Giant Oaks Winery - Finleyville

I didn 't realize how long it 's been since we were here last. we tried a few weeks before, but the place was crazy busy. not a seat in the house, standing room only. they were having 2 or 3 different fundraisers going on. we left. we 're not standing room only folk! there were quite a few kids there too.back we went. there was a band playing from 2-5 so we figured, sure, why not. entertainment. when we walked in, the music was in full swing. people on the dance floor. i read that it was a husband wife team that sang 50 's to the 80 's, night star. ok, i 'm 65 now, technicallly over the hill. as we got our seat drinks, we listened looked around. i 'm truly sorry, don 't take this the wrong way when i say most of the people were 70-80, the songs were mostly 50 's 60 's, wedding songs (think the alley cat). it was quite entertaining for us. the dancers were mostly the ladies, like in high school, guys only for slow songs. we love people watching, this was a great! they were definitely busier than our 1st visit! we found a seat at the bar, ordered 2 glasses of wine. i tried the 2017 reserve zinfandel, tom tried the cab the petite verdot. lou didn 't have the time for us like he did on our 1st trip, but i think it was his sister-in-law, kept checking on us.we ordered a small charcuterie board. it came laden with meat, cheese, fruit, chocolate. it was a wonderful start. we sat sipped our wine, listened watched. eventually, we ordered 2 pepperoni pizzas. santoro 's makes some awesome pizza! they were delish as they always are. 3 glasses each, a charcuterie board, 2 pizzas, 2 bottles of wine to go, we were on our way home. looking forward to our next visit!

First time at Giant Oaks Winery, owner and waitress explained everything to us. Owner gave us some samples before we ordered. The wine and moon shine was excellent, also had spinach artichoke dip and cheese and crackers which was delicious. Will definitely go back.

Beautiful venue and the wine slushies are good, however, I highly recommend that you do not host any events here, they ONLY provide you with tables and chairs, and not even the agreed upon amount of tables and chairs, luckily we had some no shows or this would have been a bigger issue, bring your own trash bags and garbage truck, because you are responsible for that also, not an exaggeration at all, we had to bring our own garbage bags and take our garbage with us, $300 to rent the venue and I was the most underpaid employee on staff that day, if you want aesthetics this is the place, just understand you volunteer for them for the day!

Lou and Linda are fantastic hosts! The wine and food are delicious! Really a relaxing and enjoyable time!!

We had a wonderful experience at Giant Oaks, and it exceeded our expectations!Lou, the owner and winemaker, came over to our table to acquaint us with his wines, moonshine, and slushies. I didn't plan to buy a bottle of wine or to try a slushy, but I did both. We had a Groupon for the no food drink tasting that included five one-ounce tastings from their extensive list of wine and a three-ounce wine slushy (I had the white lightning, which tasted like a yummy pear refresher. The tasting also came with a glass of wine of our choice from our tasting. We tried 10 different wines between the two of us, and we preferred the reds. Lou uses grapes from places like California, Chile, and Washington, among others, and the wines capture the taste of the terroir of those regions. I did not expect to find in Pennsylvania! Wow! We enjoyed our tasting with the white and dark chocolate covered popcorn. It was such a nice match with the wines. Seating is available inside and outside. Lots of seating! Artwork decorates the walls, and musicians are often performing inside, with music piped outside too so everyone can enjoy! It looks like they have party rooms too. Something to consider for a shower, anniversary, or birthday party!
