Three Hammers Winery — Attraction in Honesdale

My wife and I just returned from a weekend trip to a camping site near Narrowsburg, New York. We often will travel to a couple of the small towns in Wayne County PA to visit restaurants and local shops when we do this annual trip.

As a surprise for my birthday, my wife booked us a wine and cheese pairing at a local winery in Hawley, PA. Admittedly, I was pretty skeptical about what we were going to find there. We both love wine, but have been disappointed by the vineyards in the north east.

Boy was I wrong! First, the winery sits on a beautiful rural spot with a scenic stream and vintage farmhouse. There were many tables outside, with people milling about and seemingly enjoying bottles of wine on the property.

When we went inside, we waited on line to register for our booked wine and cheese pairing experience. Much to our dismay we noticed that there was also another family with three very small children that were also booked for the same experience. This was kind of odd, and we mentioned this to the representative at the counter

He quickly went to the back to talk to his manager about our concerns, and returned to let us know that we were being comped a private experience on the porch of the farmhouse in order to accommodate us. This could not have made us happier.

Our host, Adam, walked us over to the farmhouse, and took us on a brief tour of the newly renovated space. Clearly, a lot of thought and design muscle went into the renovations. It was a beautiful space!

We were led to the outside porch, where the seating for us overlooked the nearby stream. Adam brought over our flight of wine and cheese, and iteratively lead us through each of the pairings with Insightful explanations of each, as well as the history behind the wine itself. He was a wealth of knowledge for any of our questions and brought a good amount of humor to make the experience fun.

We were both blown away by the quality of the wine, and cheese they were paired with. We did not realize that the winery was not a vineyard, but instead shipped the best grapes from Washington state in order to produce the highest quality wine.

My wife and I were so impressed with the winery, that we immediately became wine club members. It was an easy decision, as it was some of the best wine we have had in a very long time.

The next day we decided to visit their winery shop in Pike County PA. We were lucky enough to be there when the owners of Three Hammers were there. They were an absolutely lovely couple who were very well aware of our predicament the day prior, and mentioned that they had personally approved our private experience the day before.

A quality product, over-the-top customer service, and value at the same time makes this winery a no-brainer for future visits. If you are in the area, this...

Winter Review: Recently visited Three Hammers Winery with a group of 7 people in February. We rented an outdoor, but insulated, snow-globe. It kept us warm and comfortable during our over 2 hour stay at the Winery, mind you it was probably under 30 degrees out when we visited. Most of our friends were first timers to the winery and they LOVED the ambiance, and of course the selection of amazing red and white wines (favorites being the Syrah and Home Sweet Homestead). The staff is extremely knowledgeable about the wines and friendly to interact with! Also, I must point out that the staff is constantly cleaning and disinfecting all surfaces, making us feel completely safe and comfortable during our stay! Could not have asked for a better covid-friendly winter day activity!

Spring / Summer Review: Warm, sunny days at the winery are a real treat! The grounds are amazing. Whether you are sitting in the shade, near the pond on an Adirondack chair, or going for a walk on the short nature trail - your visit to the winery will be equally fun and relaxing! The attention to detail clearly shows - from the beautiful wine bottles to the way the grounds are maintained. My fiancé and I loved to stop by the winery for live music on Sunday afternoons - the music was always great. Even with bigger crowds there was always a way to enjoy a great bottle of wine while remaining socially distanced!

We loved the Winery so much that we joined the wine club and can now enjoy Three Hammers from NYC. Thank you to Rob, Christine and the rest of the Three Hammers staff for all you do to create amazing wine and memories for...

My experience at this winery was truly one of the worst. I love going to vineyards/orchards and know that most operate differently, but this was the complete opposite of what you should expect from a winery. It was completely overpriced for what tastes like cheap wine. There seemed to be no structure when trying to get a table as many of the customers were confused as how we should get a table. All of the workers were rude or seemed annoyed when you asked them a question - but Justin who had checked us in, made it a better experience. He was informative, very nice, and eager to assist customers - the rest of the staff, not so much. The food there was what really ticked me off, you have to buy food there to drink a wine bottle due to Covid-19 restrictions (this is not a problem at all) but the overpriced crackers, packets of store bought cheese and deli meats is. There is no real food on the menu besides snacks and definitely is not worth the price. I have never been to a vineyard (also during Covid) that charges you to use a WINE GLASS AT A WINERY? They gave us cheap plastic cups and said we had to pay to use glasses. There is only a pre-fixed wine option for sweet and dry, which wouldn’t be a problem if they were good. We overheard some workers telling customers they did not do tastings on Saturdays but more than half of the customers were already doing it. I don’t like the lying to customers spending their money there, when they can just say they had ran out of the wines, etc. instead of causing confusion. I cannot imagine spending more money here...
