I tried their new Traminette wine which I really loved. It had the most amazing floral aroma, citrus notes, and a bitter finish that reminded me of an ale. We were also treated to an amazing spread by @thecheesequeenpgh , pizza and sandwiches by @owenpucel , and a fantastic tour by owners Rich and Janelle. I, obviously a beer girl, learned SO much about wine this visit. What makes this spot unique is that they grown their own grapes . I can also tell that the love and care these great people put into their family business makes it very special place as well.

I also liked the fact that there wasn't any high pressure wine sales going on; they were very cool about the whole affair. As for the wine, I was mainly drinking beer from our group's private stash, but a number of group's members had some and said that it was very good. All things considered, I'd gladly attend another event here any day.

Mingo Creek Cellars is a local, family-owned winery that opened in 2024. It is located on land that…read morewas part of the Mingo Creek settlement during the Whiskey Rebellion in the 1790s. The winery uses California grapes and other, locally-sourced fruits and traditional winemaking techniques to produce small-batch, handcrafted wines. They sell their wines through their website, at a couple local businesses, and at some farmers markets and festivals. I first encountered Mingo Creek Cellars several months ago when the owner, who is one of the very best review writers on Yelp, kindly gifted me a bottle of sangria. As he released more wines, I had to try more! In recent months, I purchased three other wines: Blushberry, sweet strawberry-apple; McFarlane's Blueberry Battalion, sweet blueberry and named after Major McFarlane who fought in the American Revolutionary War and the Whiskey Rebellion; and Blackpaw Treaty, a semi-sweet blackberry cabernet named after the secret agreement. I loved all of these wines! Mingo Creek Cellars currently sells many other wines: Cavalier Cab, a dry red cabernet sauvignon; Bradford's Blaze, a dry syrah; Whispers of the Hill, petite sirah; Militia Whisperer, Gewürztraminer; Rebel Scout, a dry riesling; Forbidden Flame, a semi-sweet with raspberry and dragonfruit.

However after being told we could have outside food on the hill from hell, we were RUDELY told by the wait staff that delivered the food we "ordered" that we could not have outside food... WELL where I come from if you are spending $400 at an establishment regardless of your undefined rules I would at least be respectful!! I waitressed and was a bartender for 10 years and managed a bar/restaurant for 3 years and I will be the first to say it's not the best most ideal situation dealing with the public BUT I can say I was always respectful and understanding of both sides of a situation SOOOOO to the waitress that disrespected my party which was a bachelorette party you my dear are AWFUL and you need to stay home away from any human contact because you are DEFINITELY not suited to it!! I will not go back to Bella Terra solely based on YOU the waitress that brought our food because you are a RUDE see ya next Tuesday... SHAME SHAME SHAME PS food was not stellar at all!!

And wow... absolutely delicious! We happily grabbed a bottle of their Cab Franc to enjoy with dinner and it paired perfectly with everything. We started with the ricotta toast: homemade ricotta, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and garlic oil. Absolutely delicious. I honestly never even knew homemade ricotta could taste THAT good! For dinner, I got the salmon special with a white wine sauce over a bed of chickpea ragù, and I seriously could not stop eating it. So flavorful and perfectly cooked. The fettuccine Alfredo with chicken was INSANE -- rich, fresh, creamy, and you could immediately tell the Alfredo sauce was homemade and made fresh to order... definitely not from a jar. Soooo good! One of the best parts was the chef personally making rounds to check on guests and get feedback. Every table seemed to have nothing but positive things to say. Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing experience. We already can't wait to go back. Make this a must-try ASAP!

He personally greeted my party when we arrived and even offered us some free samples. Our server was very attentive. Perhaps a little too much at the beginning.

We were given two slices of baguette. That was odd. On the bright side, the baked brie was delish!! I left typsy and full with a smile on my face. I'm very content with my experience there.

The Vinoski Cabernet Sauvignon was quite delicious, nothing like the majority of wines served in Pennsylvania wineries with the notable exception of BellaTerra, which we also enjoy quite a lot.

The photos give a brief idea of the size of the crowd, but the hill sides were both packed. The music was outstanding, and the atmosphere perfect for a summer evening.
