Glades Pike Winery — Attraction in Jefferson Township

On our way home from a wedding in Pittsburgh, we decided to stop for a tasting and a glass. First off, the location is great being between the two exits off the Turnpike and being directly off of 30 so you can parallel the Turnpike which means it isn't too far out of your way. Then, when we arrived, we were greeted and had a wonderful conversation with who I assume is the owner, as we completed our tasting. He was knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions.

We stayed as Harvest Host guests and enjoyed a delightful afternoon. The staff were so welcoming and our conversation with them was easy as we shared stories. They also provided "spot on" guidance based on our preferences in selecting wines for our tasting. We liked all five we tried but were pleasantly surprised and loved the semi-dry red wine, Baco Noir.
