    Came here with a partner here for an anniversary trip activity. We called before and luckily they had made some COVID precautions with outdoor seating and social distancing. We arrived and the place was cute! But it wasn't until we got to the seating, we saw the amazing winery views. Followed up by the wine flights, cheese and crackers, and the amazing chocolates, we had an amazing time! The food was so good, and wines paired great! I ended up buying 5 bottles to take home with me! The service was good, and would recommend to anyone looking for a small town getaway.

    Galen Glen Dry Rose', one of their very best wines!

    I've been to Galen Glen quite a few times as it has become my absolute favorite winery. Their wine selection is great, reds, whites, blush, dry, sweet and everything in between. At taste for everyone, even bubbly! They do have local cheese trays, jams/jellies and candies for your enjoyment & throughout the summer months they offer food trucks on the premises. They have many other offerings throughout the year including educational opportunities highlighting their own wines & how they came to be. Stop by & enjoy a glass or bottle on the patio or in their climate controlled pavilion!

    The views from this winery are amazing. They have a really good Chardonnay, Riesling and bubbly that we enjoyed very much. The wine tasting was good and very informative. It was very relaxing and nice to spend an afternoon with friends here.

    This very modern, environmentally-conscious, and high quality winery is one of the best in PA. Up on a hilltop (once a locals' lookout), surrounded by sloping vineyards and a breath-taking view, you could swear you were in Southern CA and not Schuylkill County. You will NOT be disappointed in the wines either -- which can happen at PA wineries (but it is still good that you patronize them to encourage growth and to support local ag). GG specializes in European/German-style whites, both sweet and dry, and the (dry) Gruner Veltliner which I have had in restaurants (on draft!) is superb. Think of a bright slightly-minerally Sauvignon Blanc. The wine list covers both sides of a page, and the $5 tasting fee goes toward your wine purchase. Wonderful friendly staff all-around. I also liked their dry rose and dry red blend with Chambourcin. I can't wait to get back and taste more. There is an indoor pavilion next to the tasting room where you can take a carafe ($10 for 1/2) and some snacks available on site, to relax on picnic tables with windows all around. Outdoor seating is available too. One amazing thing I have not seen on the East Coast is the high quality of tasting glasses. They are Tritan (Schott-Zweisel) crystal, whoa nice! We could not get away without buying food, wine, a carafe to drink, and glassware (the Tritan is not for sale that I know of; the GG logo glasses were still pretty cool). This winery has been going since 1995 and is continually innovating and upgrading. In keeping with sustainability, they use NO animal finings (usually fish bladders) or products in any of their wines. (*Did you know that some wineries add casein, which is milk protein?) This winery is well worth the drive, enjoy!

    Friendly staff and lots of wines to try. For 5 dollars you got 6 very small tastes and another 2 bucks got you the ice wine. The 5 dollars could go toward a bottle of wine. They should get glasses with their name on it instead of fancy crystal. They also had cheese fondue that you could get with a decent glass of wine for 5 dollars. It is 1 of the 8 wineries on the Lehigh trail.

    Number 1 With two good close friends as party of three for the Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania wine tour, Galen Glen was our first vineyard to visit. Six tastings for $5.00 was so worth the experience. Their glasses are generously large specifically made by a German glass maker, unlike the standard wine glasses, purposely to enhance the wine taste and intake pleasure. I like the wine goblet so much for the large size that I purchase it for $5.00. The $5.00 wine tasting fee applies towards the purchase of any bottle. Staff is attentive to our questions and selections for the six tastings. Ice wine is available for tastings at $2.00 each. Their staff mention how Galen Glen is known for their German and Austrian white wines and they surely live up to this claim. We were blown away with their quality white wines!! My personal favorite whites were: Grüner Veltliner 2013 dry white and Stone Cellar Gewürztraminer 2012 dry white which were by far superior in quality, grapes and light on the palate. I sorrowfully regret for not purchasing a bottle, but their website enables purchasing to the public. Their reds were also good as the Cellar Red 2013 which was subtle, semi-dry with the flair of Chambourcin. Galen Glen does not offer food despite having chairs and tables outdoor that faces the beautiful scenic valley of Andreas, Pennsylvania. The acres of land is large and sits on a steep valley. They offer complimentary crackers only to clean the palate in between tastings, but no substantial food. Facilities are clean. The atmosphere of the tasting room is very modern, simple and clean. One resident cat exist but it does not bother patrons. A private parking lot is available. There are no wine tours offered of their vineyard, cellar, nor explanation of what type of barrels are used aging and what type of barrels used for fermentation. The tranquil valley landscape is a must-see and must-be photographed as it was a good escape from a urban setting and the stress of any large densely populated city life. So worth the long haul drive.

    Just beautiful! Overlooking the countryside, this winery has all that a wine-o needs for a good time. We did the tour, and you get to ride on the back of a wagon that's pulled by a tractor. It leads you down to where the family wine is made. The service we had here was not the best. I came with a big group of girls, and we were totally ignored on the wine tour. The tour guide talked with his back to us the whole time. He made no effort to make eye contact with any of us at any time. Attempting to ask questions didn't help. He answered the question to the rest of the group, and we weren't even able to hear the answers. Bummer, because we were actually interested in what we had to say. A bunch of us bought the wine slushi mix which was delicious! The cheeses and wines were also fabulous. The Gala wine was my favorite! I would go back but skip the tour.

    My friends and I went to Jim Thorpe for my birthday weekend and we decided to visit the Galen Glen Vineyard & Winery and we were serviced by Kathy! She was a very warm and welcoming woman and her personality matched the beautiful scenery and vast wine collection! We all left very happy and satisfied! Thank you for making our first wine tasting experience memorable!

    From the moment I arrived with my friends we felt welcomed. Kathy was lovely and explained the wines to our understanding. I bought a bottle for my mom and I will definitely be back again! I highly recommend Galen Glen, not only for the amazing wine but for the amazing customer service as well.

(We were there on cornhole tournament day, which was hilarious because it was a bunch of beer drinking men competing for free bottles of wine.) Their tastings are $5 for any number of wines, with the fee waived if you buy a bottle. (which at their prices, you might as well) They have a large selection of dry whites, reds, and sweet varietals, however their tasting menu was not separated into any actual wine varietal order besides white and red. This was annoying because the pourer wanted to 'go down the list', while we tried to go in typical pallete order. They seemed to focus on sweeter wines, with even the typical dry red varietals having a sweeter finish. We really didn't connect with any of the wines, but ended up purchasing a bottle of red to cook with (because it was practical with the waiving the tasting fee). The pourers are younger helpers, who didn't really know about the wine to provide any information minus the name, but it didn't seem like the atmosphere where you'd get a wine lesson, history of their winery, or info on their choices. Though I did try asking. Overall, it seems like a fun spot if you're a local going to hang out with friends drinking sangria slushies, but as a wine lover it'd pass. I only rate two stars because they were nice people.

Both a beer and wine were terrific and above average! But the location and the views give it an extra star and bring it to five stars!

However, even though the inside was full, we sat out back on the patio and had a blast! However, if you want to eat a meal here, you'll need to get a reservation inside.

We learned the pourers are wine consultants from Mendoza, Argentina, brought over by the winery owner to help develop a variety of wines. It really is a gem.

We shared: Albarino: 'tart' needed to be chilled more Cab Franc: pepper on the finish, lighter on the in-take Chambourcin: sweeter than normal Merlot: bold for a merlot Petit Verdot: too light Flagship Red: pepper from the Cab Franc, bold from the Merlot, a twist probably from the Malbec, but light tannin finish from the Petit Verdot From talking through the wines, we learned the Chardonnay was the favorite of our pourer, so he let us add it on-glad we did, we went home with a bottle: smooth, buttery, with a slight oak twinge. Great place to sit out and have a quality glass of wine, though probably better to just take home the bottle due to the construction views, but definitely worth supporting the winery either way!
