The ice wine at Presque Isle is one of the best I have ever had. The ladies there were wonderful and gave good advice on what wine I needed for the event I have planned. I will certainly go back and not just for the ice wine.
The waterfalls and the meandering stream set the stage for a wonderful visit. The store sells wine and beer making supplies.
This was our first stop on our winery tour of Northeast, Pa. Loved the place. Bought 2 bottles of wine. Prices were reasonable.
We really enjoyed our visit to Presque Isle! We started our visit with a Friday night tasting in their charming tasting room. We were served by a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic member of their staff. We were so impressed by their Marquette we bought a bottle to take back to our cabin to enjoy while watching the sunset. They also have a nice café. There isn't much seating, but we were told that we could call ahead and get some food to go. They have a lovely area beside a creek with some waterfalls that would make a lovely picnic area. We enjoyed ourselves so much we went back the next day to buy three more bottles. It was our favorite winery of the weekend!
We spent a day touring about 8 wineries in the general area and this one was really a nice one. The lady who was pouring the samples was at the top of her game as she accommodated 8-10 people and knew her wines well. There is a room to the side where you can enjoy a simple lunch if you'd like. We bought a few bottles, went on our way and about four hours later stopped by on our way back to our campground to pick up some information to share. The same excellent wine pourer was still at it, with another 8-10 people around her tasting area. Highly recommend stopping by, felt upscale.
During a visit to Erie Wine Country, we stopped here for lunch. My husband had the quiche and I had the seafood bisque. They were both delicious. We each had a glass of dry white wine and we enjoyed them very much.
This is the home of the man who started the wine industry in the Erie/ North East area. Without him and his wonderful wines no one would know where North East, Pa was. Doug Moorhead is a gentleman and his wines speak volumes about his love and knowledge of the product. Just stop...taste...and fall in love with some wonderful spirits ! I don't recall if their were any fee's for tasting as this has now become more common.
I own a commercial winery in NH and have been ordering supplies from PI wine for several years. Doug and team are an encyclopedia on wine making, and are very willing to share their information and make good suggestions on equipment, yeast suggestion, you name it.I would not hesitate to drink their wines or listen to their suggestions on food pairings.Someday I'll get a chance to visit!HeidiOwner/winemaker Newfound Lake Vineyards
A friendly person gave us samples and helped us choose our wine. We bought three bottles and received an additional one free. They also have a small cafe and gift. They have cheese plates, sandwiches and soups.
We regret that our “Dinner Under the Stars” did not meet the standards our customers have come to expect from us. This event was hosted by us and executed by a third party caterer who has performed well for us in the past. This time, that was obviously not the case. They had inadequate, poorly trained staff to work the event, and the lack of training and professionalism showed. We would also agree the presentation of an entrée in foil was inappropriate. While we take full responsibility for all of our events, we only have limited control over those we entrust to care for our guests. This caterer let us down and we have not contracted with them since. To be fair, we note the caterer suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized shortly after the event and his condition may have contributed to his very subpar performance that evening. The owner of Presque Isle Wine Cellars was pouring tasting samples of our wines in addition to the glasses paired with the meal. That generosity was apparently thought to be part of the dinner wine service, and we apologize for the misunderstanding. It is always our goal to provide an outstanding experience for our guests at a fair price. We are embarrassed that we failed our guests with this event. We sincerely apologize and pledge to use the lessons from the evening’s mistakes to improve our future events.
