If you're strolling through downtown Jim Thorpe and looking for something a little different, make…read moresure you stop by Stonekeep Meadery & Wine Cellars. Tucked away on Broadway, this cozy little tasting room is a hidden gem that's well worth seeking out. The atmosphere has a fun medieval feel that perfectly matches the history behind mead, one of the world's oldest alcoholic beverages. Whether you're already a mead fan or trying it for the first time, the staff makes the experience enjoyable and educational. They happily explain the different styles, from traditional honey meads to fruit-infused varieties, and offer complimentary tastings so you can discover what suits your palate best. Their meads are crafted with Pennsylvania honey and local ingredients, making each pour feel like a true taste of the region. I also appreciated that they offer wines in addition to their meads, so there's something for everyone. There was a great selection ranging from dry to sweet, making it easy to find a favorite. I ended up leaving with a bottle to enjoy at home because the tasting made it impossible not to! The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable without ever making you feel rushed. They took the time to answer questions and made the tasting feel personal rather than just another stop along Broadway. Stonekeep is one of those unique places that adds to the charm of Jim Thorpe. Whether you're spending the day shopping, exploring the historic town, or just looking for a relaxing tasting experience, this is definitely a stop I'd recommend. I'll absolutely be back on my next visit!

It is located on top of a mountain and the scenery is absolutely beautiful. I came during the winter and it still looks stunning. I can only imagine how it would be in the summertime. I've been to Napa valley and I would say this rivals the beauty of some of the wineries in Napa. Save your flight money and just come to Pennsylvania to this winery. My wife and I had a tasting and some wines. I liked better than others but that's usually how it is at every winery. I really enjoyed two out of the five wines that I tasted so I bought a bottle of the wine that I loved and I ordered a glass of the wine that I liked. The woman who poured my wine was very knowledgeable and seemed to be really into the wine. She also mentioned that she was a cousin to the owner so it really gave me family vibes in this establishment. They also had a separate cheese company putting together cheese plates. So we definitely ordered that as well. This winery has a couple of goods for sale, potatoes, t-shirts, and tchotchkes. I definitely bought a bag of potatoes that is grown on the farm and they were delicious. Inside the winery there was a very cool vibe with a lot of people having tastings. Everybody was in good spirits. Did I mention that the views are spectacular while you're drinking. We couldn't drink outside because it was so cold but I would definitely love to come during the nicer months weather wise. I have zero complaints with this winery and I cannot wait to come back.

The soft murmur of chitchat and live music instills a Joyful atmosphere -- even recognized a few friendly faces celebrating. The gentle aromas of Wine and Pizza warmly fill the air. The Vineyard Views offers Respite from the Outside - and is Charmingly lit by 1.2 million lights at night - made me Wonder if this was what Italy was like.
