more

My fiancé and I visited here for their adult trick-or-treating event, and overall it was a fun experience! Our tour guide, Melanie, was amazing....super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the visit really enjoyable. The wines, however, were just okay in our opinion. We went through the full lineup with paired treats: Fall Sangria Spritz, The White Standard with Old Bay Kettle Corn, Dry Rosé with Hop & Spicy Cheese Curds, Harbinger with a churro cookie, Good Vibes Only with chocolate hazelnut, and Spiced Apple with a pumpkin spice cake pop. The pairings were cute and seasonal, but the wines themselves didn't wow us. Overall, a fun outing for the atmosphere and the event, but the wines didn't quite live up to the hype. But we did hear of some possible paranormal activity going on...that might bring us back! Overall the experience was fun, but we aren't quite sure if we would return. read more

Nice of you to respond, Laura P., but you either do not know what is happening at your winery or you are intentionally misrepresenting the facts. Your reply is filled with blatant lies to cover up poor management. First, you lied about wine access on the lawn, claiming bottles are regularly available there via servers, the slushie shack, or indoor retail. When I went inside to buy a bottle, the staff explicitly told me I could only buy through a server, but then refused to send a server to the lawn because they do not cover that area. I was told my only option to get a bottle was to sit indoors or on the patio. Second, you lied by claiming the patio-only setup was a temporary adjustment for the Fourth of July due to weather. I visited earlier in June when the weather was spectacular, and the exact same restrictive setup was in place. The music was confined to the patio, forcing guests onto the hot brick to hear it. If you did not want to sit on the patio, your only choice was to sit on the small patch of grass across the dusty stone road from the patio, where we could barely hear anything, or sit inside, where you would not hear the music. This entirely abandons the very large, lush lawn further down the road that you used to utilize by placing the music in front of the house (in the shade). Third, your claim that the setup was changed so people did not have to sit in the hot sun is completely nonsensical and dishonest. That large lawn is surrounded by mature, dense trees, providing deep shade that is at least 10 degrees cooler than your baking brick patio. Your entire response is a series of contradictions designed to discredit real guest experiences. I will not return as long as this current setup is in place, as there are plenty of wineries in our area that are far more consumer-friendly. read more

This is such a great spot to hang out on a nice sunny day! They have some outdoor seating but check ahead if there is an event it will be hard to find a spot but if you can't get as table there is lots of space for set up a folding chair or picnic blanket. I would also recommend on days where there are events to get there right at or just before opening - especially if you don't have a reservation. The staff is so friendly and we didn't have to wait long when we went to the bar to get drinks. The property is really nice. I got the white wine flight and it was really refreshing! I really like that you can bring your own food so we grabbed sandwiches in Kennett and brought them with and then ordered some cheese and crackers there to eat with some honey we brought. Definitely add to your list of places to go this summer! read more

Had a great first visit to this Winery! So glad I got to finally visit Chaddsford for their summer kickoff. They had several food trucks, live music and great vibes. Another bonus was they offered wine flights, not just wine by the glass and bottle and the flights were under $20 which was a great deal. Friendly people and very family friendly make this place a win. read more

Update: The winery has since responded claiming that I reserved tables for 20 people--this is simply incorrect. My actual reservation was for a table of 6 and two separate tables for 2. This is visible on the screenshots I posted. After I sent a message asking to modify the number of guests, THATS when I was informed that this wasnt allowed. To be clear, there were no rules or limitations posted anywhere on their website regarding a limit on how many firepit tables a person can reserve. I'm not sure if that has changed after this incident, but it wasn't posted at the time this incident occurred. Their attempt to twist the facts feels manipulative and frankly, gaslighting. It's one thing to mishandle a reservation--but to misrepresent what actually happened in order to justify abruptly canceling it without my confirmation is unacceptable. This kind of behavior shows a serious lack of integrity and accountability. This experience was not only disappointing--it was disrespectful, especially with the follow-up response. read more

My friends and I stopped here last weekend. It was a rainy day so not a lot of people were sitting outside but the hostess told us we could sit wherever. I ordered the spring flight and the ladies that helped me out lined up the bottles and glasses so I could take a insta worthy pic! They were great sports about it haha. The wine was delicious! We enjoyed our time there and can't wait to come back for an event :) read more

Chaddsford Winery - Spring flight! 2023 - Wineries Near Me - Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania

Stopped in after spending many hours at Longwood Gardens 5 minutes down the road. We were greeted by a cheerful fellow who explained what was on offer. The place is like a rustic upscale barn. We grabbed the couch and comfy chair. There are a couple of wine books to pass the time. My wife enjoyed them. We got a couple of flights a dry Chardonnay varietal, a red blend standard with 90% Marshall Foch 10% Chancellor, and a Merlot varietal. My wife subbed the last with a sweet rose. The white was ok. The red blend was all Foch and we liked it. It is easily distinguishable from most other grapes. It was delicious. The merlot was very dry and I should have had it before the Foch. It was tasty and had good flavors. A nice early afternoon stop. Mark & Nancy. read more

A quaint, homey experience. Think of it as a cross between your favorite neighborhood bar, with elements of a wine bar. Staff was super friendly, and the seating in the tasting room is perfectly cozy for a date or group outing with friends. Really enjoyed the Sparkling White, the Vidal Blanc, the Harbinger and Timing is Everything. The Spiced Apple wines are perfect for the colder months - be prepared for debate as to whether you prefer it chilled or warmed. I also highly recommend this the sangria. It has a very unique flavor - fruity, light, floral, sweet and fruit forward. Perfect for the warmer mont read more

A lovely way to pass a few hours deep in Delco! Or maybe Chester? I don't even know but the area is very lovely and the wine here was even more so. I don't feel the need to do a tour or guided taste testing or anything like that, seen one winery or brewery you've seen them all. But I do enjoy a nice wine flight and wedge of cheese. Especially whilst on a comfy couch. The little bistro area was the perfect and most comfortable setting for enjoying good wine, cheese, and company. I appreciated the hospitality of the staff here. Their apple wine is what keeps me coming back, but everything I tried was great. I really loved the sangria as well. Good cheese, good wine, and a cozy setting...all the trappings of a great afternoon! read more

Recently attended a wine tasting. It was a wine and chocolate pairing. The staff were very knowledgeable and entertaining. It was fun to see how the chocolate would change how the wine tasted. We had a great time! read more

The adult trick or treating was such a great event!

Beautiful winery with great service. All the employees were extremely nice and accommodating. Fell in love with almost all the sweet wines lol.

Wine selection and service was top notch. Fun way to spend the day - the location is lovely.

Enjoyed a tasting on a Friday afternoon. Chaddsford is cozy and inviting with a few different seating areas that include tables, couches and large armchairs. The service was awesome and very friendly. Our expectations were more than met by the wines. We really enjoyed the Vidal Blanc and The Red Standard. I would really recommend checking this place out if you are in the area. I will be making a point to get back here when the weather is nicer and we can enjoy their outdoor spaces. read more

I took my dad to the holiday wine tasting at Chaddsford Winery and had a wonderful time! We had five tastings, some snacks, and got a really thorough overview of all of the wines and how to pair them. After, we grabbed a glass of wine in the main area & had a terrific experience. Everyone was so nice and we had such a fun time. We'll definitely back! read more

Chaddsford Winery - Holiday wine tasting - Wineries Near Me - Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania

Well. ( yawns) so this was my first time going to a winery and I just wasn't impressed. I don't know what I was particularly expecting, I guess I thought I would have some oohs and aahs but nope it was just a mediocre experience of expensive wine in a fairly small building. I came to their chilli and chowder festival and it was packed with so many people. We were able to visit each station and sample two of their wines which were the 17 presage which had flavors of honey, peach apple and pear. We also sampled the 16th standard which had flavors of strawberry and black cherry. The wines were okay and I did heard their ciders were delicious. Overall Chaddsford Winery host many different events throughout the year. If you go out to their back parking lot you can see a beautiful view of ducks in a lake. I'll visit another winery to get a different experience but not sure if I'll be rushing back to Chaddsford. read more

First time visiting this winery. Seated in an isolated tiny room, no atmosphere, no server so we left. Large groups were there but we weren't given the option to be seated amongst other people. Very strange experience to say the least. read more

Chaddsford Winery is about a 45-minute drive from my house but it was well worth the trip. The winery is beautiful and quaint and the staff is very friendly with fast and efficient service. I took my mother wine tasting and we had a fabulous time. It was too cool to sit outside so we opted for the indoor tasting room, which had a relaxed vibe. We went on a week day so we didn't need reservations. We each got a tasting flight -- I had the Something Sweet with Sunset Blush, Sangria and Niagara. My mom did a mixed flight with Traminette, Harbinger and Dry Rose Redux. Although the Something Sweet flight was a little too sweet, the Sunset Blush was perfect and I took a bottle home. Sofia, the wine associate, was very pleasant and took the time to discuss the history of Chaddsford Winery as well as share food pairings for each wine. You can tell she loves her job, is very knowledgeable and contributes to a culture that is intimate and welcoming. I'm looking forward to returning and sampling the Fall Flavors wine flight. read more

We booked the Festive faves wine tasting for our first time visiting the winery! Our guide, River, was knowledgeable and answered so many of our questions about the winemaking process. Both the wines and pairings were well thought out and delicious--we only wish the website specified where each element of the pairings was from because we were on a hunt for them afterwards. read more

Informative and fun wine tasting in the barrel room. Nice pairings and good conversation.

The wines here were a 4, but the service was a 10, so that is why Chaddsford Winery earned itself a 5. I will preface this by saying that we came for a 4:30 wine tasting, which was at the end of the day, so we had the privilege of having the staff to ourselves. Lucy, was our main server, but was more of a concierge. She was unbelievably knowledgeable not only about the wine, but everything it would pair well with. She was great conversation and able to handle all of my friend's off the wall questions. It's a shame she is going to be moving to Portland (which will be perfect for her) but at least they still have amazing staff like Kate who joined us at the end. Wine-wise, we are a fan of reds. The reds for the most part were solid, but standard. The one that stood out was the Harbinger. We could really taste the black cherry with hints of vanilla! My friend bought a bottle. I especially liked theory Apple wine cold (it lost a little flavor warmed) and the holiday sangria (which was excellent warm). I bought bottles of both. As for the whites, we only tried the Presage, but we both loved its refreshing taster of Asian pear and apple. So much so that red-wine loving friend bought a bottle. Lucy and Kate told us of the many events at the winery through the year including "Adult" Trick or Treating, Slushy Fest, Bacon Fest, and jazz and country music festivals. We anticipate coming back many times for these! read more

Eh. This place has potential, but I just wasn't impressed. This was my first time going to a winery so I really wasn't sure what I was getting myself into, but this was pretty underwhelming. The "table service" is just a reserved seat on the patio -- which doesn't overlook anything by the way. On a Saturday afternoon, I expected it to be vibrant, but the ambiance was severely lacking. Wine was just okay also. We really didn't get a history of the winery or anything like that. For all we know, this could've been someone else's wine just rebranded. We saw that many people packed a lunch to come here, which I thought was a little strange. However, I understood when I noticed the winery just resold DiBruno Brothers items at an insane markup on their menu. They have a food truck that comes in, but I want going to spend almost $20 for a personal sized pizza. In all, I was left confused by Chadds Ford Winery. Probably wouldn't come back unless the ambiance and food selections were better. read more

We came here for my best friends 26th birthday back in July and it was absolutely perfect! For a Saturday at about noon, there was plenty of outdoor seating. There happened to be an event happening -- like an adult summer camp with games and wine (an absolute dream!!), the food truck of the day was a crab cake truck that was BOMB and they had the wine popsicles flowing! We brought our own cheese board, birthday cake and few other snacks but they do have some things available at their little snack stand in conjunction with the food trucks! Would totally recommend to a friend and I'll for sure be read more

I love the winery and it's especially beautiful in the fall. Today was my second or third time visiting and my friend and I went for the adult trick or treat event. It was such a nice day and the event was just long enough. We had 5 different tastings and 4 of them were paired with local goods. After the trick or treat tour people were able to have picnics and buy wine by the glass for consumption on the grounds. I bought a couple of bottles to take home. It was the perfect day, I just wish we could have went into the store to browse more wines. read more

Wine slushies. Live music. Outdoor seating. Gorgeous grounds. This is what one can expect on a summer day at this winery out near Longwood Gardens. It's not too far from Philadelphia (less than an hour), but it is still far enough away to give you that feeling of "getting away from the city" for a bit, so that's nice. Before indulging in our wine slushies, my roommate and I purchased tickets -- $7 each for a tasting and keepsake etched wine glass -- and headed inside to the tasting room. On our way in, we passed through the store, which is stocked with some cute wine-gear and plenty of Chaddsford wines. I wasn't a complete stranger to the business before my arrival. I'm a big fan of the Niagara wine and have had a bottle of Sangria sitting on my wine rack at home since my boss gifted it to me for Christmas last year. (It was, however, nice to actually *try* the Sangria..) If you like lighter wines, you'll like this winery. If you're more of a cab, syrah, merlot-type of person, eh. They have some options, but their specialities seem to be the sweeter, more-accessible wines. I really enjoyed the Chaddsford White, as did my roommate, and we both purchased bottles. A new favorite of mine is also the Sunset Blush. I chose that one for my slushie outside and it was deliiiicious. What capped off a great day? When purchasing a few bottles of wine, the lady ringing me up asked if I had a good time. She seemed genuinely interested, too. I just thought that was so nice. Maybe that's something small, but it was really appreciated. I'll be back this fall for their October trick-or-treating event and can't wait! read more

Ok - I preface this review with saying - I absolutely love this place and have loved it for years!! I like the location - the events/festivals that they host during the spring/summer months. The grounds are lovely and the outdoor seating is spacious - especially if you bring your own chair and blanket. I love to do this when live bands are playing. I live in the city, so going out to this countryside retreat that is only 35 minutes away makes me feel that I have taken a lovely day trip hours away. Now onto the wine selections. I usually like to go when there are wine tastings events because the costs are usually below $10/pp. I enjoy tasting all that the winery has to offer. I really enjoy the whit proprietors reserve - one of my favs (if you enjoy a dry white - go for it). The Cab/Merlot mix is great for a red. If you enjoy the sweeter wines - try the niagara and sunset blush. I recommend this as a cool "day date" - what can be better than spending time at a winery with wines that actually taste good. read more

Chaddsford Winery & their crew are always impressing me! From their affordable, delicious wines (and slushees!!!) to the staff's professionalism and kindness during their tours. Corey & his team are always an upmost pleasure to work with. I definitely recommend CFW for any fall day activity or private event. read more

Lovely location, but not so great wine. You can get a partial tasting for $10 or full 11 wine tasting for $15 (although they give a military discount). There was a food truck in front when I visited. But I see this place as more as an events center that makes its own wine than a traditional 'winery'. Why do I say this? While Chaddsford makes wine it doesn't grow their own grapes, which are sourced from PA or its immediate surroundings. As an advocate of the theory that growing good grapes is the most important part of making wine, to me that's quite a no-no. That theory was proven in the tasting. I did the full tasting, and found most of the wines were "Meh". More than a few ended up in the dump bucket. One positive exception was the Blush, which was made with the Stuben grape - quite the novelty for me. I also liked the Holiday Spiced wine made with Concord. When heated up, the Holiday becomes a mulled wine - and without even having to add your own spices. read more

I spent a lovely afternoon here with some friends. We made a reservation for outdoor seating and they allowed us to stay at our table a little longer than we were supposed to. The wines we had were delicious and refreshing. My favorite was the sparkling white. We brought our own glasses to drink from as well as our own food, but there was a food truck near the tables. Our waitress was so kind and extremely knowledgeable of their wines and what they would pair best with. I've been very cautious with dining during Covid, but Chaddsford Winery took every precaution seriously and I felt safe and respected throughout my experience. read more

Visited: Saturday - April 28, 2018 - 1PM BaconFest 2018 First time visit was a truly fun experience. I was directed to park along the perimeter of the winery - parking was a breeze.

I had many fine conversations with fellow-fest attendees. A band played while the sunny, warm, weather enhanced the experience. read more

My wife and I had some friends visiting for a long weekend so we took them to a tasting at Chaddsford. It was really great, a very affordable and informing tasting. The wine is decent, but layout and ambience is amazing. Large and beautiful property. A great place to spend a few hours with family and friends. The staff was very polite and helpful. We decided to buy a bottle and drink it outside on their patio, which was great because they had a fire pits and a heated tent set up. Also had a food truck there with great food options. Very kid friendly, we had two kids under 3 and many other groups had kids with them. Our friends loved it, it was a big hit!! There are also several great restaurants and antique shops right by the winery. Great place to attend an event or spend a afternoon! Highly recommend you try!! read more

I live around he corner from chadds ford winery. I have purchased wine at Christmas for gifts but haven't really enjoyed it for many years. My daughter and I went a few weekends ago and sat for some great music, some nice wine and a cheese plate from the food truck that was there. It was a nice crowd. The music was nice, great sound and not too loud. I like their sangria and the store inside is newly redone and looks great. Weekends they are bringing in food trucks so the food is always changing. Reasonable prices even though it wasn't my favorite cheese. Fun place, relaxing and tasty! read more
