Quaint tasting room with gorgeous views! Michael and Jason are the epitome of southern hospitality! The wine is carefully crafted and surprisingly elevated for Pennsylvania wines. Highly recommend! read more

Such a cool experience. I found this place on google maps, and bf and I simply decided to come here because I like the name of the place. We brought our own snacks to the vineyard and ordered a flight. I'm definitely not a wine expert and none of the man really piqued my interest, but we decided to get a bottle of white wine anyways. The ambiance was superb. There was guitarist entertaining us and the sunny weather made it perfect for outdoor dining. The place was mostly full, and I enjoyed the chattering. While I can't say I love the wine (tbh what do I know lol), I certainly enjoyed the romantic, calming experience. The drive to this location was beautiful as well. What a hidden gem! read more

The wine was unexpectedly good. This is a "off the beaten path" winery. Very kind owner who immediately introduced himself. Always makes it a better experience. They are resurrecting a dead winery from 4 years ago. It's a quaint place. Ample parking in dirt/grass. Nice view when sitting inside overlooking the vineyard with the walls open. read more

The atmosphere was friendly, the staff was simply magnificent and the service was amazing. The choice of wine was a huge range of red and white wine for every taste. You can bring any food and snacks you want. The quality of the wine, the production of wine and the tour of the vineyard and the winery were incredible. Very good views when you sit at the table and drink wine. Thank you very much for everything. read more

Surprised i have not done a review before - this local vineyard has been around forever. I loved the first owner and he had an outsized impact on the local wine scene helping others as they came on the scene. A few years ago - just pre-covid, he retired. It was purchased by 2 gentleman who have improved on both the variety and quality of the wines. I love the Gruner Vetliner and the rose has an almost smokey taste/nose on it. Bubbly is excellent as well! Beautiful setting, non pretentious, reasonably priced. take your picnic basket and enjoy a sunny afternoon here - you want regret it. read more

Stargazers Vineyard - a table full of food - Wineries Near Me - Coatesville, Pennsylvania

Really friendly service and an unpretentious, "local hangout" feel to it. The tasting room is in a former garage space and that helps Stargazers retain its homegrown feel, while also avoiding the trappings of trying to turn itself into an upscale destination. The wines are all very reasonably priced and provide very good value. The tasting flights are generous pours and give a solid sense of the winemakers vision. We are particularly fond of the Reserve Chardonnay, the Merlot, and the Petit Syrah. All are flavorful, balanced, and worthy of bringing home for a place at your table. read more

The wine was really expensive and they were out of most Wines. But $35 is way to high. read more

The owners are more than friendly, and I easily could have spent hours it. The vibe is so quant and the atmosphere is so electric. The vineyard is beautiful and eclectic. 10 out of read more

This place is a VIBE. It's BEAUTIFUL and FUN and just makes you feel like you're experiencing the best days of summer. I came last Saturday with 2 of my friends. There was a live violinist !! Who also sang!! And it was just such a lovely place. When we initially arrived there was no seating available, but the owner was very kind to give us an ETA. You're allowed to bring lawn chairs to sit where you'd like though, it that's something you're interested in. Around 4PM, the place started to clear out. We tried a tasting initially, and ended up getting a bottle of TINTO - a sweet red wine. LITERALLY TASTES LIKE CANDY, but still a solid 9%. I wasn't as big of a fan of the petit verdot - a bit too peppery according to my friend- and their reislings, but I'm sure all the wines here are enjoyable! Overall I would HIGHLY recommend this spot for a fun time. It just brought me so much happiness. read more

Great space to relax and enjoy the music. Friendly owners who want you to have a good time.

Love this place! Michael & Jason are so friendly & nice. Love their winery! Nice spot to enjoy great wine & live music! read more

Absolutely incredible!! Michael was incredibly welcoming and personable; we adored talking with him. We sampled all the wine and I'm converted to a red winer drinker now! Michael's passion for what he does is evident in every wine they create, highly recommend! read more

My husband and I stopped by after a busy family vacation. It was just what we needed. Mike is very welcoming and made us feel at home. We really enjoyed the Gruner Veltliner with one of the locally made cheeses. Mike actually sat and talked with us about the flowers and birds on his property. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful week away. Thanks, Mike! read more

Wonderful winery, the new owners are wonderful and so friendly, the views are great, and we really enjoyed the Petit Verdot, Cab Franc, and Chardonnay. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a winery not too far away from Philly!! read more

Great place owner was wonderful. Wines are very nice and amazing this is right in our backyard

So I have been here several times in the past, and while the wines were ok, it was always hit or miss with staffing, and their never seemed to be anything happening. We stopped in after an update to their facebook, and am happy to say it looks like they have new management/ownership and they seem to be making some changes and updates. This is great, because the location is really nice, and their wines have potential. They are changing the hours, and adding some events, and bringing their tasting room a little more up to date. Already noticed a change in the atmosphere, and will be going back to see how things are coming along. read more

We came here on a whim the other week and were pleasantly surprised how wonderful it was. The owner we met was extremely friendly and helpful the minute we arrived. We ended up both getting flights and I loved almost all except one. The tasting room is a converted garage but very cozy. The views of the vineyard were beautiful to look at while enjoying the tasting. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Went on a Friday morning with a friend - there is a covered area and outside patio - the views of the vineyard were stunning and it was a lovely way to enjoy the spring air. Owner was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable about wines. There was a good variety of wines for different palettes, but they all tasted quite nice and were fairly priced. We had a couple of flights with some cheeses (delivered). Very relaxing and family friendly. We will definitely be going back! read more

Average to bland wines in a limited space, Stargazers Vineyard needs some work to become one of the better wineries on the wine trail. I actually really love the location of Stargazers Vineyard, at the end of a road in a residential neighborhood outside of Coatesville. There are two parking spots in front of the glass garage that houses the winery, and walking inside you'll see a small tasting bar and lots of stacked plastic chairs. It was one of the hottest days of the year, and there is no air conditioning in the garage, and our pourer just seemed like he was eager to get the tasting over with and retreat back to the cool back room (despite this he was still very nice to us and appreciative we came out). The tasting is $5 and you taste approximately five wines. The first one we tried was the unoaked Solar Celebration Chardonnay, which tasted off with high acidity and a weird dank aftertaste. Next out was the Grüner Veltliner, definitely a step up with a dry mineral taste. I was not a fan of the Riesling either - too sweet with muted flavors. The reds were only slightly better and very limited. Unfortunately the sparkling wines were on the tasting, which is a shame because Stargazers Vineyard is one of the few in the area that makes a sparkling wine, and I think they should have one on the tasting. Overall, It pains me to say I wasn't impressed with Stargazers Vineyard. I like to champion small independent wineries like Stargazers, but the flavors were just not there in any of the wines I tasted. If you're limited on the wineries to visit, you can skip this one. read more

Stargazers Vineyard - Wine tasting and cheese! - Wineries Near Me - Coatesville, Pennsylvania

We had such a great time celebrating my friends birthday! The owners are fabulous and so accommodating. We will certainly be back!!!

This is the best winery in the area. They're wines are fabulous and the environment is fantastic. Jason and Michael are great hosts and Michael is gifted when it comes to making wines. My favorite is the white is the GV and my favorite red is the Tinto. The Stellar is also really good! And so is the Solar.... They're all good. read more

I give them 5 stars for the beauty of the location, extremely hospitable service, beautiful venue. The wine was hit and miss for those in my party who know far more about wine than I do. A very fun outing, $7 for five tastes,or $9. Nice venue with plenty of shaded scening.' read more

It's off the road winery. The place is really nice. They also have music during weekends. In addition, they have a fire pit. The owner himself came and lit up the fireplace for us. It's a really cool place to hang out with family and friends. The wines are good. I had an amazing experience. Customer service is superb. I live not too far from there so definitely planning to visit again soon!! read more

This place is so unique! I have not been to anything like it in California, and I kept getting the sense that this is what a California winery may have looked like some twenty years ago. The place is solar powered and in what feels like the middle of nowhere, where nature seems to be the ruler at play rather than the technology that rules the everyday life of me and you (needless to say I tried to withstand checking my email on my Iphone during my visit). We traveled here on several windy roads which made it seem very majestic and secret (I later saw on their website that they advise you not to use your GPS to find the place since they take you on these roads. Fortunately we were ok that day). The location is surrounded by a field of trees (of which were turning colors at my visit) and there seems to be a little lavender farm too. It was breathtaking! The tasting room is big and open with lots of light. There is nothing fancy about it. There are bugs flying everywhere (which I actually find charming). You feel like you are in a really rustic situation, not in some polished Temple like place you find in Napa (I'm specifically thinking of Darioush Winery). We used little bottle caps to keep track of how much wine we'd had. They called it wine money. The first wine we tried was the Briar Patch Dornfelder. This wine was crazy good, and so different from anything I'd tasted before. It was the jam of jameness. I smelled and tasted the most brilliant raspberry taste when I sipped it. It was so pungent that I had no doubt it was a different variety of grape than I had ever tried before. Reading more about it, I realize this is a popular varietal in Germany and that it is very versatile. The other star players of our tasting were the Cabernet Franc and the Tinto. The CF was very good. I must say a lot of times when you drink wine out of the typical wine spots (CA, France, Italy, Spain, etc) you don't think that you're going to get quality, but this CF was in the same caliber as a CF I had at Thomas Fogerty last week. Though I must say it didn't have quite as much of the earthy pepper taste I associate with that varietal, the flavor was still really complex. The Tinto was one of my favorites! It was the perfect not too sweet dessert wine. I liked it about the same as a late harvest dessert wine I got at Dashe Winery this summer. Super delicious! I look forward to coming back here soon. I also will look for them in stores. This place is really great! read more

Of all the wineries in the area, the people at Stargazers are what makes us come back time and time again. Alice is a sweet, wonderful, dedicated, hardworking woman who will talk with you for hours about the wine making process. Stargazers, as a previous poster said, is not frilly. It's not pretentious and snotty, but down to earth and homey. They focus a lot of their efforts on reusing, and also solar power and sustainability. I'm pretty sure I recall Alice saying they have no heating bills! Their wines aren't the standard offerings either, and taste very good. I particularly like the Briar Patch Dornfelder, the Cabernet Franc and the Port. read more

Stargazers Winery, one of several wineries of Southern Chester County, is probably the least frilly while being the most interesting. Stargazers crafts their wine with a high degree of focus on sustainability. They use modern technologies such as solar, eco-friendly agricultural practices, and passive solar design. When we visited we enjoyed a delightfully pleasant and unpretentious tour where the wine was the star but the sustainability was the supporting cast. At the tasting, we both liked the Pinot Gris and several of their other whites and we left that day with some bottles for ourselves and some to share. The picnic area at Stargazers consists mainly of a field and a picnic table, so don't expect the manicured lawns you find at Chaddsford. Stargazers is definitely a more utilitarian experience but well worth visiting to see how wine can be crafted in an ecologically mindful manner. I understand they also do tours for kids to demonstrate how sustainability can be put into practice.

Perfect spot! Live music was very quiet and nice. The wine was good. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back!

They were out of wine already. We had one choice. They kept reserved tables for people who never showed. We were forced to sit out on wet grass on a slope. I guess they have their favorites. No reason to tell the general public that we need to reserve tables. The bathroom has no sink. You have to search around for a way to wash your hands. Most people just didn't wash. Masks seemed optional, since many people walked around without them. We were told that triple fresh would be there making barbecue. It's one of the reasons I came. When I asked about it, I was told just cheese was available. Just ignored the fact that they announced online that triple fresh would be there making food. Starving, thirsty and dirty, we left early. read more

Beautiful views, great wines, and people serving are friendly and helpful. There are plenty of tables for sitting in enclosed tasting room or outside on a nice day. You might see a bunny rabbit or deer while you're enjoying the wine :) What a great way to spend the day! read more

They get four stars for their lack of pretention and by far and away the best Cabernet in the area bottled locally. Their Proprietors Reserve Cabernet Sav is worth the drive. Up on a hill deep into Chester County right next to the vines so you get the aromatic vibe of the place. Wine is good, people are genuine. Take a ride and get lost on this stop on the wine trail. read more

We had the great pleasure of stopping into Stargazers Vineyard yesterday, and we had the best time I've had in quite awhile. Parking was convenient and plentiful, and we were warmly greeted by one of the owners as soon as we walked in. We requested a wine tasting, and found the wines to be scrumptious and unique. The cost for the tasting is $7 for five tastes, plus $2 extra for bubbly. We stuck with mostly whites, the rose', and the champagne they had open. I liked everything I tried. The owner skillfully took care of us while also tending to the other patrons. He helpfully explained that we would be welcome to bring our own food and have a picnic, and that they host special events frequently, including live music once a month. He also kept us entertained with witty banter while we did our tasting, and he invited us to stick around, enjoy a glass after the tasting, and hang out in their spacious and sunny main room. We had a teen boy with us, and he quickly spotted the board games piled up on the side of the room. We got a couple glasses of Brut and spread out at the comfortable large table for a long round of Monopoly while we sipped. It was wonderful to spend a couple of hours with dear friends, laughing uproariously over the game, and not feeling at all rushed. The room quickly filled up with jovial folks who all seemed to be having a blast as well. Honestly, it was one of the best winery experiences I've ever had, and I've been to a LOT of wineries. Everyone in our group said that they couldn't wait to return soon to enjoy many more fun times at the Stargazers Vineyard! read more

It was OK.... the older man who owns the vineyard is very nice. He is trying to make the best he can. The cabs were pretty good for an east coast wine also the Chard... It is better than NJ or NY wines. It's a long and winding road up on a hill... ohhh one problem is that they keep some of the machines they use to peel the grapes etc. in the same area as the wine tasting... soooooo you must keep your mouth shut and not inhale or you will have a bunch of fruit flies buzzing in your mouth... read more

This was the oddest winery I've ever been to and one that I don't plan on returning to. They have a confusing bottle cap system to use for the tasting that they don't explain when you arrive. I provided my passport and the gave me a sheet of paper with the wines they offered listed on it and 5 bottle caps. My MMM (Main Man Muncher) provided his passport and just followed off with me. One table had red wines another across the room had whites. If you are only limited to a few selections, I'd much prefer the wine to be poured at the same station so to better assess the selections and so that I don't taste a sweet white then a dry red. Anyways, we go to the white table first and try a wine. They ask for the wine money and I had no idea what they were talking about. Bottle caps, said the lady pouring the wine. I had mine, but after getting his passport stamped my MMM had to go back and collect his bottle caps. Don't know why they didn't tell him to take them with him when he got the passport stamped. The wines were alright. Some were tasty, but nothing that wowed me. Like many of the wineries on the Brandywine trail, the cost is greater then the quality. Lastly, the bathroom was one of the creepiest I've ever been in and the sink was on top of the tank using recycled tank water. Thank god for the bottle of hand sanitizer in my purse! I'm all for going green and the sustainability thing, but that just seemed unsanitary to me. One winery that I do not plan on returning to. read more
