Vinoski Winery

Absolutely gorgeous venue. First timers who went last night with family to enjoy no bad juju, who played at the winery. 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

We drove just an under an hour to get here, and unfortunately, it just wasn't worth it. They don't serve any wines by the glass, which is a major bummer. They do however have sampler flights, which you just keeping refills to try the ones you're interested in. There was a paint and sip event happening so there was limited seating indoors. It was too cold to sit outside. The service was great but also limited. The winery is on a beautiful property in a grand mansion which doesn't appear to be used at its full potential. I will say that the Blackberry wine was my favorite!

Its our first time at Vinoski and we love it! The grounds are beautiful and the staff is super friendly. We did a quick tasting to figure out what types of wine we like. We came for an event and they had an amazing offer to reserve a table of 5 for $150 and in return we got $150 in gift cards to use on wine and food. The table is basically free. We got our bottles of wine, ordered some of their delicious wood-fired pizzas and enjoyed a relaxing night of good friends, good food and good music. This is a little gem outside of Pittsburgh I didn't even know was out here and so glad we came out here. We will be back!

Amazing ambiance and view. Parking is easy and plenty of seating for any desired proximity to the stage. Great band and song selection the day O visited. Pizza was really good and easy to order. Access to the bar was also easy and fast. Open grounds to walk and enjoy a bit of nature while nursing a beverage and listing to the music. A must visit if in the area.

I have been to Vinoski a handful of times and every time I go it's great! When you pull into the winery you take this giant driveway into the front and are greeted by the ginormous mansion. It is absolutely stunning! There is a ton of parking all over as well. They allow outside food which is awesome. I made a charcuterie board with my sister and we met some friends here. They also happened to have a food truck that day too! They usually have live music on the patio or inside which is always a nice touch to the ambiance. Their wine is pretty good too, one of the best wineries outside of the city in my opinion. They also have a tasting room in the inside so you can sample wines before you buy a bottle. The workers are always super nice and friendly as well!

Check before you get there in case there's an event. There was a wine tasting when we arrived and they would not let us buy tickets. They said they had already sold enough. We were so disappointed. It looked awesome so now I friended them on Facebook and hope to find out about these events, the place is so beautiful

Beautiful outdoor seating and views, live music and great wine at a castle... every girls dream come true!For covid you need to make a good purchase, but they have pizza or wine-able aka the adult lunchable. We got massages at the spa which was very relaxing and wonderful. Highly recommend!

I visited Vinoski Winery for the first time on Saturday. I tried calling 3 different times the morning of to see if we could bring food and how tastings/reservations worked. The automated message never let me speak to a real person. I couldn't find much info on the website or Facebook either, so we decided to wing it! The drive was about 45 minutes from Pittsburgh, but with all the red lights it felt like it took forever to get there! All of a sudden you make a turn into the beautiful entrance to the castle. Once we got up the hill we were told to park in the grass. There wasn't anyone directing people where to go for wine tasting or the concert, but we followed the music. We arrived at 3:30 PM knowing the concert started at 5 oclock. We thought we could tour the house and taste some wines before the show started outside. We kept trying to walk in different doors, but they said wristbands only. We definitely looked lost. The volunteer outside with blonde hair was so sweet and tried to help us. We couldn't find any actual employees outside.She let us in the door that said wrist bands only and showed us where the tasting bar was. We ordered 2 dry tastings, which were $20 each. I thought that was steep for 5 samples. The cashier gave us a ticket which we then took over to the wine bar. She was not friendly at all when I paid or when I asked about where to purchase a bottle.The wine concierge Doug was great. He was super knowledgeable and fun. We each picked out 5 wines from the list to taste. He informed us that they were sold out of about 4 different wines, but the list usually stays the same. I tried the Petite Sirah, Symphonia, Cabernet, Pinot Noir, and Reserve blend.The wines were really good, but lighter than what I expected from a West Coast wine. The grapes come from Washington, Oregon, and California. I wish they would have had their Lodi ZIn because I usually love those! Doug informed us that instead of pressing the grapes, they use free run juice which is the juice that flows from freshly picked grapes during the destemming and crushing process, prior to the pressing process. "When winemakers put the grapes into the winepress, the grapes are stacked on top of each other and the weight of the fruit causes the release of some juice." I have read about this process, but never had wine from somewhere that did this before. The Reserve was a California Bordeaux blend and it was definitely the best wine. I loved how smooth and well balanced it was. They gave us oyster crackers in a little cup at the tasting bar.The house is 12,000 square feet and is now used for bridal showers and special events. We got a table outside and set up all the snacks I brought. Once more people started arriving, they brought full charcuterie plates, and now we know that outside food is allowed. They also make homemade wood fired pizza outside. We got a half plain, half pepperoni pizza and it was really good! The bottom was charred and it was delicious. I would go back for a show or one of their special wine dinners. The sound and lights for the concert was great! It was a fun little day trip.

The Band was great. That's about it ..First time I've ever been to this winery and I wasn't able to taste the wine! Never in my life have I been to a winery during an event and I couldn't taste the wine ! Seriously, they want you to spend $30 a bottle to find out if you like it. They don't know why type of beer they have. If you ask what style beer they have, they will tell you Pennsylvania. Don't know what an IPA is, or a hazy IPA, or even a Hefeweizen! They know water. The know how to add a credit card fee on.They know how to do a mediocre Charcuterie Board.They don't know a good band is bad when you are a poor host.

Great atmosphere, bands, and food!! Couldn't ask for a nicer place to spend an evening and relax
