nissley vineyards and winery estate

My fiancé and I were able to go here and have the best wine we have ever had. We did the tour, which is free for groups of 4 or less I think. Then we sampled some of the most amazing wine ever and we don't drink but maybe twice a month. The prices are really low, wish we had bought more for friends or holiday gifts. We would for sure go here again when we are back on vacation.

We were not planning a wine tour but my son felt we should have a pleasant experience after tasting terrible wine elsewhere. He took us to Nissely Vineyards where our experience was in sharp contrast. Merlot tasted like a merlot worth sharing with friends. My wife especially liked the Rhapsody in Blue. We bought five different bottles total at half the price at Moon Dancer Winery.12/22/14

Just out trying local wineries and happened upon Nissley. Beautiful location and grounds. Not that difficult to get to. Wine tasting was upstairs in the manufacturing room. Not that glamorous. One of the most organized tastings I have ever attend. Wines run from sweet to dry and they start you off with one to taste so they can recommend which direction to go to. No charge for the tasting. Wine prices were good. Restrooms are a bit of a hike, but are clean.

This is one of the older established wineries in the area. In the summer months they have outdoor concerts on Saturday nights. The wines run from sweet to dry and they do not charge for a tasting, like many of the others in the area. The wine prices are very good, much better than some of the other newer wineries and the wine is consistent year to year. You can bring lawn chairs any time you visit and sit out in the very large grassy area to enjoy your wine. I do wish they had some more chairs and tables in case you forgot to bring some along. There is a very friendly golden, named Sophie who likes to say hello (especially if you have some treats). It is a nice ride on Rt. 441and there are acres of vines, although you pass them on the way in, you cannot see them when you are at the tasting room.

At Nissley Vineyards we have held lawn concerts for over 30 years. Beginning as a quiet event with box suppers for an audience of 80, we have grown to become a huge party. Today people say that we are unique in the Central PA area for the beautiful setting and the quality experience that we provide. There are many influences on the admission price of $15. Foremost is that we cannot charge less without attracting a crowd that is far too many for our property. Thank you for your comment. We hope you will continue your annual custom.

We attended a summer, saturday night concert. We arrived and the vineyard was very organized at parking cars and guiding people to the lawn outside the vineyard store. We found a location to picnic (there were over 2,000 people there) and purchased a bottle of wine. The wine was excellent. The band that night played oldies and the dance floors were crowded. But we had a wonderful time! Thank you Nissley Family!

My husband and I decided to give Nissley a try because we actually like their wine a lot, and drink it fairly regularly, it being accessible at a nearby shopping mall store and the local wine & spirits. We were staying in the area at an inn for the weekend, and the innkeeper said we could do a better tour than Nissley. However, because we like their wine so much, we decided to do the visit anyway.We arrived right as it opened at 10am. We were greeted warmly by two ladies on the front porch. They got us set up with our self-guide tour books, and we were on our way. The booklet was informative and interesting. I liked being able to take our time and move along at our own pace since I'm a photographer. The end of our tour was topped off with a free tasting. They lady who did our tasting was personable and sweet. We ended up buying 2 bottles of the Grapeful Dead and 1 bottle of the Raspberry dessert wine, which my husband and I agreed were our favorite. I wouldn't mind visiting sometime for the concert series. That sounds like a lot of fun!

If you have time on a Saturday night this is a must to do on your list , great bands play and food to purchase as well as wine but I would recommend bringing your own Nissley wine with you to avoid the wine line , the crowd to very pleasant and laid back atmosphere . I would also suggest getting there around 6 to get a nice spot there are two dance floors or just dance anywhere as some do . We brought friends from out of town and they are already looking to come back , bring your chairs table and food as all do , no beer allowed , or pets and under 21 . so enjoy adult time . there also is a 15 .00 cash price to get in .

We have visited the winery for tastings, and especially enjoyed the Music in the Vineyard concert on July 5. It was a perfect evening with great weather, sitting in the beautiful outdoor setting while the sun went down and sipping their great wines (My favorite is Rhapsody in Blue.). When the music began, the great band had us and many others dancing all night. Don't like to dance? Then just sit back, enjoy the music, the lovely evening, and each others' company.

Nissley is a nice drive from our neck of the woods, and nicely situated to accomplish other chores. The prices are always really good. This last trip, we got a case for less than $114, which is amazing with PA's tax on wine. The rose' that was on sale was great and a perfect wine for warm weather. We've done the tour in the past and the facility is nice. Highly recommended.

My husband and I had tasted the Nissley wine before at one of their wine taste shops and were excited to visit the winery. The winery itself is out in the middle of no where but it was easy to get to between the GPS and the posted signage on the road. We took the self-guided tour and they give you a binder full of information. We both tried 6 wines and ended up purchasing a nice selection of their wines. The wines are very reasonably priced.

We want visitors to have a good time when they come to our winery, and we are very sorry that you had a bad experience. For large groups, we recommend making a reservation. For some reason, which we don't quite understand, our greeter came across to you as rude. On the positive side, your complaint is a wake up call for us to do better. If your group would like to return, please contact us ahead, and we will gladly waive the tasting fee. We hope you will come back.

I came to this vineyard for the Valenwines Weekend with some girlfriends. The tasting was expertly executed and unique to the other vineyards we had been to. I have had many of their wines but had never visited the vineyard. I'll definitely be back.

Beautiful estate, it was snowing so we couldn't explore too much but they do offer guided and self guided tours. I am very impressed with their dry wines, they were by far our favorites, those grapes are very hard to grow in PA so they definitely have that down. I would want to go back and learn more about the wines, we went on a special weekend and there was a lot of people so we just got served the wine and that was it, no talking or explaining the wines.

Nissley's wines are about the best domestic wines you will ever taste. My wife and and I have traveled to Virginia, and stopped at many wineries. Most have very good wines, but none we have tried were better then Nissleys. If you travel to the Lancaster area in the summer, you have to go to one of their Saturday night lawn concerts. People from all around come to the venues. Bring lawn chairs or blankets, a picnic basket full of food and you will have a great time.
