We have been to Banter's Hard Cider twice now and have not been disappointed. It's a comfortable little bar and the ciders are excellent. Get a flight of all six or seven and you are almost guaranteed to walk out of there with at least one growler. The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful

We fell in love with Three Hammers the first time we went there. It is such a warm and welcoming location with great people and delicious wine. We live about 2.5 hours away but were planning a wedding at Woodloch which meant we were up in the area a lot. Every trip we made up to the area we made a point of stopping for a glass of wine and to restock with “a few” bottles of wine to hold us over till our next visit. The staff is always very friendly. The owners were always welcoming and very happy to show us around and share their story with us. We ended up falling in love with the property so much that we spoke to Rob and Christine (the owners) about having our first look for our wedding on their property and I am so happy we did. We could not have asked for a better backdrop for our first look. After we finished with our moment, Rob came over to say hi and congratulate us. After so much build up to that moment, I was so happy we were in a relaxing atmosphere and were able to enjoy a nice glass of wine.

Cherry Valley Vineyard-Sorrenti

Reviewed By 179cynthiaf - Fair Lawn, United States

Popular, off the beaten path vineyard. Restaurant with Italian menu. Almost every table orders pizza, which looked good, but we didn't. We enjoyed the cheese plate which included honey, almonds, grapes, Lavash crackers and five different Italian cheeses. I did the sangria tasting in the restaurant, which included 5 flavors of sangria. I also drank a full cup of peach sangria which was one of the sweeter ones and enjoyed eating the fresh peach slices that were included. We were fortunate to visit on a weekend when there was live music. In the afternoon, the musician played on the porch outside the tasting room. In the early evening, the musician performed on the large covered porch of the restaurant. We enjoyed sitting in one of their several gazebos and on various benches throughout the grounds. You are not permitted to bring outside food or beverages onto the grounds. This place is a hidden gem.

Reviewed By UriusT - Vilnius, Lithuania

Wonderful local brewery and winery which I try to visit anytime I'm around the area. Friendly, helpful, and family owned business: Nimble Hill makes you feel good about your purchase. The beers are quite good, and consistent, albeit generally simpler than the most creative breweries. Can't recommend the Outpost enough.

Blue Ridge Estate Winery

Reviewed By vnhaas92 - Bethlehem, United States

Came here on a lovely 60 degree day in January. The wine here is fantastic!! I did a tasting (the samples were huge!) and had a glass of wine which we were able to enjoy outside on the lovely patio area and were provided with a sweet view of the vineyard and what appeared to be a Christmas tree farm. The tasting is $7 and you can sample 5 wines. There were many options to choose from and so many unique flavors that I've never heard of anywhere else such as a cucumber flavor, which was awesome by the way. I loved the glitter wine, mainly because well, edible GLITTER!! The orange moscato was another good one as well as the various wines that were aged in whiskey barrels. So good! Definitely plan on going back as this is my new fave winery!

Great option for vegan wine lovers! Wonderful experience. Stopped in for a tasting, and discovered that all of their wines and most of their ciders are vegan friendly. Spoke with the owner Misty, who is so kind and provided us with a detailed description and flavor profile for each wine. Thanks for serving it Vegan in the Pocono Mountains! Highly Recommend!!

Cute little place on the edge of town by the train station. We went to Jim Thorpe as towns were opening up from the Coronavirus pandemic. Delighted that this winery was open. Nice simple wood decor with tables & chairs set up for comfort & social distancing. The ladies working there were very friendly. They were selling by the glass but not yet fully open for tastings. Nice menu selection & also 2 specialty drinks available that day. The sangria was delicious. We did leave with a bottle of wine. Will definitely stop in again when in the area.
