Seven Mountains Wine Cellars

What Seven Mountains Wine Cellars does

Seven Mountains Wine Cellars is a family-owned commercial winery founded in 2008 and headquartered in Spring Mills, Pennsylvania. The company produces more than 40 wines spanning dry whites (Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Traminette, sparkling Black Tie), dry reds (Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Pinot Noir, Ten Point, Rattlehead Red), and an unusually broad sweet and specialty category that includes 28 SKUs of fruit wines (rhubarb, cranberry, blueberry, black raspberry, strawberry, blackberry merlot), dessert and fortified wines (Vidal Ice, Night Owl 17% ABV, Classic Cream Sherry), and seasonal blends (Wicked Pumpkin, Just Peachy, Spiced Apple). Winemaking relies on traditional craft infrastructure — stainless steel tanks, oak barrel aging for reds, pump-over fermentation tanks, and freeze-on-the-vine ice wine production — with a recent premium extension aging wine in once-used Woodford Reserve Bourbon Whiskey barrels.

The business operates a hybrid distribution model combining direct-to-consumer sales (Spring Mills winery plus two owned retail locations in Boalsburg and Carlisle), an in-state and out-of-state e-commerce storefront with shipping to PA, AK, FL, MN, DC, and other qualifying states, a two-tier wine club subscription (Grand Vin at no fee and Grand Cru at $100/year with discounts and event perks), and wholesale distribution to regional grocers (Giant, Giant Eagle, Martin's, Wegmans, Weis Markets), restaurants (Barrel 21, Harrison's, 40+ others), and event venues (State College Spikes, Altoona Curve, Bryce Jordan Center). Revenue also derives from events and private functions, including weekly live music, summer campfires with a $30 Season Pass, and a 2,000 sq ft private event venue.

The winery is privately held and family-operated by owner-winemaker Scott Bubb (43+ years of winemaking experience, ranked 12th nationally on the 2008 American Wine Society top amateur winemakers list) alongside his wife Mary Ann, son/assistant winemaker Nathan, and two additional children. Seven Mountains is recognized as the only Pennsylvania winery to have won five Governor's Cups in nine years and to have won both grape and fruit Governor's Cups in a single competition, with a stated ranking of 25th out of 220 PA wineries.
