Pat and Ali Naylor run Hawstone Hollow Winery as a husband-and-wife operation rooted in Lewistown, where Pat has made wine for more than 13 years and Ali manages the tasting room. The winery makes small-batch wines in-house from real fruit, while its local-history labels give bottles a distinctly Juniata Valley character. Its Lewistown gathering spaces extend that welcome beyond tastings, including a lounge for private events and a live-music venue opened in 2019.

Steve and Katy Flood have owned and operated the business since 2015, pairing their house wines with wood-fired fare in a casual industrial setting. The bistro also hosts weekly gatherings and offers a private Reserve Room for intimate events of up to 36 guests.LEWISTOWN, PA
