Our Story
After years of life abroad Galen and Juliana Balinski came back to the place they both called home. In Pennsylvania they returned to family, friends, and the dream of launching a legacy business that invites you to enjoy good times with great people. The Homecoming Winery in the Pocono Mountains offers an invitation to enjoy what matters most - faith, family, and the happiness of home in every sip.
Nestled in the enchanting Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, Homecoming Winery is more than just a vineyard – it’s a homecoming. Our dream was to create a space where time-honored tradition meets bold innovation, and Homecoming Winery was born from that vision.
Housed in a historic hotel dating back to the early 1900s, our winery combines the romance of the past with modern craftsmanship. The building has been lovingly restored, blending its original Gothic architecture with a touch of dark academia, creating a unique atmosphere that invites you to explore and savor the experience. Every corner tells a story, echoing with whispers of the past while embracing the elegance of the present.
At the heart of Homecoming Winery is our dedication to seven carefully curated wines, each crafted to showcase the terroir and spirit of this region. From bold reds to crisp whites, our wines are a reflection of both the landscape and our passion for winemaking. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or a newcomer to the world of wine, we invite you to join us in celebrating this journey.
Come raise a glass in a place where history, community, and fine wine come together, and discover the taste of the Poconos in every bottle.
