Briar Valley Vineyard & Winery

The wine is wonderful. Jaimie helped us pick out the perfect wine for our occasion. Will revisit.

Excellent wines!!! Was pleasantly surprised. Also loved the vintner — very friendly & informative. Definitely recommend stopping in for a tasting. You won’t be sorry!

Never expected to try such wonderful wines in the mountains of PA! They grow old world varietals and are excellent across the board. I say this as someone who has worked as a wine educator and has tasted many wines from around the world. The $ 5 tasting fee is a steal, offering a taste of 11 wines (6 white, 1 rose, 4 red). Our favorites were the 2013 Pinot Gris, the 2011 Gewürztraminer, and the 2013 Cabernet Franc. They really capture the old world feel of these wines, and we bought a couple of bottles to take home. The tasting room is beautiful and cozy, in the middle of a sweet historic town. Our only gripe was the young lady working, who was hard pressed to crack a smile, and didn’t engage at all beyond very rudimentary tasting notes, most of which were already written out on our description sheet. A little personality would have gone a long way.

Outstanding wines and the tasting fee is only 5 $.
Yessiree — that’ll do pig. That’ll do.

Stumbled upon this place by complete accident, and it was completely worth it. I never would have guessed Pennsylvania would have decent wine, let alone what tho place had to offer. For $ 5 you get to taste about 12 wines, all from Pennsylvania (and they pour you enough that if you don’t nibble on the finger food they give you, you’ll probably walk out tipsy). Most of them are whites (Riesling, a Riesling blend, a Gewurtraminer which was awesome). But they also have about 5 reds. As somewhat of a wine snob, I was very impressed. I’m also a big Riesling fan, though I’m pretty picky with my Rieslings, and I really enjoyed the Riesling they offered, as well as the Riesling blend (they called it their Alpine White). The servers were great, very helpful, very informative and knowledgeable, and just good conversation. We walked right in, no wait, and walked right up to the bar.
I walked out buying 3 bottles, and I’ll probably buy more in the future (you can order). The prices are very reasonable for what your getting (Bottles range from $ 13 to $ 24, which is nothing). All in all, great find, wonderful way to start the afternoon off.

What a fun place! The $ 5 tasting is an unbelievable value. A tasty variety of wines served in a warm beautiful room by friendly Troy who has a generous pour. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Walked away (just a little drunk) with three delicious and reasonably priced wines. Don’t miss it.

This was a great place to walk into while exploring Bedford. The staff were great and really knew their wines and the details and specifications behind the specific wines.
The wines we sampled were all very good and they had some neat wine accessories available for sale.
We ended up buying one bottle of wine to take with us. Who knew you could get decent wine in PA?

This is one of the best Wineries you will probably find in the entire state of Pennsylvania. They have a wonderful Rose as well as a great Gewürztraminer! Having many of the finger lakes wines as well as southern California, and Virginia this wine is just as good if not better than those who are highly acclaimed. If ever in downtown Bedford be sure to check this place out. You’ll be glad you did!
