At Raven Hollow, we let nature and science work together to create distinct and noteworthy wines. All the produce, including the fruits and berries for our wines are sustainably grown next door by Gene Kosinski of Kosinski Farms with the environment and our community in mind. Kosinski Farms is proud to be an IPM (integrated pest management) certified farm.
Our commitment to quality and sustainability allows us to create delicious, fun, and refreshing wines. Be sure to stop at Kosinski Farms and pick up some locally made food to enjoy here at the winery. The winery also sells small snack plates and decadent treats from the bakery at Kosinski Farms. Please keep in mind that available wine selection may vary.
Raven Hollow fruit wines are made 100% from fruit - not a flavored grape-based wine - and we use no artificial colors or flavors. Our fruit is sustainably farmed next door at Kosinski Farms, picked at the peak of freshness and delivered to the winery where we ferment it to a refreshing beverage. The tasting notes of each wine is a direct reflection of the flavor of the fruit.

Arrived at 5:59pm and was immediately met by a worker who rudely announced that the winery was closed and when asked a further question she stated it was fall hours. That would be fine if the sign outside the building did not say they were open to 8pm just like yelp, google and their page. Oddly enough there were also other people inside that were allowed to stay that she seemed a lot more interested in serving.

The sign outside said they were open until 8, yet when we showed up at 6, we were rudely met outside by one of the workers saying we had to leave, they were closed, yet they had people inside still drinking wine. If you are going to close at 6, FIX YOUR DAMN SIGN OUTSIDE! We even told her that the sign said 8, and she still gave us attitude. don't be so rude, because I can guarantee you I will not even try to go back now.

Tiny winery but amazing wine. Has mostly fruity flavors, so if you like that sort of wine (no classics!) go here! Apple, Cherry, Cranberry, Blueberry, Pineapple, Peach etc. I am a rough looking guy, so I get some surprised looks when I come in alone to buy gifts, other than that it's great! See pictures for the style of wine and if you like a slightly sweeter taste, this is for you. My GF's favorite!

Website, sign outside and google all state it closed at 8pm. We pulled in and a very rude employee said that they were closed. She went back in and sat with people inside and had a drink in her hand. When we pointed out that the sign said 8pm she was rude and said oh well. Was intrigued by this winery but due to the staff will not back to try.

This place really deserves a 5 star rating, but the staff I dealt with really kind of ruined the experience. They were there just to pour drinks. Not to tell us about them. They spent the whole time talking to each other about their vacation plans and being on their phones. Many of the wines here are excellent. I still walked away with 3 different bottles after the tasting. The place is super nice. I would like to go back and hopefully will get a chance in hopes of a better experience. I would recommend this place to others just be prepared the staff wasn't super great on my trip there.

I am a frequent flyer at this winery and I absolutely LOVE their wines. The strawberry rhubarb is their most popular and my favorite. I love that they are open all year and always have a great wine list. They are located right next to the owner’s farm stand so during the summer we grab a bite to eat and listen to the music that they have outside! The girls that work there really make the experience fun and interesting! They always know the inner-workings of the winery and can describe the wine in ways so every can understand it! Brought my mother here (not a wine drinker) and even she loved the

Amazing, amazing! The wines are made from the fruits they grow and grapes come from Napa Valley CA. there is truly a wine for everyone. Summertime they have live Jazz, Folk & country bands playing under the pavilion with a wine bar outside for your convenience! This place is really fun and relaxing. Family friendly as well.

I was excited to give this winery a try and I was disappointed. They had a lot to choose from for the tasting with many fruit wines as well. All the wines had a harsh alcohol flavor and didn't taste smooth. They tasted cheap and were unenjoyable to drink. We brought cheese, crackers and chairs and planned on purchasing a bottle and enjoying the live music, but we decided against it. None of the wines we tasted were worth buying a bottle so we left. I would suggest driving a little further to black birch winery, much better tasting wine that was smooth and enjoyable to drink.

The tastings are a bit more expensive than most wineries, but they do give you an ample pour. They specialize in fruit wines, which are a New England tradition since colonial days. Grapes come from the west coast, hopefully some local vines will be added. We mixed and shared tastings in order to try many varieties and settled on the plum wine as our favorite. Strawberry and raspberry are close seconds! If you're within a 50 mile radius, it's worth stopping in. The fruit wines are the best value, and worth taking home! They have jazz events outside in a large tent on weekends. We

We had a great first visit to Raven Hollow on a recent Saturday. The winery produces a LOT of fruit wine in more varieties than I can recall. They make "standard" fruit wines, like apple, strawberry, and raspberry, but have also branched out into more uncommon territory with orange, cherry, and not one, but two types of blueberry wine (one was oak aged, and I think the other was steel). They also offer a few red and white varieties, made with California grapes, but we stuck to the local fare on this trip. Tastings are $7 for four samples, and while the samples are large-- about double

Great new winery. Beautiful tasting room and the lady who helped our tasting was very friendly and helpful.
You can do a tasting for a flight of 4 wines or the entire line up of 10 wines. About half are fruit wines.
The red wines were standouts, especially the Merlot and Petit Verdot. The strawberry and raspberry wines were also tasty.
In the summer they allow people to bring food and they have entertainment Friday, Saturday and Sunday (jazz).
Will come back again.
