Galen Glen Winery — Attraction in West Penn Township

My wife and I visited Galen Glen last year. We have been going to the Fingerlakes a couple of times a year for about twenty years, and both know and appreciate German white wine. We were excited to discover that a vineyard in PA was making our kind of wine. Unfortunately our tasting experience was so unsatisfactory, that we will not return. I was excited to learn that Galen Glen had three different Gruner Veltliner wines to taste from vines that had been established for different numbers of years. It promised to be a very interesting tasting. Unfortunately, our server, a daughter in the family, was adamant that she could only pour a very small amount of wine in your glass for each tasting. The way I understand you taste wine is that you sip enough wine to swish it through your entire mouth, and you need to do it twice. There wasn't enough wine in the glass for one good taste, let alone two. The deal was you could taste six wines, and I tasted three, with a double pour of each.

🏅GOLD Medal for service, patience, and kindness!!! 🍷We drove a little while to get here on this hot day of 8.12.2021 and it was nice to be able to sit a few minutes to relax and unwind from the drive 🚗 before starting our wine tasting experience! The place had only two other small groups besides ours and the wine choices are fewer than some other wineries, BUT the wines are excellent!!! 🎉Good Going Galen Glen🍾 We visited Galen Glen a few years ago and it still holds its spot on our chart near the top for one of the best wineries with a nice assortment of excellent tasting wines -dry, sweet, and semi-dry.

Galen Glenn is phenomenal. No other way to describe it. This winery is off the beaten path, but I would highly recommend a visit. The wine tastings are great- the staff are well informed of their wines and grapes used. They have an enclosed outside sitting area to enjoy a glass after a tasting. On weekends, they frequently have events with chefs and a food truck.

Some of my favorite wines that I tried(in no particular order) The Gruner Veltliner, Reisling Fossil Vineyard, and Winter Mountain White.

Can't go wrong with a tasting and try them all. This winery is doing something...
