    White Lightning Slushy. Tastes like a delicious pear refresher.
    Chris K.

    We had a wonderful experience at Giant Oaks, and it exceeded our expectations! Lou, the owner and winemaker, came over to our table to acquaint us with his wines, moonshine, and slushies. I didn't plan to buy a bottle of wine or to try a slushy, but I did both. We had a Groupon for the no food drink tasting that included five one-ounce tastings from their extensive list of wine and a three-ounce wine slushy (I had the white lightning, which tasted like a yummy pear refresher.) The tasting also came with a glass of wine of our choice from our tasting. We tried 10 different wines between the two of us, and we preferred the reds. Lou uses grapes from places like California, Chile, and Washington, among others, and the wines capture the taste of the terroir of those regions. I did not expect to find in Pennsylvania! Wow! We enjoyed our tasting with the white and dark chocolate covered popcorn. It was such a nice match with the wines. Seating is available inside and outside. Lots of seating! Artwork decorates the walls, and musicians are often performing inside, with music piped outside too so everyone can enjoy! It looks like they have party rooms too. Something to consider for a shower, anniversary, or birthday party!

    Thank you to giant oaks winery for providing a beautiful venue for our daughter's baby shower. It was absolutely perfect. Lou and Linda were extremely accommodating and made sure every detail was perfect. Tammy was so attentive to our guests and they raved about the venue, the parking and of course the WINE! If you are considering having your event here, i highly recommend it! You won't be sorry.

    I am so glad we randomly stopped at Giant Oaks Winery! This winery is family owned and operated. We were immediately greeted by the owner, Lou, when we entered. He introduced us to his wife and his sister-in-law as well, which definitely made us feel welcomed! Lou explained the wine tastings to us, and we chose to do the $0.50 samples. You can sample 1/2 ounce of any wine for only $0.50! I ended up trying mostly reds because he said they were his speciality. While we were sampling, we ordered a pepperoni pizza and the hummus plate. The hummus was delicious, but it definitely wasn't spicy like the menu read. The pizza was good, but it was definitely on the small side. We ended up adding a cheese/fruit plate because we were still hungry. We all got a glass of wine or a wine slushee. The Rose Slushee was to die for! It wasn't super sweet like other ones I've had. The food was good, the wine was good, and the service was amazing! I would recommend checking it out if you're in the area!

    Love this place! Locally owned by the most friendly people! Wait staff is very attentive and great. Delicious wines- my favorite is the Red Blend. Super cute aesthetic for indoor & outdoor seating!

    This was a cute winery that I didn't even know existed until the other day! Right near trax farms where I go all the time! Glad we stumbled upon it. The servers were very friendly and helpful, but it was a busy night so sometimes we were waiting a while. They had live music on a Friday and everyone seemed to really enjoy it! You can get wine and whiskey flights which is fun! We ordered spinach dip which was good and a cheese board. For $22 the cheese board was very lackluster. I truly do not believe that was worth more than $12 so hopefully next time it's better. My favorite thing was the wine slushy. They had a bunch of flavors and they all tasted great. I would return for drinks but not necessarily the food.

    Enjoyed ourselves! Thanks

    The moonshine! Delicious! Owner was helpful and friendly. Loved sitting outside on the deck.

    The winery has been opened for 4 days. This was our first visit to the winery. We were looking forward to a winery only down the street from our house. They have many wines available 16 different wines. Two white wines and the rest is red wines. They range from California to South America, where the grapes originate from. The prices are a bit steep for the area. Traditionally prices are closer to 15-22 per bottle. However since the grapes are from different regions that tends to be the difference from what I've gathered. The downside for me was that you can only sample 3-4 1 oz pours. Like myself, I will purchase bottles but really like to sample the wine, willing to pay the cost for the samples. I had tried a few, but then purchased a glass for the others that I wasn't sure of. However the lady waiting on us was pleasant and allowed me to sample it. They did have a pre selection of a flight, in which would go over better if you got to choose which one you want. I have been to over 200+ wineries from California to the Finger Lakes. I know what works and what people like. Now the wine was very good from what I tried. Merlot Carmenere Blend, both Cabs and Sangiovese Reserve were excellent. I purchased a couple bottles, allowing myself to come back and try the others. :) The owner and wine maker was pleasant. He stopped by and introduced himself. I like the winery, good blends, but please don't be like Narcisi Winery with the wine sampling. Provide an opportunity to sample all with a cost of $1 per 1-3 oz taste and or waived if purchase of a bottle. No lost in wine.

    I am a local girl that lives in Vegas. Me and my husband came here while on summer break on a recommendation. We got to meet the owner/wine maker (not always the same). He was very knowledgeable about wine and was able to explain all his wines and processes in full. There was a huge list of wines to choose from. The flights were a great option if it's your first time. We had one flight with charcuterie and one without. That was a great combo! We will 100% be back before we go back to Vegas. The ambiance inside was wonderful and the patio would be great when it's not 90% humidity out.

    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).

Figured, "what the heck, I like wine!" What I found was a totally unexpected and wonderful experience. Most smaller mom 'n pop wineries are just not that good. Especially those outside the normally expected areas like Napa, Russian River Valley, etc. The ambiance is both country and modern at the same time. Meaning clean lol. The decor and welcoming smile scream "welcome home" and at the same time subtly describe a very modern wine experience. Apparently they get their grapes from California then make wine here. And it shows. This is the first Pinot Noir I've had outside Oregon that was actually good! The Montepulciano was very good too! I will admit I only tried one sampling of each of the reds and over half were great. Which is saying something. Also nice was the simple yet tasty charcuterie service. The presentation was simple yet appropriate. Sitting outside, enjoying the Sun and countryside just made the experience a visit to remember. If you ever want to try a local winery, sit at a relaxed venue, be served with a smile, and leave with a coups of fantastic bottles of wine, definitely make your way here. And apparently if you come on Sunday, you'll enjoy some live music to boot!
