This place is awesome! It's a great spot to visit on a Saturday afternoon to sample some wine. A very relaxed and chill atmosphere. $10 wine tastings and that includes 6 wines. You can also buy wine by the glass or bottle and if you don't finish the bottle they will cork it so you can take the rest home. Great service, the bartender was awesome and very informative about all the wine. If you wanna splurge the reserve Cabernet is amazing and if you buy a bottle of it they waive one of your tasting fees. I def recommend Pittsburgh winery to all winos! read more

Pittsburgh Winery - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

In the words of yelp!, "Whoohoo! As good as it gets!" I always love going to the winery! We made our way here during Open Streets one Saturday afternoon and have been back several times for shows. The bartenders were very friendly as we tasted wine on the entry floor. Since we hadn't been there, they encouraged us to walk downstairs to check out the scenery and made sure we had a listing of the upcoming shows. So the good wine, coupled with the friendly folks had us sold. I've seen several shows here and the great thing is, there really isn't a bad seat in the house. It all feels intimate and with the barrel seating in the back and around the sides it always is a good view to the stage. I definitely recommend getting takeout or bringing a small app platter from home to eat with your wine. With Gaucho just down the street it's so nice to have a little snack with the wine. I always suggest buying by the bottle - they will also re-cork for you to take home any extra. If you see Joy Ike listed as a performer, I would definitely suggest getting a ticket to that show! read more

Such a great venue with the most amazing wines. Wow. It's a nice place to stop year round but I particularity enjoy a visit during the summer months. There is nothing better than a light and refreshing glass of wine on a hot summer day. Truly an excellent selection of the finest tasting wine around. The decor is amazing and makes me feel like I'm at a California vineyard tasting room. read more

This has to be one of the best and well dressed wineries I've seen in a while. I was in awe of the art and really wanted to stay in town until their next show! Everyone was very helpful and the art scene associated with this place seems amazing! I wish I could borrow the owner and find an old building in Omaha to attempt to replicate what they've done here! So happy that we happened across this place and it made my view of Pittsburgh a hole lot brighter, full of potential! Cheers! If I was only a little closer! read more

So thankful that we finally stopped in. I had sampled their wine before at yelp events and always wanted to visit. I decided that this is where I wanted to go on my birthday. The young lady helping us was very kind, personable and knew the wines. We sampled a few each. I tried Malbec, 2014 Cabernet & Red Blend. My boyfriend tried the Cabernet Reserve and another one that I'm unsure of. The Malbec was very good. It had a spice to it but it was still smooth. Red Blend was also good.. Basic but again very smooth. We each decided on a glass of 2014 Cabernet and headed downstairs to the basement. It felt so warm and inviting. We arrived about 40 minutes Before closing and only had a good 25 minutes downstairs. Next time ill be sure to allow more time. I didn't want to leave! It would also be cool to bring in food to enjoy your wine with also We plan on being regulars here. The experience was fun and the relaxation we felt in the basement was priceless. read more

Tasty selection of wines amazing service the woman who helped us with our flight and wine choices was knowledgeable and nice! Very affordable and they waive a flight with a bottle purchase. My favorite was Sauvignon Blanc - I just wish the Chardonnay wasn't sold out because I would've loved to try that. My friend loved their Cabernet I'm not really a red person though. read more

Excellent wines, great ambiance and wonderful employees! All grapes are from CA or Chile (dry wines) and then vinted and bottled here in Pittsburgh. A gem of Pittsburgh, one of my favorite spots! read more

My wife and I had an amazing experience here. The owners were friendly, the wine was amazing, and the atmosphere was great. We did the tasting and tried 8 amazing wines. The owners brought out some cheese and meats for us to try and we engaged in a great conversation with them for almost 2 hours. I would highly recommend this place and would give it more than 5 stars if we could. Thank you for an awesome time! read more

I went to the Pittsburgh winery and had an amazing time. The wine flight was delicious and I bought a bottle of wine. The flight was complementary if you bought a bottle, amazing deal. We brought cheese and meats to eat with the wine and it was perfect. The bartender was very helpful and nice. I will definitely be back! read more

Love love love! I cannot tell you how much I love this winery. It's right in the heart of Pittsburgh! WAIT, better yet... right in the Strip District! Our very own urban winery! You must go visit their digs, I promise, you won't be sorry when you're sipping a delicious red or white! This space is really beyond words. As soon as you walk in you feel like you've traveled to some far away castle in a romantic foreign city. It's dimly lit, with beautiful dark wood and a fully stocked bar waiting for you to imbibe. They have six wines right now, but the grapes are crushed fresh in house (or at least in the presence of the winemaker, Tim), so you know they're not rushing to produce a mass amount of products, just a handful of marvelous blends! My fave of the moment is the Malbec. I've been really into it for a while now and really love their blend. I honestly have had some pretty bad ones, and this is true to form. I also think this is such a white wine type of area, I'm glad to see a place putting effort into promoting the reds. But here's the other cool thing. They have a downstairs area that matches the same cool vibe of the upstairs. It's thee perfect place for an unique event. It apparently fits around 100 and would be the perfect pick for a small reception or a hip party. I wouldn't care what kind of event it was, I'd want to crash it here! They also offer custom labeling, so if you ever need a unique gift this is the way to go! This is seriously the way to go for a nice night out. Just go for the winerific experience and leave with a happy buzz! read more

I came here with some friends for the Grape Stomp this past weekend. While it was a unique and fun experience, I'm not sure that it justified the price of admission at almost $30. Unless you really want to experience grape stomping and are willing to pay for it, I'd recommend going during a concert or for a tasting instead--at least, until some changes are made to justify the price of this event. Having said that, I did really enjoy the sensation of feeling the grapes between my toes--I'd never felt anything quite like it before. (Squishy would be the best way I can describe it.) I wasn't sure how the stomping was going to work, but we literally rolled up our pants, climbed into the vat (about 3'x3'), and started crushing the grapes with our bare feet. Of course, we had to take some photos of ourselves first, so by the time we got to actually stomping, our toes were quite cold due to the temperature of the crushed grapes. As a result, we didn't do too much vigorous stomping, but it was still fun and unique, nonetheless, and I'm glad I could experience it once! Aside from having the opportunity to stomp grapes, our ticket price included appetizers (wings and hors d'oeuvres) and one ticket for a glass of wine. I chose the Malbec, and my friends each chose a white wine (I think it might have been the Sauvignon Blanc--sorry, I wasn't paying attention). Our wines were quite different, with mine being quite full-bodied and flavorful, and theirs being light and refreshing. We definitely enjoyed our respective wines, but for the price of the event, it would have been great to have 1-2 more tickets so we could sample some other wines. The people taking tickets were discussing having t-shirts for making wine footprints in the future, and I thought that was a great idea. If they threw in that--or another souvenir, such as a wine glass--plus an extra drink ticket or two (or provided a wine sampler instead of one glass), this event would totally be worth the price of admission! As others have commented, the ambiance of the basement, where this event was held, is really unique and cool. I really like how the barrel theme carries throughout the place, down to the sign hanging outside the front door. We also really enjoyed the live music from Juan and Erika. Because of these elements, as well as the quality of the wine, I'm bumping up what would normally be a 3-3.5 star rating, based on our experience, to 4 stars. read more

Engine House Winery has a sort of gothic style to it, you might even envision a dungeon in the cellar where slaves are bound by grapevines affixed to the walls with corkscrews, forced to endure blind tastings under organoleptic conditions and subsequent humiliation for lack of vocabulary administered by a oenophile. Take flight! They are building a real winery down there, using quality grapes (not from Pa). They've been in the biz for something like 15 years, but are expanding operations. I only discovered their (new) lair yesterday. 6 varietals are served with a warm welcome and appropriate snacks. Tastes good to me! Many restaurants in the city carry Engine House wines, but it's well worth stopping in and learning a bit from the master of the house. read more

this has become our place to "hang". we've been going for so long, we feel like family! we sorely miss rachel. she was the "face" everyone knew. but the guys have done an exceptional job of taking over her spot! there are several kinds of both red & white. they source their grapes from the exact areas they're interested in. comes in by train car loads! the rest is done right there, in the strip! they have a space in the 2900 block that is under construction. when it's finished, they will be able to make even more wine! plus, there will be other perks going in. you'd have to ask them, i don't know! for now, they are in the storefront 2 blocks down. as the guys are all musicians, there is music friday thru sunday. they get musicians from around pittsburgh in. it makes for a nice afternoon or early evening. they also have some beer for the "non wine" folk. &, they have a delicious board of meat & cheese for sale as well. something to nibble on while you relax with a glass of wine & some fine tunes. if that doesn't excite you, you can bring your own food in! they have a couple of memberships you can get as well. they give you a few extra perks, depending on which you go for, like a free glass of wine when you show up. or a free tasting for you & some friends. look into it. we're looking forward to seeing the new place! it should be fun! read more

I've gone here a few times and done the wine flights on all occasions. I appreciate that they import their grapes instead of using local ones-- I personally think local is too sweet. I most recently went this past weekend and shared a couple of bottles with my friends. There is a nice downstairs area where you can sit and sip. The glasses and bottles were largely well priced (the most expensive bottle was $75). I do wish there was some small snack options offered beyond the water crackers that are offered with the flights. All in all, it's a great place to have nearby. I definitely would love to circle back when they have live music playing, too! read more

Wondering around Pittsburgh as a tourist, my boyfriend and I stumbled upon the Pittsburgh Winery after looking for a cool, unique place to grab some drinks. Walking in, you immediately find yourself at a small bar area/room. There were a few couples standing around the bar with one bartender, but it did not click in my mind that this was the tasting area until the bartender signaled for us to take a spot at the bar. There was a paper menu with eight wines listed. The first six were a part of a standard tasting, and for an additional cost, you could sample the last two as well. The last two were their reserve wines. We opted to share a full tasting between the two of us and got to work. The wines made at Pittsburgh Winery are delicious. Everything is excellently prepared and presented, and the woman serving us was very informed as to how each wine was made and what tasting notes we should look for. We had a great time learning about each type of wine, going back to compare and contrast flavors, and experiencing the fine reserve wines. We ended up buying a bottle of their most exclusively produced 2013 Primitivo Reserve California Red. With all that wine, I eventually had to make my way downstairs to use the restroom, only to discover a large concert space with multiple tables and full bar. I really wish the wine tasting had taken place downstairs. By the end of our visit, the upstairs hallway/tasting room had a line and was very cramped. I think if we had walked in during the midafternoon rush with little room to enjoy ourselves, we would have turned around and missed an awesome experience. read more

I tried the red blend and the petite Syrah. Both were good, especially as I wouldn't expect to find California wines in a Pittsburgh winery. I really love the tasting room here, in the basement and the wine maker was very approachable and educating. This place has nice vibe for a date or just catching up with your girlfriends. There's plenty of room for doing a larger group event too! read more

I didn't even know there was a winery in the Strip District until I attended the Yelp Un-Wine and Relax event earlier this month. I'm so happy I was introduced to this gem. I've been here twice now and definitely want to continue coming back! The atmosphere of the winery is very cool. The walls are painted a blood red and there plenty of originally artwork on the walls to enjoy while you sip your wine. When you first go in there's a tasting bar where you can sample a flight of all their available wines for $10 a person (or for free if you buy a bottle of wine). They make all dry reds except for a really amazing Sauvignon Blanc. All of the wines are incredible...and I'm not normally a huge fan of reds. My favorites have been the Merlot and the Malbec. I also have to say I'm in love with their label design. If you decide to buy a bottle or glass of wine you can go downstairs To the cellar to hang out and enjoy. I'd really like to go back for one of the love music events. I'm sad I went so long without realizing this winery existed, but now that I know about it I'm going to keep coming back and recommending it to all of my friends! read more

This place is awesome. We stopped in last weekend to check it out and decided to do a complimentary tasting, and walked out with 4 bottles of wine. We tried their red wines, which we were pleasantly surprised by, considering they make the wine right downstairs in the wine cellar. The wine cellar is dimly lit and cozy, with barrels of wine fermenting all around you and vats of grapes waiting to go into the press. I highly recommend checking out the Pittsburgh Winery. I am so excited that my neighborhood has places like this! *Update - I can't stop buying wines from Pittsburgh Winery! For me, for gifts, for BYOB dinners, for holidays... read more

I love Pittsburgh Winery for music. It's a great venue and wine is fun. The wines are pretty good. They're all relatively softer in flavor. If your looking for a wine bar, Andy's or Allegheny Wine Mixer are your places. $30-40 for a bottle is a nice price. The venue and music selections are where it is at. They seem to pick a lot of good bands. I seem to end up here monthly. The venue is fun. A nice mix of small tables, big tables, and standing room. If parking is a concern, I typically always find street parking. You can bring food if you'd like. I occasionally see folks with food. read more

We had a great time here for a bachelorette party tasting. All staff I worked with up to and at the event were accommodating and friendly. They make it easy and relaxing as if you're just hanging out with friends. Wine selection was cool-lots of reds to sample. I'm not a wine person, but my sister is and she bought three bottle, so must be good. Loved that he gave us cheese, crackers, and chocolate with certain wines-the cheese was TO DIE FOR! Decor is dark with an gothic urban feel which is fitting given its on the strip district. Barrels everywhere and plenty of places for photo opportunities. He was more than willing to take pictures of us, which is nice. Other people strolled in as if they were regulars just coming in for a glass of wine and the staff recognized them. Love that vibe, we'd come back again when in town-maybe at night to see the live music they have! **tasting is free if you buy a bottle** read more

Got here as it opened at noon on a Sunday so I had a private event! Tasted the Malbec and the mixed red and they were good. I mainly stopped in coz I read a review on yelp about the ambiance and it was nice to see. If I lived here I would go again. read more

Funny enough the female owner is a family friend who recognized me, which made me love this place even more. The venue was a perfect place to un-wine and relax, the Pittsburgh Winery has a very chill vibe with darker colors and exquisite decor. Also a stage area for a band makes it an awesome place to come for a low key, private, and classy date. The wine tastes superb, my favorite was the Merlot or the Shiraz... I didn't know too much of wine but... the bartender was very accommodating to my taste buds giving generous samples of each multiple times. I took a bottle with me. Very Clean social setting, good place to relax and meet people who are interested in eating and travel. Will come again read more

Been here a few times. Once for a music event which was awesome! I love their wine and their decor is so cute. We came back to get some wine corks to decorate our homemade wine table pattern after theirs. Also bought the select wine and had a tasting. This is a fun place to visit. There is no food served but I've been told that you can bring in your own. read more

Pittsburgh Winery - Our Valentine's Day date. - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

A winery catering to dry wines is pretty uncommon for this area so I was super excited to try this place. They did not disappoint!! Everything was really good and the staff was so personable and accommodating. I can't wait to see some live music here! read more

Pittsburgh Winery - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I absolutely love this place as a music venue. The space is in the basement, and you are surrounded by wine barrels. The tables are open barrels with glass on the top and lights on the inside. It is very intimate and lovely. They only serve wine, but you are welcome to bring food to enjoy with it! We were here most recently for a friend's concert and shared a bottle of the red blend. The wine was delicious and the music was beautiful. I hope to come back here often for more events. read more

This is one of my favorite venues in the city. Very intimate setting and the ambiance is just wonderful. Check out the pictures to get a better idea! The room is surrounded by huge wine barrels draped in lights which gives it an extremely cozy feel. The wine varies in price depending on the type. You can order it either by the glass or bottle. It's a bit pricey, but no more than any other typical venue. You can even take the bottle home with you if you don't finish it, so it's almost always worth it to just go for a bottle. There is no food or beer served here, only their own wine and then water/iced tea and maybe some soda. I've been here twice and I absolutely love it. It's a very cute, cozy place and I have very much enjoyed the acts they have hosted! read more

Are you a red wine lover, or a fan of dry wines? Do you enjoy music? Do you appreciate the finer things in life? Then head to the Pittsburgh Winery. It's the only urban winery I have ever been to/ heard of, and it's just incredibly beautiful from the outside of the building to the basement. Typically, you can enjoy a show in their basement on the weekend, but they are currently remodeling and expect their shows to start running in the new year (so excited for that). Their wines run on the dryer side- their white blend is the sweetest wine they have, and their merlot is the sweetest red they have (it's not that sweet). I do enjoy my red wines, but I prefer white, meaning I gravitate towards the white blend. It's delicious. You can purchase wine by the glass or by the bottle. If you purchase a bottle and cannot finish it, no worries- they will re-cork it for you. I most recently came in for a visit to purchase a bottle of wine for a Christmas gift. 20% off your purchase if you check-in with yelp! Overall, a unique and beautiful spot in the strip that I highly recommend! read more

I've been dying to get to the Pittsburgh Winery. Really cool place. Interior decor gave off some TrueBlood/Vampire vibes (Fangtasia anyone??). The art is pretty dark, lots of skull stuff. It's got a red and black interior makes it different than most everywhere else I've been in Pittsburgh. I liked it. It wasn't really busy, when we stopped. We tasted a few wines, they have mostly dry wines, which I'm a sweet white wine kinda chick. But they do have Sangria and I thought that was totally delicious! I even bought a glass to sip on while we walked around the basement and looked at the skull-art. Cool place, I'd love to go when they have live music! read more

We went here to pick up a local wine bottle for some former Pittsburgh residents. Let me tell you, this place is so amazing and I have so many high hopes for their future. As we walked in, I jokingly stated we should have a glass while we're here. Funny thing is, they immediately offered us several wines to taste...for free! I absolutely love the Malbec as I'm becoming a fan of Chilean wines. It held up to my Chilean wine expectation. I also tried a Cabernet from California as well, which was also delicious. They serve cheese as well. The staff there, are extremely nice, funny and personable. They took us downstairs to show us the event area and went in to detail on their plans to expand. The stage is built with handles to that during wine making season, they can easily remove the stage to make room for the wine making process. Also, they advised us that they only use local cheeses on their cheese platters. The cupcakes are made by someone they know who actually uses the wine in the cupcakes. The ambiance is dark but not too dark. Very rustic yet, trendy looking. The event area has a separate 'bar' type of area and two walls are lined with wine barrels. I can't wait to visit again and attend an event there. The wine selection is varied enough to satisfy your curious palate. That, along with the ambiance and the friendly, knowledgeable staff make this place somewhere that I will frequent in the future. Also, the location is perfect. I love the Strip District and this business is another gem in the heart of the city. Support your local businesses! read more

Great place with great wine. Such a nice atmosphere. Rachel is a star, and absolutely makes the atmosphere what it is. Rockstar member is worth it for sure. read more

Just north of the heart of the Strip, you stumble upon this little gem. First of all, kudos to a small winery that has ZERO sweet wines. Yay for not taking the easy way out! Secondly, the staff is awesome. I've seen one of the owners both times I visited and he's about as sweet as can be. But all of the staff are awesome and will gladly talk about their wines with you. Once you've sampled their wears, you have to go downstairs to enjoy a glass or your whole bottle. The ambiance (that's my word of the week!) is absolutely charming. Good place for a date. They also do live music from time to time which must be a blast. Definitely worth a visit. read more

I really liked this place. The atmosphere was awesome. I usually do not like red wine at all, but through some tasting they found one that I really enjoyed. It could be perfect, if they had snacks! read more

Best wine, best location, best staff! My favorite wine in Pittsburgh. Very unique winery setting. High quality dry wines. Always recommend

Incredibly delicious wines and knowledgable people. I'm usually a Cab girl but the Zinfandel was so satisfying that we had to buy a bottle for dinner tonight! The cherry on top was the cellar environment that is staged for weekly concerts and events. Perfect for a first, second and third date! read more

Pittsburgh Winery - Downstairs - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This winery has a really cool vibe. It's really dark, which at first was kind of off-putting for me, but I actually kind of like it. It makes for a nice, cozy feeling. The wine is on the pricier side, I think, but it is good. If you do a tasting but buy a bottle they waive the tasting fee which is nice. I also love how they fill up bottles of water that you can take over to your table. I'm all about staying hydrated while drinking! I would recommend checking out this place if you are into wineries and live in the Pittsburgh area! read more

Every PA winery I've been to caters to those who like sweeter wines - except this one! Maybe the difference is that they use California grapes but produce the wines in PA? That might turn some off, but I loved the wines and loved the atmosphere here. The building is spacious and pretty dark and sexy. They don't have food but I believe you are welcome to bring your own spread. I really enjoyed most of the reds and even decided to join the wine club with a friend. They also had a sangria on tap over the weekend that was amazing! read more

Very chill atmosphere, great Malbec! Good times with some friends. Would def come back. Maybe for yoga with wine time??? Sounds perfect doesn't it... read more

I'm in love with this place - the wine is great and the owners/staff are amazing to work with! I just wish they were open later on Fridays/Saturdays! read more

I really wanted to like this place. I live nearby, and love music and wine. While the space and decor are great, unfortunately the staff are not. My friend and I were splitting a bottle and having a normal-voiced conversation (not loudly and mind you, every single table around us was talking), when the sound man approached us and told us that he'd had to turn up the music several times because of us and to keep it down. We were shocked by his rudeness to the point that I didn't even respond - again, all around us larger groups were being much louder. Then, at the end of the evening (post-concert) another man working there came over and grabbed our almost-empty glasses and said that he really had to "close it down." If was 11 p.m., no announcement had been made, and at least 25 people were still there. We felt targeted for no reason whatsoever. I doubt that I will return. read more
