Roll down the windows and watch the landscape roll by as you embark on the hour drive from downtown Pittsburgh to Stone Villa Wine Cellars in Acme.

A first glimpse, the lush grounds and jaw dropping architecture of the winery gives just a hint to its charming story.

Inspired by their love of making wine, Randy and Debbie Paul decided to share their passion with the world by opening their own winery.

Wine making runs in the Paul family genes - Randy's grandparents made wine - so the decision to start their own winery seemed natural.

Randy's construction company built the facility while his dad completed the intricate stonework.

Since it debuted in 2000, Stone Villa Wine Cellars has become a favorite destination for wine connoisseurs.

The picturesque winery boasts more than 20 different wines, including Villa Sunrise, Villa Sunset, Niagara, and Padre's Rose.

Stop by the winery - and bring a picnic basket - for a leisurely day on the patio, sipping wine, and watching the entertainment that's often scheduled on the weekends.

Stone Villa Wine Cellars also hosts events throughout the year, including Hat Day, Fruit & Wine Pairings, and...

The annual Fall Festival, which includes wine, plenty of food, and games.

The winery, which sells chocolate and gift boxes, requires guests to have advanced reservations or to purchase a bottle of wine to sit on the outdoor patio, shaded by umbrellas and overlooking the water.

Parties of six or more, who want to sit at a pavilion table on the weekend, must put down a deposit with their reservation.

Embrace the relaxed atmosphere of Stone Villa Wine Cellars Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.
