About this venue

Balla Cloiche Vineyards is a boutique vineyard in Stewartstown, PA, designed for intimate celebrations of up to 100 guests. Surrounded by estate-grown vines, the property blends countryside charm with thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. Couples may exchange vows in our signature Celtic Wedding Garden, featuring two overlapping hearts symbolizing unity, then celebrate in our climate-controlled Event Room or throughout the vineyard grounds. Unlike traditional banquet venues, Balla Cloiche offers a relaxed, experience-driven atmosphere centered around wine, connection, and meaningful celebration. Our historic Tasting Room, Pub Room, patios, and scenic outdoor areas allow celebrations to flow naturally from ceremony to cocktail hour to dancing beneath the vineyard sky. Couples love the flexibility to personalize their wedding with their own vendors while enjoying our wines, Pennsylvania craft beverages, and the welcoming ambiance of a true vineyard setting.

    Private Party at BCV

    We recently hosted a private event at Balla Cloiche Vineyards and honestly couldn’t have picked a better venue. The views and landscaping are beautiful, the space feels both elegant and relaxed, and everything photographed so well. Planning was easy thanks to their friendly, flexible staff, and having tables and chairs included made things simple. Guests loved the indoor and outdoor areas, and the climate-controlled event room was perfect. Plus, the dry wines are incredible and the cocktail/beer selection made everyone happy. It’s a unique space that feels special without being complicated. Highly recommend BCV for weddings or private events.

    An Increible Space for Your Wedding!

    Balla Cloiche is family-owned winery set in the beautiful hills of southeastern Pennsylvania. Close to the Maryland Line, it's an easy choice for couples from PA, MD, DC, DE, and NJ. There is ample room for parking, as well as indoor and outdoor choices for your ceremony and reception. Their wines will compliment any food choices you have. Besides a friendly, welcoming staff who works to personalize your day, the setting is perfect for beautiful wedding photos. I highly recommend them for your wedding day!

    Lucky to have this so close to home

    We feel incredibly lucky to have this winery in our area. Their approach to winemaking really aligns with our personal taste. They focus on beautifully crafted, drier reds and whites inspired by a classic Bordeaux style, and the quality and balance in each bottle are consistently impressive. If you appreciate structured, thoughtfully made wines, this place truly delivers. The setting makes it even more special. Nestled into a picturesque little valley, the property feels both expansive and intimate at the same time. There’s something about the atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. It’s the kind of place where you run into friends, settle in for a while, and find yourself coming back week after week. For us, it has become our regular spot to unwind. They host live music multiple times a month, along with seasonal festivals, summer games, croquet, and other events in their large open gathering space. Seeing how naturally they bring people together makes it easy to envision how beautiful and seamless a wedding celebration would feel there. The grounds provide a stunning backdrop that feels elegant but never overdone. The staff is always inviting, charming, and genuinely engaging. Being family-owned adds a personal touch that you can feel in every interaction. There’s a warmth to the experience that makes guests feel welcomed and cared for. For couples looking for a venue that combines refined wines, natural beauty, and an authentic sense of community, this winery offers a setting that feels both meaningful and memorable. It’s a place where people gather comfortably, celebrate wholeheartedly, and create lasting memories.

    What a Hidden GEM

    Balla Cloiche Vineyards is an absolute gem for wedding events. They are flexible, creative, and easy-going, which makes working with them a breeze. The quality of their wine, event spaces, and overall value is incredible - the property is beautifully decorated and landscaped inside and out, so it's an absolute bargain for what you get. The crew is always out mowing, planting, and trimming, not just for the grapes, but also the flowers and greenery, resulting in a manicured, picture-perfect property. The organized team of bar staff and event coordinator make the planning process seamless. The owners are on site at every event making sure events go off without a hitch. As a caterer, I always appreciate their kind and positive attitude keeping everything stress-free for my clients, other vendors, and my staff...which is certainly not the case at every venue from my years of experience. As a wine snob myself, I can attest that their dry red and white wines are excellent, making Balla Cloiche Vineyards a top choice for any wedding celebration.

Balla Cloiche (pronounced Ba-la-CLOUGH-ah) name and logo are a salute to the family's Scot-Irish heritage. The logo is a play of the Ewing family crest, and "Balla Cloiche" is Gaelic for stone wall. An ode to the property purchased on a whim, several stone walls are scattered throughout the property, marking the original property lines. The Ewing family crest has "Audacitor" on the banner, which means "one who goes forth boldly and blindly without thinking," so that's what we named our first wine: Audacity. And we stuck with 'itys' ever since.
All indoor spaces are fully climate-controlled, providing a comfortable and elegant backup option. Our layout allows celebrations to transition seamlessly indoors while maintaining the vineyard atmosphere.
Covered trash cans are included throughout the property. While we prefer if vendors haul their own trash at the conclusion of their services, we do have a designated area where bagged trash may be placed.
