A welcoming, inclusive gathering place for locals and visitors alike. Live music, food truck, and great wine. Owners Donna and Christian are truly lovely people. Bring your own food if you like as well.

Had the greatest time ever! Nick is the best bartender/sommelier. Donna was also super friendly and accommodating for my friends and I. And obviously the wine is amazing ❤️

My favorite gem of the Berkshires. A place to sit & relax, have a glass of wine, meet new people, see old friends; all while overlooking beautiful views. Donna goes out of her way to make everyone comfortable and welcome.

We love this place. Live music and good food trucks on a Saturday. This place can’t be beat. Donna greeted us when we walked in and directed us to the tables down stairs that had been set up to accommodate more guests. We were still able to hear the music and chat. We enjoy going in the warmer weather as they have tons of chairs to sit outside and enjoy food, wine and music.

This is our go-to venue in Berkshire County during all four seasons. It's perched atop a hill and overlooks a pond in scenic Richmond, MA, just over the border from Pittsfield. We're originally from this area, but now live out of state. But when we're in the Berkshires visiting family, we always make it a point to stop at Balderdash for a glass of wine or to pick up a bottle or two to bring back home with us. We have also given many bottles as gifts, and each one has resulted in a new fan of Balderdash!If you're in the mood for enjoying stunning views of the Berkshire Hills while sipping delicious locally-made wine, then look no further! And if you don't enjoy wine, well, they also have 1-2 beers on-tap. You can bring your own food, and they often have unique food trucks.Check their website and/or Facebook page for really fun and unique events (think Family Feud or a modern version of The Newlywed Game!). They also often have acoustic musicians, so there's always something happening at Balderdash! It's such a cool spot.The owners are Donna and Christian, and they greet and treat their guests like they are old family friends, so we always feel at home. You can also tell that they love their community, and they pour their love back into it via wine and support. They walk the walk.Their wine is absolutely outstanding. In the summer, we love their wine slushies. We recommend mixing the red and the white! It's an adult version of a Slush Puppie! ?If we could give Balderdash Cellars more than 5 stars, we most certainly would. They deserve every accolade.

Beautiful views, great wine and live music. The staff were all nice and very helpful. Will definitely be back!

Fantastic venue, looking forward to the warmer weather to open up the outdoor space. Saw a couple of complaints about not being enough room and a muddy parking lot. Well, if it wasn't such an awesome place, it wouldn't be crowded and I'm not sure how they can control the weather. Had a great time today as usual, looking forward to the next time!
Excellent rose wine. The lobster truck was fantastic! Will be back!

While on a road trip to the northeast, we stopped by Balderdash Cellars for a wine flight. It is on a beautiful property, with plenty of seating inside and outside. The wine was delicious, and also the flight was served in the cutest vials.The staff working were wonderful and patient, helping us make decisions on what to try.They have games to play while you're enjoying your wine, which is fun!Definitely worth stopping if you're looking for a beautiful winery to visit.

This winery was the perfect thing to do during our getaway to the Berkshires. It had a beautiful outdoor seating area with gorgeous views, and the inside had fun live music (with an extremely talented musician) that everyone was so excited about. We met the owner and she was unbelievably friendly and helpful, and the wine was delicious (I had the pinot noir) with generous pours. I will absolutely be returning the next time I visit the Berkshires!
