Starr Hill Vineyard & Winery | Handcrafted Wines in Pennsylvania
Starr Hill Vineyard & Winery was founded on a legacy of craftsmanship and passion for winemaking. Our journey began in 1952 when Ken Starr learned the art of winemaking from his father, later refining his skills through European travels and decades of hands-on experience. Since establishing our commercial vineyard in 2005, we have dedicated ourselves to producing handcrafted wines that reflect our family's heritage and commitment to quality. Our 13-acre estate in Clearfield County features 3,000 vines of diverse grape varieties, offering visitors free tastings, vineyard tours, and opportunities to experience our Pennsylvania wines firsthand. We specialize in creating memorable moments through our award-winning wines, wedding and event hosting services, and direct-to-consumer sales via our online store and physical locations.Our team combines multi-generational expertise with modern techniques to deliver consistent quality across our portfolio of over 40 wines, including dry varietals, fruit wines, and sparkling options. As a recognized destination in Clearfield County tourism, we maintain rigorous standards in grape cultivation and winemaking processes while preserving the traditional methods that define our brand identity. Our operations demonstrate financial stability through sustained growth since 2005, supported by transparent business practices and a focus on customer satisfaction.

The wine isn't bad, but you spelled Pineapple Paradise... "paridise" on the bottle.
Wouldn't mind going to the vineyard and taking a tour.

A fabulous winery! Our hosts were so friendly! We got a tour of the facility, sampled some delicious sweet, fruity wines (the pear & Guilty Pleasure were our favorites) and enjoyed the beautiful view. It was a little out of the way but so worth it!

My friend and I were on a road trip when we first found this place. All of their wines are amazing, sweet, and pretty unique. I bought a bottle of their peach wine and 5 bottles of banana chocolate wine they make. The banana chocolate tastes just like a banana split, it's amazing! Definitely worth stopping by.
