BUT Tonight, I showed up after they closed but Kelly was still wrapping up end of day duties. I was all bundled up and I know she didn't recognize me but I made prayer hands and a pretty please face hoping she would let me buy a bottle. Today was a long day and I just wanted to get home and relax. She opened the door and I was very thankful. She told me she wanted to be gracious because she realized we do not always realize what kind of day or what people are going thru. She herself just had a difficult day at work last week as she received bad news at work. Let's all be a lil considerate of others, we all need grace. Cheers n Thank You Kelly I'm grateful for your graciousness tonight!

Cullari Vineyard was a hidden gem and thanks to Kelly Zimmerman who manages the place. She provided…read moreus with probably the best 1:1 wine tasting that we've had in a very long time. She had us choose which wines that we wanted to try, She brought the wines over and told us all about each of the wines. She told us what we would taste, what would it be like etc; It was an hour tasting but it was worth it. She was fabulous and amazing. Loved it. All of the wines were absolutely amazing and cheap. One thing is that the wines are all unique. The owner of the winery owns two wineries, gets some of the wine from his estate and other grapes from other areas nearby. The owner does an amazing job with the winery be a one man operation with the process, except with the help of his team. I recommend coming here. Currently they have strict guidelines and require the door to be locked, masks to be worn at all times, and only a minimum of so many guests are permitted inside at a single time.

The building dates back to the early 20th century, which gives the place a really cold vibe. They have done a great job with the interior of the space; plenty of seating, board games downstairs and a really cool bar. The beverages were excellent, and the service was even better. Our server and the chef took time to "chat us up" and tell us about the Wyndridge story. Sadly, we didn't have time to eat, but the menu looked enticing and the next time we are in town, we will make sure enjoy a meal. If you are in the area, put Wyndridge on your hit list, you won't be disappointed.

We sat outside to enjoy the music coming from the pavilion and were impressed not only with the buildings, but also with how nice the views were. We definitely plan on going back with some friends to enjoy another concert and drinks!

If you are in Lancaster, you have to take the time to visit the tasting room.

If you are traveling anywhere near Ephrata PA, put this on your hit list.

This place needs some fine-tuning in the hospitality department.  My fiancée and I met up with a…read morefriend here for an evening of drinks and shared appetizers (Mediterranean, served Friday and Saturday evenings).  The location of this place is great and shares the property with a B&B.  Therefore, you can order drinks and food and enjoy them wherever you want on the property. As we were catching up with a friend we hadn't seen in a while, we sat for several hours outside.  During this time we ordered more than $100 in wine and food and were among a small handful of visitors that evening.  There was conflicting information about what time the place closed; their website and social media had contradicting times.  Regardless, one of the servers/food-runners, a young gentleman, helped us close out our check at which time we asked when they close.  He informed us they'd be closing the kitchen and drink sales within the hour, but continued saying we could stay as long as we'd like since we were sitting outside.  Fast-forward about an hour an older gentleman, who was the bartender and I'm assuming the owner, came up to our group and said in an annoyed voice, "You needed to be out of here an hour ago.  So, you need to get going."  He then stood there and stared at us while we gathered our belongings, made our way to our cars, and drove away. Had it not been for this negative experience I would have gladly returned as everything else about this place is pretty great.  Management should make sure their hours on their website and social media match, and, most importantly, get their staff on the same page about the policy for visitors outside who aren't staying on the property.

I was happy to snag a reservation for the Tasting Room at Waltz today as I planned a leisurely…read moreafternoon. I placed a reservation request in the morning, and they called me in the early afternoon to let me know there was availability, which was great. I appreciated the variety of 15 wines from which you could sample to create your tasting. My picks consisted of: -2020 Sauvignon Blanc -2020 Fusion (white) -2020 Cellar 1599 Riesling: Cellar 1599 is a Waltz label, for reference. -2018 Cellar 1599 Red Blend -2017 Baron Red I won't go into detail on my experiences with each wine, but I did have a glass (and then buy a bottle) of the Riesling. The tastings come in little tasting tubes that are basically test tubes. While some might find that unusual, I'm a science person, so I liked it! They also have a cheese board (choose one of four cheeses) with chocolate and crackers, which I added. The tasting room staff were friendly and accessible. It was a beautiful day and lots of families were out on the large lawn. Too bad there isn't a restaurant here, or it would be even more of a win. In any case, Waltz is a winner!

Easily one of my favorite PA wineries, and my preferred destination while in Lancaster County. To…read moreme, the wine here has more of a California feel to it - the reds are more dry, a bit more robust and rustic. The whites tend to be crisper, feature minerals and ease into the finish. You'll pay a little more than nearby wineries, but the difference in quality is immediately apparent. The estate tasting room itself is somewhat unassuming - nice, Tuscan-inspired, but understated. The room is smaller, with some spacing available near the barrels, but this isn't a "big tent" kind of place. If you'd like a seat inside, you may have to come off-peak or be patient. Guests tend to linger here, and it's often because of the at atmosphere. If not, the surrounding property is a nice place to enjoy your wines. There are chocolates, cheeses, crackers and very light, local creations available. I'd love for there to be even more food choices - these wines are designed to accompany a good meal. If you're okay going slightly off the beaten path, and paying just a little more for quality wines, this is the place to visit in Lanco.

The customer service alone made the visit memorable--super friendly, not pushy, and happy to walk us through all the options. We opted for the $10 tasting flight, which let us choose 6 wines of our choice--such a great value! They had a really impressive variety, from crisp whites to bold reds and even a few unique blends. Whether you're new to wine or more experienced, there's definitely something for every palate here. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. Great wine, great service, great vibes.

I can't recall if i have ever ranked a local distillery at 5-stars - but this gem of a place is…read moreamazing and deserves to be recognized. We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon to sample the wares. For the most part we were the only ones there - so we had the opportunity to have a long conversation with the owner: about him, his products, and what i can only describe as "passion" for crafting spirits. In fact, passion may be too weak a word... We ordered a fiight of 8 spirits - 5 whiskies, 2 gins, and a rum. Usually I consider myself lucky if I get one or 2 acceptable ones (my batting average on local distillers is not good lol). Springhouse is the exception to the rule. Each was good and unique in its own way - the gins were more in the Genever style - barrel rested, smoother and while the juniper was there , it was in the background. The rum was a winner as well. That said, the whiskies were my favorite - each with a distinct flavor profile. Of course I had to bring something home! Opted for their top of the line bottle: an American single (barely) malt that just screamed "have me with a big cube and a cigar" (i did later lol). At $70 a bottle its not an everyday pour - but it was firmly in the "upper category" of a craft spirit. Oh - and did i mention they serve craft cocktails? My wife loved the espresso-Carmel oriented one. The intersection between skill and passion can produce a product that punches above its weight. While we were not there for the food, we will make another trip to give it a try. its worth the drive. Trust me.

Grandview Vineyard was a happy detour that turned into a new annual tradition. We visit Lancaster…read moreevery year and decided to switch gears and stop here and honestly, it was one of those why didn't we do this sooner? moments. Set on rolling Pennsylvania countryside, the views are straight out of a postcard. It's peaceful, scenic, and exactly the kind of place where time slows down (in the best way). The wine list is well thought out, approachable yet refined, with something for every palate. Nothing felt mass-produced or rushed and each pour had intention behind it. The staff deserves real credit: knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely proud of what they're pouring. They guide you without the wine snob energy, which makes the experience feel relaxed and inviting, whether you're a casual sipper or a full-on wine enthusiast. This stop elevated our Lancaster trip and added a fresh layer to a tradition we already love. Grandview Vineyard isn't just a winery, it's an experience worth building into your itinerary. We'll be back. No question. For photos, wine highlights, and more travel-food stops worth the drive, check out @travelingtastebuds_

It doesn't necessarily look like that as you drive up. The only downfall is that there is only one restroom. The pricing seemed decent. I was super pleased that they had a small selection of mocktails. Their strawberry lemonade spritz wasn't too sweet or too tart! It was just right. My friends seemed to enjoy all the wine choices! Additionally, the crab pretzel was amazing!! The charcuterie boards looked worth it. Plenty of seating and a live band was set up around 6/630, but we left just as they were coming in. Highly recommend and would come back (even as a sober lady!).
