Pocono Wineries and Breweries: 24 Stops, Sorted by Type

One of the Poconos' longest-running craft breweries, pairing house-brewed ales and lagers with a full restaurant menu in a rustic, family-friendly setting near Camelback. The brewery's tenure in the region gives it a well-established, reliably good lineup of house beers, and the full restaurant menu means it works as a complete meal stop rather than just a tasting. Its proximity to Camelback makes it a natural apres-ski or post-adventure-park stop for a group already in the area.

Blue Ridge Estate Vineyard & Winery sits on Blue Ridge Road in Saylorsburg, on a hillside property with views over its vineyard rows, the surrounding mountains and an adjacent Christmas tree farm. Started by the Detrick family, it makes small-batch wines across a broad range: dry and sweet reds, whites, rosés, specialty blends and sangria. The main building has a long wine bar, a wraparound deck and a large patio, and visitors are free to walk among the vines. Food centers on brick-oven pizza and cheese boards, with catered dinners on Friday and Saturday nights. Live music runs on weekends, and a private Underground Room offers a smaller curated tasting with snacks. The winery is open year-round, which makes it a reliable option in the off-season. Blue Ridge also runs retail stores in Tannersville and the Lehigh Valley.

A multi-generational, locally owned Jim Thorpe brewery specializing in low-ABV, session-style ales, with a taproom in the historic district and a rotating food truck out front. The focus on session-style, lower-alcohol beers makes it a good stop for an afternoon of steady drinking without the effects of higher-ABV craft beer, and the rotating food truck means there's usually something to eat on-site without needing to plan a separate meal. Its historic-district taproom location makes it an easy add-on to a Jim Thorpe shopping or dining day.

Cellar Beast Winehouse in Jim Thorpe is the satellite tasting room of Cellar Beast, a veteran- and woman-owned winery founded in 2021 in Andreas, in Schuylkill County. It opened in May 2026 inside The Y on Broadway hotel at 69 Broadway, in the center of the historic district. The wines are made in Pennsylvania from grapes bought from West Coast vineyards, mostly in Washington and Oregon, in a French-influenced, fruit-focused style. The list covers reds such as Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, along with Chardonnay, rosé and sparkling wine. Guests can order a glass, share a bottle or work through a tasting, and a small selection of beer and cocktails covers anyone not drinking wine. An outdoor patio looks onto downtown Broadway. Visitors who want to see where the wine is made can continue on to the main winery in Andreas.

Here & Now Brewing Company is a 7-barrel brewery and restaurant on Main Street in downtown Honesdale, set in the former Woolworth's building. The interior keeps the exposed brick and original tin ceiling, with custom murals and a wood-topped bar. Beer is brewed on site and sold only here, and the rotating list runs from crisp lagers and IPAs to stouts and farmhouse ales, with house-made hard sodas and teas as well. A one-barrel system is used for small experimental batches. The kitchen cooks from scratch and buys from local farms when it can; the menu changes, but pizza is a staple. There is also a craft cocktail bar and a gift shop stocked with locally made goods and curated beer. Weekly programming has included trivia and live jazz and other music, which makes it a good evening stop after walking Main Street.

Known For: Lagers, IPAs and Farmhouse Ales

Jam Room Brewing Co. is a music-themed brewery and taproom on Creamery Road in Greentown, just off Interstate 84 along Route 507 in the Pocono Lake Region. It was started by five longtime friends who wanted to combine craft beer and live music, and in 2023 the brewery installed a new 10-barrel brewing system. The house list rotates through session ales, a brown ale, IPAs, a lager, a golden ale, a hefeweizen and stouts, along with cider and seasonal collaborations. Food comes from Sound Bites, the restaurant inside the brewery, which serves shareable plates, sandwiches, nachos and mac and cheese, plus a kids' menu. Live performances by local and regional acts are central to the place, and the schedule is posted on the brewery's website. A patio adds outdoor seating in warm weather. It is a practical stop for families and groups in the Lake Wallenpaupack area.

Known For: Session Ales and IPAs

Log Tavern Brewing Co. opened its Milford taproom in November 2018, founded by Ryan Scott and Joe Fischer after years of homebrewing. The brewery occupies a converted light-industrial building on East Harford Street that the owners largely built out themselves, with hand-welded bar stools, reclaimed schoolhouse slate and other salvaged materials giving it a rustic, log-cabin feel. The wooded site overlooks Raymondskill Ridge and Sawkill Creek, and the outdoor area has fire pits and open seating. All Log Tavern beer is brewed here, and the tap list rotates through IPAs, hazy IPAs, stouts, cream ales, sours and seasonal releases. Food is limited to casual snacks such as personal pizzas and pretzels, so plan dinner elsewhere in Milford. Live music is a regular feature. The same beers are also poured at the brewery's larger second taproom in Tafton, near Lake Wallenpaupack.

Known For: IPAs, Stouts and Cream Ales

The Tafton taproom is Log Tavern Brewing Co.'s second location, opened in 2024 on Route 390 a few minutes from Lake Wallenpaupack. All of the beer is brewed at the original Milford brewery, so the tap list carries the same house range of IPAs, hazy IPAs, stouts, wheat beers and cream ales, along with wine, mixed drinks and four-packs to go. The property covers more than nine acres, and the timber-frame taproom opens onto a large outdoor area with a stone fireplace, fire pits and two covered pavilions that add seating and host live music. The kitchen keeps it simple with personal pizzas, pretzels, empanadas and snacks, and local food trucks rotate through on weekends. It suits a stop after a day on the lake or a relaxed evening outdoors with a group.

Known For: House Ales and IPAs

The Mad Hatter Winery & Smokehouse is a family-owned restaurant and wine bar at 111 Broadway in Jim Thorpe that pairs its own wines, made from local grapes, with smoked meats and seafood. The decor plays on the Alice in Wonderland theme its name suggests. The menu centers on the smoker, with pulled pork and brisket sandwiches, ribs, and smoked salmon and catfish, supported by soups, salads, sides, and gluten-free and vegetarian options. Sundays start with a breakfast service, and there is live entertainment on weekends. Seating includes an outdoor porch, and the restaurant welcomes both families and dogs, which makes it one of the easier sit-down meals on Broadway for groups traveling with children or pets. It is closed early in the week, so check the schedule before planning a visit around it.

Known For: House Wines and Smoked Meats

Mauch Chunk Brewery is a small brewery and taproom at 67 Race Street in the historic center of Jim Thorpe, named for the town's original name. It is one of the newer places to drink in town, appearing in 2025. The house list sticks mostly to approachable styles: IPAs including a hazy version, lagers and a pilsner, a wheat beer named for Race Street, a bock and a seasonal Oktoberfest. House ciders, including a honey lavender cider, give non-beer drinkers an option. The kitchen serves comfort food for dine-in or takeout, and there is limited outdoor seating. Race Street runs off Broadway, so it is an easy addition to a walk through the downtown shops and restaurants, and it works well for a casual lunch or an afternoon pint between other stops in town.

Known For: Craft Beer and Cider

A rare all-in-one operation producing wine, craft beer, and spirits on the same Stroudsburg farm property, with a full restaurant, live music, and sweeping mountain views from the outdoor patio. Few venues in the region combine all three — wine, beer, and spirits — under one roof, which makes it a strong choice for a group with varied drink preferences who don't want to visit multiple stops. The full restaurant and regular live music turn it into a legitimate evening-out destination rather than just a tasting room.

Known For: Apple Pie Moonshine

Nomad Distilling Co. is a family-owned craft distillery founded in 2018 by Frank and Sarah Kudlack, who bought the former Mountain Top Distillery outside Williamsport and named the business after their own moves around the country. The Jim Thorpe tasting room opened in 2022 and is one of several, alongside Williamsport and New Hope. It works as a tasting bar and bottle shop: visitors can sample the roughly ten house spirits, order a mixed cocktail, or buy bottles, canned cocktails and gift boxes to take home. The range covers bourbon and whiskey, a bramble that blends wine and spirit, and several flavored moonshines, with seasonal releases rotating through. It is a compact stop that fits easily between other downtown visits. The Kudlacks have deepened their ties to the town since opening and in 2025 also bought Kelly Suites on Broadway, a small historic inn.

Known For: Small-Batch Whiskey and Moonshine

A Swiftwater taproom and restaurant brewing small-batch craft beer on-site, with a full kitchen menu and a patio that stays busy through the warmer months. The combination of on-site brewing and a genuine kitchen menu makes it a reasonable dinner stop as much as a beer destination, and the patio is a popular spot to linger on a warm evening. It's a solid, lower-key alternative to the region's bigger-name breweries.

RAW Urban Winery & Hard Cidery opened on Main Street in downtown Stroudsburg in 2015 and describes itself as the Poconos' first urban winery. It is run by winemaker Matthew, a Stroudsburg native, and his wife Misty, who makes the hard ciders. The wines are made in a Napa style and include Misty Love, an oak-aged Cabernet blend, a Malbec called 98, a Super Tuscan-style blend, Pinot Grigio and Moscato. The small-batch ciders use foraged herbs and organic flowers: Sweet Gypsy is made with hibiscus and honey, and Oaky O'Shea is aged in whiskey barrels and finished with local maple syrup. The wines are vegan and the ciders gluten-free. Wine is served by the glass, the bottle or as a tasting, with cider on tap. The same space runs the RAW Organic Coffee Bar, serving coffee, matcha, chai and mocktails. The Sherman Theater is a short walk away.

Radical Wine Company is an urban-style winery in Mahoning Township, just outside Lehighton, founded in 2014 by Brandon and Kate Borger. Working like a craft brewery, it sources grapes from established growing regions and makes small batches on site, with a list of roughly 20 wines that leans toward sweet and semi-sweet styles but includes dry reds and whites. Several specialty wines raise money for local animal shelters and rescues. Beyond wine by the glass, the menu covers sangrias, wine slushies, Pennsylvania draft beer and cocktails. A popular novelty is the float flight: wine-infused soft-serve ice cream topped with a choice of wines or sangrias. Seating is first come, first served, indoors and outdoors. The winery hosts live music and food truck nights through the year, so check the schedule if you want to eat on site.

Known For: Sweet Wines, Sangrias and Slushies

A working farm winery and cidery near Lake Ariel producing fruit wines and hard ciders from apples grown on-site, with a tasting room that keeps a genuine farm-stand feel. The focus on fruit wines and hard ciders, rather than traditional grape wines alone, gives the tasting menu a distinctive regional character built around what actually grows on the property. It's a lower-key, more rustic stop than some of the area's larger wine-trail destinations, which is part of its appeal.

Runaway Train Brewery opened in 2023 at 2 Chapel Street in Honesdale, in the building that once housed the Irving Cliff Brewery, right beside the historic Delaware & Hudson rail line. It is operated by Honesdale's Settlers Hospitality group, and the railroad theme carries through the decor and the murals by local artists. The house beer list rotates through about a dozen taps of ales, IPAs, lagers, porters and stouts, served by the pint, by the flight or to go. The full-service kitchen turns out pub food such as smash burgers, wings, a Cuban sandwich and beer-battered fish and chips. Upstairs is a game room with pool and darts, and outside there is a pet-friendly patio with seasonal seating beside the tracks. Live music is offered on select nights, and the brewery also takes private party bookings.

Known For: Ales, IPAs and Lagers

A family-run winery and distillery on a working Saylorsburg farm, with an on-site pizzeria, extensive tasting flights, and vineyard views that make it a popular stop on the Pocono wine trail. Being a working farm as well as a winery and distillery gives it a genuinely agricultural feel, with vineyard rows visible from the tasting room, and the combination of wine, spirits, and on-site pizza makes it easy to turn a quick tasting into a full afternoon. Extensive flight options make it a good stop for a group wanting to sample broadly before committing to bottles.

Three Hammers Winery makes small-batch wines on a restored 15-acre homestead on Welcome Lake Road outside Hawley, in the Pocono Lake Region. Wines are handcrafted on site in a classic style, and the list includes Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc and an oaked Chardonnay, with seasonal releases. Tastings in the rustic-chic tasting room feature rotating selections. The grounds are a large part of the visit: a pond with Adirondack chairs, a nature trail and patio seating in summer, and a stone fireplace with heated outdoor seating in winter. Live musicians play most Saturdays in season, and the winery also hosts art receptions and sip-and-paint events. Food is light, built around cheese boxes and boards from its sister shop, Milford Wine & Cheese Co. The 1820 Hammer House on the property is available as a vacation rental.

This is the downtown Stroudsburg tasting room of Tolino Vineyards, a family-owned winery established in 2007 that grows its grapes and makes its wine at its vineyard in Bangor, Northampton County. The wine bar sits on North 7th Street at Courthouse Square, just off Main Street. Tolino's list runs from dry varietals such as Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio to rosé and sweeter fruit-forward blends, served by the glass, by the bottle or in tasting flights. The bar also pours local craft beer on draft, Pennsylvania spirits and seasonal cocktails, along with sangria and wine slushies. Food is light, centered on cheese plates and chocolate pairings. A seasonal outdoor patio opens in warmer months, and live music nights and special events are scheduled on select dates. It is a convenient stop for a glass of wine before or after dinner downtown.

Known For: Estate Wines and Wine Flights

A downtown Hawley taproom brewing small-batch beer a short walk from Lake Wallenpaupack's shops and restaurants, with rotating seasonal releases and a regularly changing tap list. Its downtown Hawley location makes it easy to combine with a day of shopping or dining in the same walkable area, and the rotating tap list means regular visitors are likely to find something new each time. Small-batch brewing keeps the lineup more experimental than what you'd find from a larger regional producer.

Wild Elder Wine and Cider Co. is a small winery and cidery with a tasting room at 76 Broadway in Jim Thorpe's historic district, run by winemaker Josh Finsel and Amber Finsel. Finsel learned folk winemaking from his father, and the business makes wine and cider from native, wild and locally grown fruit, herbs and flowers from the Lehigh River Valley. Elderberry is the signature fruit, used in its wines and in a sparkling Elderberry Cider Brut, alongside an Apple Cider Brut made in a dry, champagne style. Other pours have included dandelion, black currant and blueberry ciders and grape wines. The tasting room serves flights, cider cocktails and mocktails, with an eatery menu that includes charcuterie and desserts. Seating includes tables out front and a back patio that hosts live music, and the shop holds community events such as First Friday artist receptions.

Wine & More on 1st is a tasting room in a historic 14,000-square-foot former furniture store on South First Street in downtown Lehighton, opened in May 2021 by owner Tina Henninger. It does not make its own wine. Instead it pours and sells wines from Stone Mountain Wine Cellars, a family farm winery in Pine Grove, ranging from very dry reds to sweet fruit wines, along with local spirits and wine slushies. The same building houses its sister business, Carbon Craft Beer Taproom, which pours Pennsylvania craft beer. The approach is try before you buy: samples first, then a glass or a bottle. There is no kitchen, and guests are welcome to bring their own food or order from nearby restaurants. Well-behaved pets are allowed. The Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau currently lists it as temporarily closed for renovations, with plans to reopen in 2027 with a brewery, winery and new food options, so check before visiting.

Known For: Pennsylvania Wine Tastings

Founded in 1829 by German immigrant David G. Yuengling, this is America's oldest operating brewery, still family-owned six generations later. Free 75-minute tours run several times a day, leading through hand-dug 19th-century fermentation caves, the restored original brewhouse, and the modern bottling line still in daily use, finishing with a tasting of two beers. It's less a brewery stop than a genuine piece of American brewing history, and it's worth booking ahead of a Locust Lake visit since weekend tour slots fill quickly.
