The staff here are extremely friendly and helpful. Wide selection of wines - you're sure to find something you like.
Tionesta has a market that is only open on the weekends. Red Bandana Winery has a shop. Free wine tasting. I liked most of their wine.
While returning from a Canadian / New York winery tour we passed thru the Allegheny Forest of PA. We stopped at a few winerys there also and got a tip on this new and up coming show case. After finding our way there we found we arrived minutes from their closing. The owner Kate greeted us and insisted we come in and she went to great lengths to accomodate our visit. Her array of crafted wines and gourmet sausage / cheese plates were superb. She even had a stocked humidor of great cigars for the cigar aficionado...The relaxing country atmosphere was soothing while sitting on the large wrap around porch..If you are in the area, make sure you stop in the Red Bandana Winery.
This place is absolutely amazing! The owner Kate welcomed us with open arms when we crashed her father's retirement party by accident. They offered us amazing food and hospitality. We can not thank them enough! We will definitely be returning! Hopefully we will be able to check out Master Blaster next time! Thank you again for your hospitality!
The wine is good and the staff is great. What really sets the place apart, however is the atmosphere that they have created. Unlike too many wineries, Red Bandana did not set themselves up as a store with a little tasting area. Instead, they made themselves a hangout, complete with tables, chairs, a big back porch, and even musicians from time to time. It is a great place to chill out with a couple friends (and a few glasses of wine).
Kate (the owner and artist) is very outgoing, lively, and saavy about her business. She makes all of the wines and art on the wall. The chalkboard paint invites you to leave a little note behind for the next guest or test out your hand at some graffiti work yourself. The wine offerings are delicious and prices are very reasonable. We left with nearly a case of wine, Rebel Red is the staple but the Blackberry is my favorite!
Most of the wines we tried were fruit wines - raspberry, peach, etc. Did not like the dry reds at all. Guitarist there on Saturday night outside on patio - needed to lower the amplification so people could hear each other talk.
My boyfriend and I love this place and would reccomend it to anyone. Everything is decorated so cute. Good hospitality and warming atmosphere. Everyone we talked to, whether staff or customers, were super friendly. Even though they were so busy, the bartenders took the time to explain all the different wines to us, which were all of good quality and reasonably priced. This winery is an awesome attraction and brings life to the area!
I have been coming here since opening day and the winery never fails to please. Katie and Stevette are amazing and sweet. Katies art to beautiful and the wine is delicious for a PA wine. I love the barn, Olivia, the friends and the cozy atomsphere!!
Such a fun place to visit and enjoy with friends !Buy a bottle or two of their wonderful wines, add a custom made cheese plate........and just sit out on the huge rustic porch at one of the little bistro tables to enjoy talking & visiting. Sometimes a small group of musicians show up to entertain for a couple hours. Who knows ha haOr you can go out to the camp fire and sit around in lawn chairs to enjoy nature under the trees.Just a nice place to go with friends and be greeted by the owners like you are a long lost regular visitor LOL
