About Galen Glen Winery
In the Press: Named Pennsylvania’s best winery by Tasting Table in its July 2026 feature on the best winery in every US state.
Galen Glen put Pennsylvania whites on the map: Sarah Troxell's Andreas mountain vineyard grows the Stone Cellar Gruner Veltliner and dry Rieslings that sweep international aromatic-white competitions, pharmacist-turned-winemaker precision and Lehigh ridge stone behind every vintage.
Germanic-white mastery from Blue Mountain slopes built the state's most decorated white program. The commonwealth's cold-climate crown.
Galen Glen’s claim to fame is national: the Troxell family - Galen, Sarah, and daughter Erin, on a sixth-generation farm - planted the second Gruner Veltliner in the United States and the first commercial planting east of the Rockies, and the grape is now synonymous with the Lehigh Valley. Philadelphia wine pros call the older-vine Stone Cellar whites world-class, the vineyards rank among the highest in eastern Pennsylvania with near-panoramic mountain views, and the tasting room displays 300-million-year-old crinoid fossils from the ancient seabed soils beneath the vines.
