galer estate vineyard and winery

My wife and I stopped in after Longwood Gardens to purchase a few bottles. We had our 18 month old with us and there were no other people there when we went. The staff member was helpful and the building and decor were of a beautiful rustic nature. We were able to taste about 4 or 5 wines and we purchased three different types. We would gladly return when the place is busy in the evening.

GO here just to appreciate the artful way they made this barn intoa winery......love the massive entrance gates, amazing stainedglass window from a church far far away.....really well donedecorating. Loved the white wines, reds may need a few more yearsas they all do but GO see this beautiful property and whilethere don't miss longwood gardens around the corner, largestbotanical garden in USA

A boutique winery yards from Longwood Gardens. Wonderful staff, location and atmosphere. Reasonable pricing. A must 2+ hour place to visit. I live in the area and recommend to all my visiting friends. Low key, kid friendly. Reluctantly I share my review here-I'd much prefer to keep it as an insider's hideaway.

what a peaceful visit the day after Longwood Gardens wine tasting dinner. We tasted several other offerings from the night before as well as some of the new offerings ended up purchasing half a dozen of there early entries. could not go wrong.. The serving crew were extremely friendly and very helpful. lovely visit throughout the wine making procedure and country side. looked over the fence at Longwood.

What an extraordinary way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Superb service from Kate and Mackenzie! Friendly, non condescending, knowledgable people make this a top spot for enjoying fall weather. Beautiful grounds, very charming tasting room, solid music, and the wine was divine. Give the Cab Blanc a go! Highly recommend.

Great experience. The wines, particularly the whites, we're delicious. We also got the little bread and cheese packages, both we're locally made and amazing! And the woman who helped us was just SO pleasant and gave us great tips on where to go in the historic Kennett Square downtown area, all three of which we visited and loved!!

Wine tasting in a beautiful room tastefully decorated by the artist co-owner. Mackenzie, one of the servers, is friendly and knowledgeable. Lovely view of the vineyard from the patio. Some of the wines are surprisingly delicious; my favorite is a Cabarnet Franc dessert wine. Four one-ounce tastings is $10 plus tax. Check their website for the live music schedule; it might be Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings from 4-6 or 5-7.

This place has that "Cheers" kind of feel to it with people who are obvious regulars and those who are new. When it is crowded it takes on a different feel, but it always has one of those friendly charms to it. The rustic barn addition is tastefully appointed and the deck is a lovely place to sit with a friend and enjoy the countryside. Unencumbered by the chachkis found in some wineries, Galer's is all about the wine. Their pourers are knowledgeable and friendly and the wines consistently good. Check out their site or get on the mailing list for the Thursday art events and others during the weekends.

Patty,We are sorry to hear you had an unpleasant experience in our tasting room. Hidden away in Chester County we are zoned residentially and cannot always accommodate a high volume of guests which is unfortunate as we enjoy making each guest's experience as unique as possible. As a boutique winery we do not operate as a commercial facility, thus the winery only having tastings and bottles for sale which is our main purpose as a tasting room. We hope to see you again and anticipate your next experience being a pleasant one.Cheers!

Stopped in for a tasting and stayed for wine and cheese on the deck. There was live music and the view was beautiful. If we were to go again, we would pack our own picnic. A great place to meet friends and sip wine.

We enjoyed a perfect summer evening capped with fireworks at the Galer Estate vineyards and winery. The setting is wonderful - striking view, great ambience. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. The wines we tried (Sauvignon blanc and rose) were crisp and light, well paired with cheese and veggies A taste of the cab franc suggested a return visit - soon. Brava to the owners - this is one to watch.

Galer Estate has a large deck with tables & chairs, and they welcome you to bring your own food to accompany their wine. Yesterday we met some friends and spent a couple hours on the deck with a variety of appetizers and multiple glasses of wine. (Next time we might just buy by the bottle, but it was fun to sample different varieties this time.)We thought their Clockmaker Chardonnay was quite good, and the Sauvignon Blanc lover among us was very impressed with that choice. We also enjoyed the Cabernet Franc, which we're not real familiar with. It was a very light wine, which was a surprise, but excellent on a warm afternoon. There are about a dozen wines on the menu, mostly $9 a glass (generous pour) or $25 a bottle. Is the wine better than the $15-$20/bottle California wines we usually buy? Probably not. But it's a local winery for us, and they are making very nice wines. We like to support them when we can.Live music starts around 5, and it was enjoyable. It's just a perfect way to spend a summer afternoon, sipping wine and sharing good food with friends while overlooking the thriving vineyards in the rolling hills of Chester County. I've read there's a "pop-up art exhibit" on Thursdays, featuring a different local artist -- in a variety of mediums -- every week. I definitely want to get back for that.

great staff --they were no pushy & were very willing to serve us anything they had during our wine tasting.

great location with a beautifull view-tasting room very accomidating-staff well trained-the wine surprizingly of good quality-a place to visit!

The winery is beautiful and I can not wait to go back in the nicer weather and enjoy the outside deck. The tasting room was nice and the staff was friendly. The tasting was a little pricey $10 for 4 tastes. They were good pours. The glass was an additional $10. The wine was very good but I was uncomfortable spending that much for a Pa wine. It is a good trip especially if you enjoy dry wines. Their ice wine was also incredible.
