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).

What a fun place! I had been to the mall and plaza locations of this winery, but not the main…read morelocation. I had no real idea what to expect in terms of the building, but I was familiar with their wines. There is a sign for the winery at the end of the road and you enter up a long driveway (with several signs warning about not bringing in outside food and drink). I had no idea that their grounds were as massive as they were! There was even a sign for a walking trail. I visited on a Monday in the winter, so I wasn't able to take advantage of their beautiful grounds, but after a great visit, I definitely want to come back in warmer weather and come for one of their events (or even just to enjoy some wine outdoors). They have a nice variety of wines. Many sweet, dry and fruit wines. They also have cocktails and other drinks. I like that more of the specialty establishments are starting to have extended offerings because it makes visiting more accessible to people who might not like wine or beer but still want to enjoy the company of someone who does or a specific event. I went in set on getting a wine slushie (they rotate their flavors, but every one I've tried has been delicious). They allow you to sample basically anything from their menu and you can order wine by the glass, bottle or as tasting flights. When I was there, they were still offering their Valentine's pairing which included four generous pours of red wines each paired with a gourmet chocolate. I really enjoyed the experience and everything was tasty. The service was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I asked questions about the wines, where the grapes are grown, how they come up with new blends and about events and they answered all of them. Overall, an amazing experience and a place I'll definitely be back to.

Be warned there is NO communication. They falsely advertise an event coordinator for your day but…read morewhat you get is actually a catering coordinator (two different jobs). At the end of the wedding the catering coordinator asked me for a tip. There was a 21% gratuity on the final invoice and they never let me know where that went to when I asked. The seating/set up chart I received was NOT how it was set up the day of. There was a wedding the day before mine and we had to intrude on them to have our rehearsal which was unfair to them (I just hope their wedding turned out better than ours). The ceremony site was left over from the day before and a complete mess we had to realign the chairs ourselves. If you take Tim up on officiating he might decide to back out last minute and not tell you and have someone else do it who let's their phone ring during the ceremony and NEVER turn in your marriage license until you get a state representative involved. Their response was a $500 refund which I did receive but for the amount of stress they put me under on my wedding day that I shouldn't of had to deal with is unacceptable. I won't recommend this venue or the catering. The food was good but I do not want to support any businesses owned by Carson's Catering again.

I was a part of a wedding that chose the Barn at Ligonier Valley as both the ceremony and reception…read morespace. It was beautiful inside and out, and the wedding was truly wonderful. Here are the main things to note: Pros: -Beautiful interior reception space. Large, and quite flexible. -Reception area was cooled nicely. -Easily adapted to move a ceremony indoors due to rain. It was probably better that the ceremony was indoors, because the outdoor space had a few issues. -Different wall textures and outdoor set ups allowed for a variety of pictures. -Food was fine, but not spectacular. Cons: -We couldn't get into the barn when we needed to, and the owners and staff were not always on time. -The bridal suite is in desperate need of cleaning and remodeling. It's incredibly hot, so wearing a giant wedding dress gets extremely uncomfortable pretty fast. We were able to get them to bring in a big, dirty, fan that was probably 40 years old, and pretty dangerous. The carpet was very rough, and very uncomfortable to be kneeling on when trying to bustle a bride's gown! It was just old, dirty, hot and uncomfortable. A bride needs to be cool, comfortable, and have a place to sit down her glass of champagne before the wedding. -Staff started cleaning up before the party was over - we had the barn until midnight, so I didn't want to see people cleaning up until we were done cleaning up our decorations and out of the way. They started coming in at about 11, and kept moving our things and getting in our way as we were trying to wrap up. -There is a gazebo for outdoor ceremonies, but it is very close to the road, and doesn't provide a very nice backdrop. Brides have to walk from the barn through the parking lot to get to the ceremony location.

Awesome hall, awesome people, good food at the event, overall 5/5 great place!…read more We came for the Boo Bash Cash Bash and I have to say out of all the local and further Fire Halls/Event spaces run by a fire department this is one of the nicest I've seen. Wasn't a huge space but it can hold up to 250 so it can get a good crowd and be just fine. The food was good and fresh. The facility was extremely clean and the kitchen was immaculate. The volunteers who run the hall on top of fighting fires are nice and welcoming! We had a really good time. They said they do 2 events a year and other one is around Mardi Gras. I would certainly come back again and highly recommend the space. Very accessible and ample parking for the crowd they had. Not sure they could handle the full 250 when it comes to parking but otherwise awesome space. Also they are about the only VFD who runs the online drawings with thorough transparency and tags the winners and goes above and beyond to make sure they are fair and just. Check out their FB for all the raffles and awesome things to win. They run things daily!
