    Calamari and fried zucchini

    Food was delicious. Wine was great. We really enjoyed staying at the Inn. The girl who gave us our wine tasting, was super friendly and informed. Our dinner was really good. Only complaint I have is our waitress commented twice on how fast our food disappeared. Kind of made me feel fat. Which I'm not.

    Cheers

    Folino Winery offers a spacious tasting room with an attached gift shop and an impressive variety of wines, including Barbera and Cabernet Franc. Amanda, who guided my tasting, was courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable as she poured my selections and chatted about the different profiles. In general, the wines are lighter as compared to California wines. I didn't have any wine that I didn't like here. The tasting was $15 and bottles varied from $18 on up. Definitely moderate prices. The day was cloudy and cold, so I didn't explore the outdoor area, but it looked like a pleasant space for warmer weather. I visited only the tasting room and did not check out the restaurant. I took home a couple of bottles, including one of their sangria-style wines that caught my curiosity. I'm looking forward to pairing it at home and sharing it with guests. Folino is a nice stop if you're exploring the Jim Thorpe area in the Poconos of Pennsylvania. Thank you for your friendly hospitality!

    Elite-worthy impromptu date night Folino Estate Winery absolutely delivered from start to finish. We jumped into a blind wine tasting featuring six wines--three whites and three reds--complete with a fun guessing sheet that made the experience interactive and playful. Kenzie was a standout host: knowledgeable without being stuffy, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the winery. She shared great insight into the wines and Folino's story while keeping the tasting relaxed and fun. Huge thanks to her for setting the tone for the night. We stayed for dinner afterward and the food was excellent. From the appetizers to the entrées, everything was delicious and beautifully prepared. Pair that with the stunning scenery and it made for an ideal date-night atmosphere. Shoutout to our waitress Morgan A, who was attentive, friendly, and handled everything with ease and always with a smile. Thoughtful experiences, great service, and a gorgeous setting, this is exactly why Folino Estate earns its Elite stamp. Already looking forward to our next visit .

    Absolutely gorgeous winery! The wines lean more toward the dry side, but they do offer 1-2 sweet options and a few semi-sweet selections, so there's something for everyone. They have an on-site restaurant, and reservations are easy to book online. We did the wine tasting, which included six samples--definitely worth it. They also offer a mulled wine that was absolutely delicious. You can even purchase a kit that includes the bottle of wine to make it yourself at home, which I loved. The winery grounds are beautiful and I can only imagine how amazing they are from spring through fall. We visited during the winter and it was still lovely. There's also a large, beautiful gift shop with lots of great items. I definitely recommend making a trip to this winery!

    Roasted Grape Pizza
    Grace L.

    The venue itself is undeniably beautiful, with a warm, rustic charm that feels like you've stepped into a Napa Valley vineyard. It sets high expectations right from the moment you walk in--and unfortunately, the food didn't quite rise to meet them. I started with the pappardelle crema, featuring wide ribbons of pasta in a white wine garlic cream sauce, topped with prosciutto crisps. While the presentation was appealing, the flavor fell flat. The sauce tasted more like a basic Alfredo, with no noticeable hints of garlic or white wine. The prosciutto crisps did add a welcome salty crunch, but they were sparse, leaving most bites lacking that extra layer of flavor. Portion-wise, it felt closer to an appetizer, and with no bread, soup, or salad included, it didn't feel like a complete entrée. Still extremely hungry, I opted to try one of their pizzas instead of dessert. I chose the roasted grape pizza, a coal-fired pie topped with ricotta, mozzarella, rosemary, and a red wine glaze. Unfortunately, this dish also lacked the bold flavors it promised. The rosemary was almost nonexistent, and overall, the pizza felt underwhelming and subdued. Service was another area that could use improvement. While the waitress was friendly, she wasn't particularly attentive. Water glasses went unrefilled, and she only returned to the table once we had finished eating. In the end, this is a place where the atmosphere truly shines, but the food and service don't quite justify the price point. Right now rated a 6.7 on my Beli, Folino's has all the makings of a standout dining experience, but currently it falls short where it matters most.

    7/19/25 nice Mocktail list and - wonderful Cappuccino too!
    Jen H.

    7/18/25 we had lunch reservations and were seated promptly. The grounds and even the drive to Folino Winery is so picturesque and lovely. My husband had gotten a gift card for his retirement so we decided to go for lunch and meet up with friends. As a non drinker I really appreciated the nice mocktail list on the menu. It is really nice to have the option of something more than water. The garlic knots had zero hint of garlic and some were burned. I do not recommend these! I get delicious hot garlic knots at Dolce Casa in Tamaqua and they are complimentary! The calamari was very expensive at 20$ in my opinion. It was good and tender and the 5 of us shared it. Overall the food is ridiculously expensive. A piece of Lasagna for 26$?! You don't get any bread or salad either. I opted for the wood fired pizza. The pepperoni with basil- it arrived without basil and the server was happy to bring it to me. She explained it did not come with basil- I pointed it out that the menu states it does come with basil- she apologized and told me it has never had basil anytime she has served it. Maybe the cooks need to brush up on the menu? It wasn't a big deal but I wanted her to know that the oversight was not my fault. The desserts are double the price of regular places. A cannoli is a hefty 14$. The atmosphere was sleek and nice. We were seated by the door and every time the door opened we got a gust of wind. All in all the service was good and so was the food. The prices were sky high for food but I did enjoy it. As a non drinker- wineries are not fun for me- but Folino's was! To me, it was more of a restaurant experience. I loved the Berry Crush Mocktail too!

    My friends and I went to Folino Estate Winery a few weeks back. I've also been to a wedding here before, years ago. I don't remember if they had walk-in service for food or if you needed reservations, but we had reservations just in case. The place was great and had a familiar vibe of wineries I've been to before. It's nice and inviting, but not too formal or welcoming to a casual crowd. The wine selection was great, from red to white. The food was also good and enjoyable, and no one in my party was disappointed. Just be prepared to spend some money, though, as this can be a pricey day out, especially with the gift shop on the way out. We didn't get to see much outside because we visited in the winter, but we might go back in the summer. I recommend the Red Wine Hot Chocolate (well for those 21 and up) and the Tiramisu.

    Folino makes my favorite PA wine, hands down. I love their Rosato Scotto, their dry rose with just a hint of fruitiness. It's my favorite summer drink, and I'm no wino. I visit my local Folino dispensary (i.e. Vintner's Table) anytime I get a thirst for their tasty wine, so I've been wanting to visit the mothership for some time. I made a Saturday brunch reservation on a beautiful sunny day, and I was really looking forward to our time at the vineyard. Saturdays bring out the crews - there was a group Aston Martin drivers (cool parking lot!!), lots of girlies and big families celebrating birthdays, bachelorettes, babies, etc. My biggest mistake was coming here hangry. It was no less than 15 minutes from the time we sat down at our table until we finally flagged a busser for some water. From there, it was another 10 minutes before we got our wine. It was then I started reading the numerous reviews about the service at Folino, and I started sweating. I thought I had made a huge mistake. That said, it wasn't a huge wait from the time we put in our food order until it came out. But our server seemed so busy and overwhelmed that we sat for what felt like ages before we had the chance to order. I opted for the Buon Giorno breakfast pizza, and my partner ordered the chicken parmesan sandwich. My pizza was okay, but I wouldn't order it again. The crush was the best part. I've had eggy breakfast pizzas before, and this one just didn't live up to my hopes. A table near me ordered a different, savory pizza off the lunch menu, and that looked way tastier than mine. The chicken parmesan sandwich was MASSIVE! You can opt for a $5 (!) addition of fries, but given the girth of the sandwich, I don't think you need them. The venue itself is stunning, especially on a beautiful day. Their wine list is impressive, and I'm a big fan of their drier options. Pennsylvania is not particularly known for it's wines, but Folino's is an exception. They offer a variety of non-alcoholic italian sodas, coffee and espresso drinks, and a full bar of niche cocktails. That said, I'd skip the food. Or, perhaps, just skip the breakfast pizza. Based on the speed of the service here, I'd be less tempted to come here for a meal, but would definitely come for a wine or two. The servers were nice, don't get me wrong - but overall, especially for a busy Saturday, they seemed disorganized and understaffed. The cheesecake was tasty!! That was the highlight of the meal, by far. Lots of parking and great little store await inside! I'm still a fan of their wines, but I think I'll stick to my local haunt for those.

    Martini flight
    Donna G.

    They never disappoint! Came for a Mother's Day lunch. Kayleigh was our server. We had a chocolate martini flight and I had a wonderful glass of Sauvignon Blanc. The salad and burratta appetizers were fresh and delicious. My husband got the parpaddel with chicken and shrimp. He enjoyed it. The shrimp scampi with rissotto was hot and delicious. Such a pretty place and they have one of the best gift shops. You really feel like you are in Tuscany. Just too cold on a wet miserable day! Can't wait to sit outside!

    Stunning Old World Venue with a restaurant, tasting room, and large rooms for private events. Restaurant has a well rounded menu. The food is amazing. The menu suggests wine pairings (always appreciated!). We had the meatballs, arancini, and potato leek soup. Our friends said the spinach artichokes dip was outstanding! The brick oven bar area is beautiful! In the main dining room there's a large fireplace in center. Although, not fireplace weather, I can imagine the ambiance on cold days is spectacular. You can taste wine in the tasting room, or have flights while seated at a table. There are cocktails, flights of martinis. During warm weather the outside Wine garden has bocce ball, and lovely seating with picnic tables with umbrellas, swings (wheeee, so fun!). There's also a patio area, right off the main dining room. If there's one flaw, it might be restrooms. There was a wedding and shower along with regular winery guests. The line to use the restroom was quite long. There are 5 stalls in the ladies room, but with so many guests on premises it's not enough. Trash cans were over flowing and the littered. But, the sinks are beautiful ! Plan to taste, dine (life is short, eat dessert too!), and shop for merch!

    I had the pleasure of visiting this winery while in the area for a day at Bear Creek Mountain. Myself and some friends booked the wine tasting followed by dinner. The wine tasting included 6 samples of your choosing. While standing at the tasting table, I conversed with another couple who frequents the winery and they provided some very good choices. For dinner I tried the pizza and truffle fries. Both were tasty. Good service plus good food equals a return visit.

    Great wine options!

    A time was had!! What a beautiful property, friendly and knowledgeable staff and a perfect fall Saturday! I was alone and didn't have a reservation but they were accommodating! I would definitely add this to my list of faves!

When it came time for my Wedding, I honestly couldn't wait for it to be over, and it shouldn't be that way We were getting yelled at left and right. And what we thought was acceptable, still wasn't. Even got a comment after cleaning up the ENTIRE BARN after the wedding. "Oh wow you cleaned up, but you really shouldn't have" and I bet if we wouldn't have, we would've gotten yelled at. Damned if you do damned if you don't is the vibe I got. I found out a week prior to my wedding that the weekend was double booked and we did not have the venue to ourselves (Wednesday-Sunday) As we thought. The way the contract was worded we should have had the venue all day Sunday to clean up until 11:59pm since their was no specific time listed. If that is the case a new contract should be made up for future clients stating they are okay with sharing the venue 2 days out of the week, because their rehearsal and rehearsal dinner was on Thursday when we were supposed to set up... Do yourselves a favor and don't settle... Find a barn worth having a wedding in... I wish I would've done more research and picked another venue. Maybe I would've enjoyed my wedding day... I recommend Reinharts tree farm in Bernville, PA
