This small winery is located near the town of Schellsburg and is operated by Rodney and Janet Giesel. The winery boasts of a small but nice tasting room which will ensure that you won't walk away without buying something! There are a number of wines to choose from and all tasted by this waymarker were quite good.

Signs to the winery were discovered leading west from PA 96 at Hoover RD - a detour worth taking!
