Our Story
A Legacy of Hospitality, Rooted in Italy and Grown in Pennsylvania
The story of Vintner’s Table begins with the Folino family’s journey from Calabria, Italy to the Pennsylvania countryside. After immigrating in the 1980s, Rodolfo and Lidia Folino opened their first restaurant, Valentino’s, laying the foundation for a hospitality legacy built on tradition, warmth, and family.
Years later, Rodolfo purchased 54 acres of land in Kutztown with hopes of building homes—but when development plans fell through, a new idea took root. Inspired by a story of a couple who opened a winery, his son Marco and daughter-in-law Andrea envisioned something greater: a place where their family’s deep restaurant experience and Italian heritage could come together. With Lidia’s father once tending his own vineyard back in Italy, opening a winery felt not only possible, but destined.
In 2014, the first vines were planted at Folino Estate Winery & Restaurant, and the dream began to flourish. Today, the estate spans over 23,000 vines across 14 rolling acres, producing beautiful wines in a space designed to bring people together over food, wine, and meaningful connection
As Folino Estate grew, so did the family’s vision. Vintner’s Table was born from the same values—Italian-inspired hospitality, layered interiors, and a focus on experience over occasion. With founder Andrea Folino’s background in interior design, each location is created with intention: every texture, finish, and layout tells a story. Our spaces echo old-world charm while feeling fresh and modern, giving guests a place to gather, celebrate, and simply enjoy life.
At Vintner’s Table, we serve our full wine library alongside vineyard-inspired cocktails—bringing the best of the vineyard to every table. Whether you're catching up with friends or celebrating something special, it's a space where memories are made.
