Reviews for Folino Estate in Kutztown, PA
We had our wedding at Folino Estate on 7/23/22- the HOTTEST day of the year, but the best, most beautiful day we could have... asked for. We toured Folino in March 2021 and immediately knew we had to get married here. It was everything we were looking forin a venue, and we both fell in love. Our original day-of wedding coordinator left Folino in the middle of our planning process,so we were nervous about working with someone new at first, but Ayla was professional, easy to work with, and made thetransition seamless. The entire venue is gorgeous- inside and out. Our guests raved about the property and how stunning it is. There are so many beautiful places to take photos throughout the venue, and the view of the sunset is breathtaking. Even thoughthe winery was open to the public during the wedding, we felt secluded and didn?t even notice. The areas we were using for ourwedding were blocked off to the public, and people who were not there for our wedding were respectful of that. The staff thatworked our wedding were incredible. Everyone that we encountered was professional, kind, and accommodating. One of the staffmembers working our wedding was there to solely focus on my husband and I. She made sure we got our food, always had a drink,and that everything was going the way we wanted. The hors d?oeuvres, appetizer station, main food dishes, provided dessert, anddrinks were phenomenal. Everything was a dream! We wish we could relive our wedding day at Folino. It was perfect and exceededour expectations! Read more
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, simply beautiful setting with fine attention to detail and some of the best Eastern wines... I've ever tasted. Visited the winery as a free tasting was included with tonight's stay at a quaint B&B the Vintners Inn alsoowned by the Folino Estate. Both places are rare gems right in the middle of south central PA. Special thanks for the Portsuggestion as it is pairing superbly with my evening cigar. Read more
Food is great! We had my uncle?s birthday here with 12 people. Made a reservation prior. Even though it was crowed as hell the... Serves was still good. Prices were on the medium/to high but you get good portions. Read more
I'll start by saying my wife loves their wine. The place is beautiful and the servers are very kind and do a solid job. That... said, I had to post this because we always loved the sausage/veggies and meatballs (red wine polpette) for take home after themeal. The meatballs are now the size of a nut. I understand the 20% gratuity and price raises based on inflation, but itliterally looks like each meatball was cut in half while the price has gone up 50%. I'd actually prefer you charge more andgive me a legitimate take out app than shrinkflation. Read more

My Princess Leia Star Wars baby shower was held at Folino and it was absolutely amazing!!! We worked with Ayla to plan our event... and she was so communicative and wonderful!! The barrel room is gorgeous with amazing chandeliers and a rustic but industrialfeel. The food and wine was so delicious and our amazing bartender kept the drinks coming with her own Star Wars bar decor!!Thank you to Ayla and everyone at Folino for making my dream baby shower come true!! ????????????????????????

I NEED this place to be closer to Philly. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I want to get married there. The building was so... pretty and the outdoor set up was breathtaking. I was obsessed from the moment I walked in. The pizza was delicioussss and thewine was even better. We bought a bottle to bring home which was very affordable. The service was great and they have othersuggestions on where to go around town which were also great. The manager came to check in and was very nice. 10000/10 Read more
We found Folino from a Facebook add that reported the top 10 wineries in PA, they were ranked #2..... of the 10 we had yet... to visit here..... so we turned a day trip to an all day overnight experience.... this place is 100% absolutely the bestvineyard experience in PA AND Northern Virginia we have been to yet.... The personal wine educator tasting and there actuallylistening to our input as to what we liked / disliked was spot on... We learned a fair amount even though i "thought i knew" onwhat makes a wine and the subtle differences between them. The dining experience was exactally the same, simple yet complexwith fair patient and welcoming staff servers. We were then greeted and offered an evening under the stars on the patio commonareas. It was slow and mid week... we were treated by them lighting the plaza in lights and lit the fire pits. For simply mywife and I. We felt as if they were only there for us.... we turned on music and danced until closing under the stars andlights. Even as the staff was wanting to go home for the evening, we were not pressured nor even remotely asked / implied thatit was closing time. It was like "they knew" we needed a mental break and let us relax to our own beat..... THIS PLACE is, inour first opinion, the leading example of what a vineyard experience should be ! I simply wish i could remember the names ofall the staff that we interacted with to send a personal thank you to.... In lieu of that, we deeply appreciate thepersonalized service and conversations we had ! we will be back ! Read more
