Sweet Diamond and dry Riesling from Washington. The wine waitress should have said do the diamond last since it's sweet. We started to try the reds. The Merlot tasted like a traditional Merlot. Noiret was good. Old Vine Zinfandel was super dry and wasn't a fan of it. The Marquette is a wine that I do not sample often . It was fabulous. Aged in bourbon barrels for two years. She asked if I like bourbon and said yes. She said you will like this. She was right . Dry but a good taste towards the end. My two things that I dislike. The white wine isn't chilled. They provide you ice if you prefer. Ice waters up the wine and takes the taste away. The Marquette I purchased a bottle if and it's great. But it's $38 a bottle and around here that doesn't fly. Overall great place. I look forward to visiting in the upcoming months.

We've always loved Giant Oak Winery -- especially their Cab Franc, which has been a favorite of…read moreours for years -- so when they opened a restaurant, we could NOT wait to try it. And wow... absolutely delicious! We happily grabbed a bottle of their Cab Franc to enjoy with dinner and it paired perfectly with everything. We started with the ricotta toast: homemade ricotta, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and garlic oil. Absolutely delicious. I honestly never even knew homemade ricotta could taste THAT good! For dinner, I got the salmon special with a white wine sauce over a bed of chickpea ragù, and I seriously could not stop eating it. So flavorful and perfectly cooked. The fettuccine Alfredo with chicken was INSANE -- rich, fresh, creamy, and you could immediately tell the Alfredo sauce was homemade and made fresh to order... definitely not from a jar. Soooo good! One of the best parts was the chef personally making rounds to check on guests and get feedback. Every table seemed to have nothing but positive things to say. Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing experience. We already can't wait to go back. Make this a must-try ASAP!

Even thought this place isn't super fancy, I really enjoyed this winery experience. The wines were…read moregood and the options were extensive. The owner is super wonderful. He personally greeted my party when we arrived and even offered us some free samples. Our server was very attentive. Perhaps a little too much at the beginning. My party felt a bit rushed when making our selections. The only other not ideal thing was when we ran out of dippers for the baked brie we were given a hard time when we asked for more bread. We were given two slices of baguette. That was odd. On the bright side, the baked brie was delish!! I left typsy and full with a smile on my face. I'm very content with my experience there. I'm not in a rush to come back, but I had a good time.

The Vinoski Cabernet Sauvignon was quite delicious, nothing like the majority of wines served in Pennsylvania wineries with the notable exception of BellaTerra, which we also enjoy quite a lot. Vinoski has a beautiful patio and balcony for entertainment, you can reserve tables on the patio and outside food is welcome. We ended up purchasing four bottles of the Cabernet, two to take with us. The photos give a brief idea of the size of the crowd, but the hill sides were both packed. The music was outstanding, and the atmosphere perfect for a summer evening. This place is the exact opposite of narcissi, and that we felt very welcome. Highly recommend

As for the wine, I was mainly drinking beer from our group's private stash, but a number of group's members had some and said that it was very good.

The wines are on a different level, completely blowing other PA made wines out of the water.

When we arrived, we were greeted nicely by a nice young man. We did do wine tasting, they have 40 wines available to try. All of the wine tasting is free.

We had masks on, but no signs on the door about masks and the two employees were not wearing masks.
