We brought our own snacks to the vineyard and ordered a flight. I'm definitely not a wine expert and none of the man really piqued my interest, but we decided to get a bottle of white wine anyways. The ambiance was superb. There was guitarist entertaining us and the sunny weather made it perfect for outdoor dining. The place was mostly full, and I enjoyed the chattering. While I can't say I love the wine (tbh what do I know lol), I certainly enjoyed the romantic, calming experience. The drive to this location was beautiful as well. What a hidden gem!

While their outdoor space is an excellent feature during warmer weather, I wanted to highlight their winter weekend offerings, which involve various food pairings offered in their cute indoor space (by reservation only!!) My most recent experience was their Wine and Cheese Pairing, which is featured every January. Each year, they curate a combination of local cheese and either honey/jam to pair with their wines, and every year, it's a hit. My favorite pairing this year involved their Pinot Rose, a delicious cheddar, and an orange ginger honey that was absolutely delightful. I also particularly enjoy their wine and cupcake pairing offered every March in partnership with Dia Doce cupcakes --- a highlight of every spring.

The pros: this is a beautiful winery with lots of spacious hills and indoor/outdoor seating. The facility is rustic but modern and spotless. The bathrooms are big and clean. The cons: there is no air conditioning. They have fans inside, but they don't do much. I'm sure it would be more enjoyable in cooler weather. I remember reading somewhere that the winery itself is not dog friendly. However, there was a large black lab roaming around, and they had puppy yoga there. I guess you just can't BYOD.

This was our first time visiting and are not wine connoisseurs. Our server Shannon was very helpful in explaining the wines and making recommendations based on our input. We enjoyed a cross section of the menu. We had the Olives, Bread Service, and Hummus from the Bites menu. The Hummus dish was very good. Among our party we had the Ricotta Gnocchi, Short rib, and slow roasted chicken. I recommend the short rib as a strong dish. The roasted chicken dish could use some attention as the included escarole was a strange side as it had the consistency of dried leaves and was really an inedible part of the dish. The chicken was also "just" done as it had a wee little pink that made the eater a bit nervous about doneness. My daughter had the white wine flight and found it a good way to try multiple different options. I enjoyed the right bank red blend that was recommended based on the mixed experiences of two of us who were sharing a bottle. It was a good choice. I would recommend Turks Head for a nice evening with friends or a romantic evening with that someone special. Another great dining option in West Chester that has been under the radar.

Turks Head, West Chester -- Beautiful Atmosphere, Excellent Service, Inconsistent Food…read more We recently visited Turks Head in West Chester as a party of four -- two couples celebrating two birthdays. Overall, we really enjoyed the atmosphere, wine, and service, but felt the food experience was somewhat inconsistent, especially considering the price point. Atmosphere 10/10. The space has a cool, sophisticated vibe that immediately stands out. We loved the music and overall ambiance -- it's clearly designed for lingering over wine, cocktails, and conversation. The atmosphere is easily one of the restaurant's strongest assets. Service Our waiter, Jack, was excellent -- attentive, personable, and knowledgeable. We genuinely enjoyed our interactions with him throughout the evening. The rest of the staff was also extremely friendly and accommodating, especially when we encountered issues with our entrées. Service overall was a highlight of the experience. Food The menu is structured around a first, second, and third course, though we opted for starters followed by entrées. The starters were a strong start. We tried the heirloom tomato dish, chilled shrimp, and Caesar salad with chicken. All were well received. The heirloom tomatoes and shrimp were appropriately portioned for starters, while the Caesar salad (with chicken added for an upcharge) was notably larger and very well executed -- one of the best dishes of the evening. For entrées, two of us ordered the branzino (market fish), which was very well prepared and paired nicely with the recommended wine. Unfortunately, the two porchetta entrées were extremely disappointing and had to be sent back. The staff kindly offered to remake them, but we declined, unsure a replacement would differ significantly. Instead, we ordered the lamb meatballs. While flavorful, they arrived cold and consisted of only two meatballs per order. The porchetta was removed from the bill, which we appreciated, though we were surprised the replacement dish was still charged given the circumstances. The staff handled the situation professionally, but by that point we were joking that we might need to stop for food on the way home. Drinks The wine program is interesting but somewhat confusing. They offer a white wine flight for $35 and a red flight for $35, with a "Gold" flight at $55 that includes both reds and whites. The structure felt a bit unclear, so we opted for cocktails and wine by the glass instead. The cocktails were excellent, and our friend enjoyed his white wine. During dinner, we ordered the Expedition Sauvignon Blanc, which paired very nicely with the branzino. The two Cabernet selections -- one from Napa Valley and one from Sonoma County -- were also well received. Desserts Dessert was a mixed experience. The chocolate tortes were good but slightly firm in texture. The lemon olive oil cake had a dry exterior but a pleasantly moist center. The standout was the selection of chocolates from a local chocolatier -- truly delicious. However, they were served on a warm plate and began melting almost immediately, which felt like an odd presentation choice for such delicate items. One additional surprise was that coffee or espresso was not offered after dessert, which felt like a missed opportunity given the restaurant's upscale wine-bar atmosphere. Special Occasions We mentioned we were celebrating two birthdays when asked. The staff did acknowledge them, which we appreciated. While we weren't expecting anything complimentary, a small gesture such as a candle with dessert would have elevated the moment and made the celebration feel more special. Overall Impression Overall, Turks Head excels in atmosphere and service. The space is beautiful, the staff is outstanding, and the wine and cocktails are very good. Several dishes were also genuinely enjoyable. However, the kitchen execution was inconsistent, particularly with the entrées, which makes the experience feel misaligned with the pricing and overall polish of the restaurant. Would we return? Yes -- but likely in a different way. Turks Head feels ideal for wine, cocktails, and light bites rather than a full dinner. With a bit more consistency from the kitchen, this could easily become a standout destination in West Chester.

Service was friendly and I think overall the prices here are reasonable. Was not big on their whites - they were a bit to austere for our taste. The grunier vetliner holds promise but it's missing some of that wonderful pepper spicy note that you typically get. On the red side, they're entry-level wine, which is Redbone was actually our favorite kind of a pizza style light red. I also thought the title, which is there biggest red was pretty decent and they had a new release which I didn't catch the name of but tasted, and it was a Good one as well. Knocked on some cheese and bread with a music in the background and a beautiful deck. A worthwhile destination on a beautiful Saturday
