Bella Terra Vineyards is a winery, restaurant, and event venue in the small town of Hunker in…read moreWestmoreland County. It sells a variety of dry and sweet wines (e.g., red, white, rose, sparkling, and cider), cocktails, mocktails, and beers. Some vineyards are on the grounds as are many barrels and bottles of wines. The restaurant has both indoor seating and seasonal outdoor seating in lakeside cabanas and winter igloos. It is open for brunch/lunch and dinner. It is a nice setting for daily dining as well as special events such as weddings, bridal and baby showers, and private parties. Furthermore, the website lists activities such as bingo, painting and candle-making classes, live music with dancing, and more. For my husband and me, I made a reservation for lunch in an igloo. Our igloo was large enough to fit eight people and cost $50 plus foods and drinks. A larger "party dome" fits up to 14 people and has a fee of $75. The temperatures outside were very cold, but our igloo was kept warm by an electric fireplace and a zippered door. Throughout our meal, our waitress provided timely and friendly service. The Bistro menu listed shareables (e.g., pretzel sticks and charcuterie board), several smash burgers, several flatbreads, mains (e.g., fish and chips, cajun chicken pasta, and quinoa bowl), several salads, several handhelds (e.g., turkey melt, veggie wrap, and Italian panini), many sides, and a couple of desserts. Prices were moderate. (The menus for Sunday Brunch and a group Gathering differ.) The waitress first brought our Sweet Wine-Cookie Flight (4.5 stars), which consisted of the following pairs: Diamond Reo with Brown Sugar Pop Tart, Sweet Finley with Chocolate Salted Caramel, Riesling with Cookies and Cream, and Rose Cider with Strawberry Crunch. The wine glasses came in a wooden box, which was slightly too small, so I needed several minutes of time to carefully pull each wine glass out of the box. I, however, did enjoy the sweet flavors of the wines and cookies. Next our waitress brought out our shareable and two mains. The Hummus Plate (4.5 stars) consisted of fresh and tasty hummus, feta, olives, top seedz crackers, tomatoes, cucumbers, green and red peppers, carrots, celery, and tzatziki. My main course was Crab Cakes (4 stars) with a substituted side of salad. Two crab cakes were a decent size of 4 ounces each, but I would have preferred more crab meat. I liked the garlic aioli. My husband's main course was the Cali Burger (4 stars) with a side of fries. In a brioche bun, a beef patty was topped with fontina cheese, applewood-smoked bacon (which he would prefer be crispier), avocado, avocado ranch, lettuce, and pickles (which he commented were nicely crunchy and sweet-sour) (no tomato at his request). The total price for the flight, shareable, two mains, and a soda was $98 plus sales tax and tip (plus the earlier $50 fee for the igloo).

I was traveling back from Florida hoping to pull off a surprise evening with my partner and friends, and Janet, Nathan, and their team of great employees went above and beyond to help make it happen. Their kindness and willingness to lean into the moment made what could have been just a nice dinner turn into a really memorable night. The setting is beautiful, relaxed, and welcoming in that effortless way that makes you want to linger a bit longer. The wood fired pizza and other delicious offerings are consistently excellent, and the wines and cocktails are always right on point. If you tend toward drier wines, which can sometimes be a rare find in western Pennsylvania, Nathan is absolutely delivering here. What keeps us coming back though is the people. Janet, Nathan, and the team have created something special, and you feel that from the minute you walk in. Already looking forward to the next visit.

I found this great winery because I'm doing the pour tour and it wasn't that far from an area I was…read morein. I was pleasantly surprised at what a charming and great place it is. It was interesting to be driving in a residential neighborhood and suddenly see vineyards. I bet it is gorgeous in the spring and summer! When I came in, they were pretty busy, but I was greeted immediately. There were a few tables with groups that looked like they were having a blast. One group with quite a spread of snacks and wine (they have had a cute tablecloth on the winery's table) and a couple who were enjoying a bottle of wine and a cooler's worth of snacks they brought on their own. Since I was new to the winery, I decided to try the sample flight. For $8, I was able to sample five different wines. If you purchase three or more bottles, the sampling is free. It was tough to narrow it down to 5 because they had so many intriguing sounding options. I settled on a Saperavi, pinotage, cabernet franc, apple and black raspberry. I really enjoyed each of them, my favorite being their cabernet franc (which is my favorite wine). The Saperavi was a close second, though. You mark your choices on a paper and then your samples are brought to your table. They are in small plastic cups and labeled by number, but you are given a wine glass to actually taste the sample. This was a nice touch because wines can definitely taste different in a glass vs plastic cup. The server spent time with me talking about each wine, the history of the winery, where the grapes are grown (some right on property, most of the others are from somewhere in PA). She also told me they are releasing a new Cabarnet Franc sometime soon which I'm definitely going to check their social media to see when it is released to sample it and hopefully buy a few bottles. I really enjoyed the wines here and my overall experience and will be back!

Not only were the eggs already blown out but a penciled in grid was already on the eggs. Our instructor was the mother/mother-in-law of the winery owners. By no stretch of the imagination are we Martha Stewart but 3 adults and 3 children (ages 8 to 14) had a good time. We were able to purchase flights of wine, glasses, and bottles. All of their wine is bottled in very pretty cobalt blue glass. The winery is off the beaten path. It is located about an hour from downtown Pittsburgh. Directions are very easy ... 51 South then just a couple turns and you are at their front door. Looking forward to returning when there are grapes on the vines.

She answered my questions about the history of the winery, the origin of the grapes and fruit (both local and from the Lake Erie region). I was excited to see they had a cab franc. It is one of my favorites and isn't that common. They had a variety of dry and sweet reds and whites, fruit wines and also sell pre packaged wine skushies (because they don't have a slushie machine on site). Overall a nice variety of wines that were enjoyable. Definitely a place I'd visit again.

Sweet Diamond and dry Riesling from Washington. The wine waitress should have said do the diamond last since it's sweet. We started to try the reds. The Merlot tasted like a traditional Merlot. Noiret was good. Old Vine Zinfandel was super dry and wasn't a fan of it. The Marquette is a wine that I do not sample often . It was fabulous. Aged in bourbon barrels for two years. She asked if I like bourbon and said yes. She said you will like this. She was right . Dry but a good taste towards the end. My two things that I dislike. The white wine isn't chilled. They provide you ice if you prefer. Ice waters up the wine and takes the taste away. The Marquette I purchased a bottle if and it's great. But it's $38 a bottle and around here that doesn't fly.

Vinosky has a ridiculous cost for admission and a table that involves a refund in the form of a giftcard that they can't explain.

Unless they fix their ticketing problems, I'm never trusting my credit card with Vinosky again and recommend that nobody else does either. The food is just either a piece of overpriced cheesecake or a cheese and crackers platter not worth the cos. My reasonable complaint was met with reluctance to even address my concerns in an adult manner and I tried to explain my concerns to the owners who didn't even have the curtesy to reach out. just a shame and I'd stay far away from this place, unless the nice view (which it is) is enough for you offset the limited food options, below-average wine, and very poor and apparently thin-skinned, ineffective and rude management.
