Explore the Pocono Wineries

Sorrenti Cherry Valley Vineyard 

The Sorrenti Cherry Valley Vineyards sit gracefully at the base of the Appalachian mountains and are nestled comfortably in the Cherry Valley. You can take a guided tour of the winery while tasting award-winning wines and getting to know the story of the Sorrenti family’s legacy. As you indulge in these locally-produced marvels, you can also cherish the breathtaking beauty of the Cherry Valley, home to thousands of wildlife species and the endangered Bog Turtle. 

Eagles Rest Cellars

While you are in the Cherry Valley, visit Eagles Rest Cellars. This winery gets its name from the bald eagles that fly over the property and often choose to rest on the surrounding trees. The vineyard is authentic and family-operated, making it an excellent spot for appreciating new wines, and relaxing under the broad, Pennsylvania sky.

This unique winery was inspired by a recent trend that aims to bring winemaking facilities closer to urban dwellers. RAW Urban Winery is the first of its kind in the Poconos and can be found in the heart of Stroudsburg. RAW’s tasting room creates an industrial yet modern vibe and offers a variety of vegan and gluten-free wines as well as limited release batches of Hard Ciders.
