Greenhouse Winery
Started in 2007, Greenhouse Winery has grown from a passionate hobby to a business that has served the southwest Pennsylvania region for over a decade. With the winery, owners Cindy and Greg have created an environment where memories are created with good wine, good friends, and good times. Along with the main banquet hall near Irwin, PA, Greenhouse Winery serves its customers with three retail stores located throughout Southwest PA.
While the winery originated as a greenhouse, within the first decade the main location was relocated in order to accommodate more opportunities. In 2015, owners Cindy and Greg realized their dream when they established a new banquet hall and event facility. Many memories have been made in these short years since, from numerous bridal showers, birthdays, music dates, and even weddings.
The building is over 5,000 square feet, with a full wine sampling bar, banquet hall, and lavish back patio. In 2018, we expanded the patio, built cabanas for VIP seating, and added a fountain as a serene backdrop for our bands and weddings. The Hazuza Family has retained the property for over four generations, and for years they farmed and preserved the land. Grapevines once lined the fields up to the winery, and while they are gone today the winemaking tradition lives on.
