Beautiful place and ambience but terrible service. We were told when we arrived the kitchen closes at 8pm and to order appetizers now. We did order one appetizer and two glasses of wine. The menu had a small limited meal selection of mainly fried foods that you can order at Applebees. Therefore I ordered a salad with shrimp. It took forever before the waiter came back to see if we needed a refill. When he finally returned, he gave us room temperature tap water and bread plates with no bread. We waited, no appetizer. When the food came, So did the appetizer. What’s the point of an appetizer, when it arrives with the meal? I got the salad and it looked like it had 3 fried chicken nuggets on it, which costed an extra 8 dollars. My husband ordered the steak medium which was over cooked. The salad was old and sitting around and you could tell because of how soggy and over dressed it was to hide the wilting lettuce. So $99 later, I was still hungry and spent way too much on nothing. We would have had better service at McDonalds and probably better food. Note to the owners-You shouldn’t hire 16 year old kids to serve at such a nice place without proper training.

Nice grounds. Love a couple of their wines. Shamong red and and Lambrusco. Went to a witches event near Halloween and had a great time.

My husband & I visited this past Saturday and it was so nice! We sat at the bar for a wine tasting and Al (bartender) did such a great job explaining each wine to us. We did not feel rushed and had a great overall experience. We will be back for sure!

Pretty much perfect. That was my experience at Valenzano Winery for my wife’s 65th surprise birthday party. Considering the milestone and the 55-person guest list, it was important to get it right. Valenzano crushed it. Every aspect was superb. The private Barrel Room is a very cool and unique setting. The food was amazing - people raved about it. The Prime Rib was especially delicious. This was not your ordinary buffet food. The wines were great and the ability to offer so many different varieties (I chose 10) added to the fun. There was a variety for everyone and an ability to sample many. I started the inquiry in October, and Mary Valenzano always promptly replied to my numerous questions as I planned this out over all those months. When the day arrived, Mary was present throughout and made sure everything was satisfactory from the time of arrival until the departure that took too long because no one wanted to leave. So many guests came up to me with compliments on the day. Mary’s team of wine and food servers was unfailingly friendly, cheerful and helpful. I'm so thankful I chose Valenzano for this event.

Squid ink pasta with shrimp was delicious

They had a vegan menu option at their wine pub. Delicious cauliflower steak with roasted vegetables. It was seasoned beautifully and paired beautifully with their peach wine.

I was a fan of Valenzano wines before from just purchasing in traditional liquor stores and at their location in Berlin, but coming to the restaurant and having the full on wine tasting experience? A MUST! The restaurant is quaint and the service was great. Sarah took care of my friend and I like we were her girls from home. She gave us recommendations and made us feel comfortable throughout- even though we cheer for different football teams 🤣. 10/10 RECOMMEND and that's not the 🍷 talking 😌.
I just drank an entire bottle of my favorite wine. Shamong Red. It’s the greatest wine I’ve ever tasted. Valenzano’s makes the greatest wines.

Nothing like a good winery. They do excellent wine pairing suggestions for all of the meals that are offered, which can make a huge difference with wine made in house. Have to give a big shot out to Matt our server for top notch service: the water, wind, and food was all there on time no delays without ever having to ask for a menu or a refill.

The owner ignored my email inquiry at first, and then tried to sell me the wine over 3x of the price. Very disappointed custom service experience.
