Domaine Pterion hosts weddings, corporate events, holiday parties and private celebrations for up to 160 guests in a restored 1780s bank barn and across a 60-acre farm. The vineyard and winery sits on South Mountain at 6501 Saint Peters Road in Macungie, Pennsylvania, and bottles its own wines from grapes grown on the property.
Seminars and company events
Corporate events can pair a meeting or a dinner in the barn with a guided winery tour and a wine pairing. For groups coming from out of town, the team coordinates local accommodations, transportation and meals in-house, so an organizer deals with one contact. All indoor spaces are climate controlled and ADA compatible, which lets a company day or a holiday party run in any season. Birthdays, showers, anniversaries and milestone celebrations use the same rooms, from a small gathering to the full barn.
Weddings and receptions
Ceremonies take place indoors or outdoors, with the vineyard as a backdrop. Cocktail hour has its own indoor space, which leaves time to set the main room for dinner. The reception is held in the Grand Barnroom, under a 40-foot timbered ceiling with two chandeliers. Two dressing suites are available throughout the day, and two travertine patios open onto the property for drinks and photographs.
Rooms and capacities
The Grand Barnroom is the main room: a large open floor under a 40-foot timbered ceiling, used for receptions of up to 160 guests. A separate indoor space serves cocktail hour, two travertine patios extend the event outdoors, and several smaller rooms suit intimate gatherings. Ceremony sites are available both inside and outside. Capacities are not published room by room beyond the 160-guest maximum.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms on the estate. For corporate groups, the team arranges local accommodations as part of its coordination.
Catering
The website does not set out a catering policy, so organizers confirm menus and caterers with the team. The wine comes from the estate: dry, European-style wines made from seven varieties grown on the property, hand-harvested, then fermented, aged and bottled on site. The list includes Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Viognier, Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and a Cabernet Franc rosé. Food pairings are served in the tasting room, where outside food is not allowed.
History and setting
The farm was first deeded in 1740 and stayed a family farm for 283 years. Its bank barn dates from the 1780s. Daniel and Elizabeth O'Rourke bought the property in 2014, restored the barn and created the winery. The farm covers 60 acres, about 15 of them planted with vines, on top of South Mountain. The tasting room opens on Sundays from noon to 5 p.m., with live music from 1 to 4 p.m., and the property sometimes closes for private events.
Getting there
The address is 6501 Saint Peters Road, Macungie, PA 18062, in the Lehigh Valley southwest of Allentown. Lehigh Valley International Airport is about 30 minutes away by car, and Philadelphia is about an hour and a quarter. Guests arrive by car, and the team can coordinate transportation for groups.
