BellaTerra Vineyards was founded in 2015 by Jay and Joanna Bell. The original vision was to create a space for outdoor weddings and events, under the leadership of Jacque Bell, and supply those events with homemade wine. With Joanna’s background in advertising/graphic design, Jay’s background in horticulture and business, and Jacque’s expertise in coordinating events, BellaTerra Vineyards was born.
In 2020, BellaTerra Vineyards acquired Briar Valley Vineyard & Winery located in Bedford, PA. The 10 acre vineyard produces the highest quality vinifera grapes to make truly exceptional Pennsylvania white and red wines. The tasting room is located in downtown Bedford. Stop by to try some wines made from the vines in Bedford and also to sample your Bella Terra favorites from Hunker. They welcomed new employees to the team including winemaker Troy Beeler and Tasting Room Manager Anna Guevara, who is arranging our complimentary tasting event. Consider supporting the small business through a purchase of something you enjoyed.
Welcome to a yesteryear experience of old tavern charm
Jean Bonnet Tavern invites you to share in the long tradition of hospitality, good food and drink, at this 1760's historic landmark. The flavor of the Jean Bonnet Tavern is traditionally inspired, yet eclectic. Delicious foods are carefully selected and expertly prepared for a pleasant dining experience.
The Cabin Shoppe sits beside the Tavern Restaurant entrance in a pleasant garden alcove. On the porch are hickory rocking chairs and a variety of unique vases, wreaths and charming floral accents. Inside shoppers find attractive displays of antique and colonial items as well as custom designed jewelry and giftware. We offer hand-made soaps and lotions, scented soy candles, unique stationery, clothing and local mementos as well as a wide assortment of Pennsylvania and Bedford County culinary and history books. Pewter mugs, platters, pitchers, beautiful ceramics, cookware, and so much more make our Cabin Shoppe a browser’s paradise. The Shoppe is housed in an authentic log cabin, originally built in the late 1700’s in Fayette County. It was carefully relocated to the Jean Bonnet property and re-opened to the public as our Cabin Shoppe in January 2006.
