Weathered Vineyards Ephrata

The atmosphere is wonderful, the wines are delicious, and there's great music as well! What a fantastic discovery in Ephrata, PA! I really appreciate the local vibe.

We spent several hours outside catching up with our friend, during which we ordered over $100 worth of wine and food, and there were only a few other patrons that evening. However, we encountered conflicting information regarding closing times; the details on their website and social media didn't match. At one point, a young server helped us settle our bill, and we asked about their closing time. He mentioned that the kitchen and bar would close within the hour but reassured us that we could stay as long as we wanted since we were outside. About an hour later, an older gentleman—who I believe was the bartender and possibly the owner—approached us with an irritated tone and said, "You needed to leave an hour ago, so you need to go." He stood there watching us as we packed up and left. If it weren't for this unpleasant experience, I would have happily returned, as everything else about this place is quite nice. I recommend that management align their operating hours across their website and social media and ensure that all staff members are aware of the policies regarding outside guests who aren't staying on the property.

We had an amazing dining experience with absolutely delicious food! We tried the sampler platter, chicken shawarma, and brisket, all of which were fantastic. To top it off, we enjoyed frozen peach and Grigio slushies, as well as a blueberry cooler. The Harmony Brothers serenaded us, creating a wonderful atmosphere. We had a lovely time and can’t wait to return!

The wine tasting room is nice to just have a decent flight, plate to eat and sit with a friend. It's a pretty small room so I wouldn't recommend groups. The wine itself was pretty fair but I didn't find one I liked enough to buy a bottle.

Stopped here on a whim. The gentleman, who was one of the owners, didn't seem very excited or enthused when we told him it was our first time visiting. As the place is also a bed and breakfast we made some general inquiries but he didn't seem to want to share much about it with us. The outdoor area was nice, with lots of seating options. The wines are definitely a dry selection so that's more of a matter of personal preference. They offered local craft beer if some in your party enjoy beer more than wine. Will we be back? Hard to say...
