Finding the right local wine supplier isn't just about sourcing bottles—it’s about building a dependable, full-service relationship that supports your business at every level. Whether you're running a restaurant in Allentown, a craft bar in Bethlehem, or managing retail at a bottle shop in Easton, you need wines that reflect quality, story, and regional identity—and a partner who understands the needs of family-owned businesses.
At Cellar Beast Winehouse, we’re proud to be your Lehigh Valley wine supplier, offering a boutique portfolio of small-lot wines sourced from renowned vineyards in California's Central Coast, Oregon, and Washington State. As a licensed Pennsylvania winery with direct-to-consumer shipping capabilities, we also understand the complexities of state laws and the importance of working with law-abiding businesses—which is why we handle every detail from delivery logistics to staff training to ensure compliance and ease.
With full access to our sommelier team, educational tastings, menu-pairing consultation, and even custom label options, we’re more than just a winery—we’re your on-premise wine solution.

Why Choose a Local Wine Supplier?
1. Local Means Faster, Fresher, and Smarter
As your local wine supplier based right here in Pennsylvania, we offer shorter delivery times, curbside pickup options, and significantly reduced risk of temperature fluctuation or shipping delays—critical in preserving fine wine quality.
2. Reduce Shipping Costs & Complexities
We bypass major national wine and spirits distributors, which often involve warehousing and additional layers of markup, providing wholesale wine distribution services directly to your location. That means fewer delays, lower freight costs, and more consistent access to resources.
3. Real Communication with Real People
Forget waiting on hold with a call center in another state. When you need support, we’re a local call or visit away—from tasting appointments to social distancing-friendly delivery.
4. Leverage the Power of Local Storytelling
Today's consumers value authenticity. Featuring a local winery on your list—especially one rooted in sustainable production and hands-on winemaking processes—enhances your brand story and adds value to the guest experience.
