My husband and I did a wine tasting last week for his birthday and it was such a great experience! The woman that did the tasting was so pleasant and did a wonderful job. The winery was beautiful both inside and out. We enjoyed the variety of wines and purchased a few bottles to take home. Would definitely visit again!
We had the most amazing time at our wedding this October. Our guests did not have enough good things to say and the day went seamlessly. We appreciate all of the staff's hard work and for putting so much care into providing excellent service for their guests. The winery is so beautiful and we truly wouldn’t have changed a thing about our wedding day. They were so accommodating and so lovely to work with throughout the entire process. We can’t wait to go back and visit soon!
Went to a 5:30pm wedding there last weekend and there was a horrible smell in the parking lot and on walkway to the ceremony site. Smells like backed up sewer line. Persisted all night. Almost unbearable. Several drunk ppl from wine tasting were allowed to wander in wedding tent. Sign posted said outdoor grounds close at 4 and winery closes at 6. However staff did nothing when about 10 wine tasting customers sat on wall to watch 5:30 wedding ceremony and talk loudly (and drunkly). Staff also did nothing about drunk ppl screaming in parking lot during ceremony. Comical because the owner will not allow DJ to play music at enjoyable level. No one was able to hear parent/child dances. DJ said this is because owner’s home is directly next to wedding tent. This place is beautiful but they need a serious customer service overhaul. If you want a fun peaceful wedding you should look elsewhere!
Absolutely loved my visit to this winery! The atmosphere was peaceful, the views were beautiful, and every wine I tried was perfectly balanced. My host, Carol, made the entire experience even better — she was friendly, knowledgeable, and you could tell she truly enjoys what she does. She explained each pour with passion and made great recommendations based on what I liked. I left not only with a few bottles but with a real appreciation for the craft behind them. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re looking for good wine, great company, and genuine hospitality!
We hosted a surprise 50th birthday celebration this past weekend and it was truly amazing! From the first time we met Tom and his team, we knew it was going to be a great venue for us. All of our guests raved about the venue, the quality and selection of the wines and the entire team at Crossing Winery. The bartenders were very friendly and made sure all of our guests were well taken care of the entire night. The ambiance with the fireplaces and wine made our night perfect! We can't thank them enough for helping us make true memories of a lifetime. Special thank you to Tom and his team.
The staff was very friendly, the wine was delicious and the atmosphere was fantastic. If you sit at a table, be prepared to order on your phone through a QR code. Don't worry if your technologically challenged, the staff will ask if you need help.
Crossing Vineyards helped me and my client host a wonderful event at their beautiful winery. Their entire team -- event manager, server, and bartender -- were all fantastic. Super efficient, kind, professional, and accommodating. The food and wine were great, and the winery made us feel right at home. All of our guests were impressed and kept saying how lovely the venue was. Hope to be back soon when I'm off the clock and can enjoy more wine!
Crossing Vineyards and Winery is a beautiful location! The staff are very friendly and committed to excellent service! I found the Proposal package to offer a lot of value and my fiancée loved the experience and was so happy with how everything turned out. I can not thank you enough!

Slide 1 of 8
Wonderful memorial to the soldiers who put their lives on the line such that we can have the freedom that we now have. Praise and gratitude for the strength of conviction within Gen. George Washington and his fellow leaders, including those from France, Poland, & Prussia, who likewise put others before themselves.
Had a great first experience here today. Workers were friendly and engaging, with great information and things to see. Would definitely recommend coming and visiting here.
Beautiful park, Historic buildings, Scenic Delaware River, Nice Visitors Center, benches to sit and relax, paved walkways, pedestrian / cyclist paths, pedestrian walkway on bridge over the Delaware River, plenty of parking. Clean restrooms.
It is a nice small piece of history, commemorating the crossing of the Delaware river. This is where our revolution could have ended/died. Through God's grace and George Washington's leadership, they made a surprise attack, at Trenton and Princeton. Reviving moral and the Patriot spirit before going into winter quarters.
Very interesting historical park. It was almost surreal standing on the bank of the Delaware River and thinking about what it must have been like on that Christmas Eve so many years ago...
Just a fantastic place to ride bikes along the river. Not a lot of traffic, super calm and the scenery is very nice. Popular route for motorcycles
On a cold, snowy Christmas night in 1776, the Continental Army changed the course of history. Led by George Washington, they braved the rough Delaware River to land at Johnson's Ferry in NJ and march on to victory against the British. Operated by the Friends of Washington Crossing, we visited the site on the PA side this morning where their departure was preserved at Washington Crossing Historic Park. Reservation was easily made yesterday on their website for the 10:30am tour. Between the Upper Section that has the Thompson-Neely House and Revolutionary War Soldier’s grave. The Lower Section has the Visitor Center and the Old Village right at the site of the crossing. This encompasses 500 acres, which represents much more than a single event. Upon arrival, my partner and I had time to walk around the perimeter of the Visitor Center. When the building opened at 10am, we entered and were greeted by the staff. Inside had a wonderful auditorium and exhibit hall that featured the canon Marquis de Lafayette gave to the Continental Army. Our tour started by watching a short film about the history of the crossing. We further followed our tour guide David Price outside to the large white barn to view a Durham boat, similar to what George and his men used during the crossing. He led us along the Delaware River among the fall foliage to talk about the war leading up to and following the December 26 Battle of Trenton. He was able to make history come alive for us at $7 per person. The park also has wonderful historical homes but were closed while we were there. It’s an ideal spot for picnicking, hiking, and bird watching. The well-maintained trails and scenic overlooks allow visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of the area. They do reenactments of the crossing on Christmas Day and one earlier in December. It's recommended to check their website. It’s a remarkable place offering a unique blend of American history and natural beauty, making it a must-visit destination for history buffs and nature lovers alike, which we can recommend.
My wife and I decided to stop at Washington Crossing Historic Park while on our way to Philadelphia, and we’re so glad we did! After crossing the Washington Crossing Bridge, we couldn't resist checking out this iconic site. The museum offers insightful exhibits that dive deep into George Washington’s famous 1776 Delaware River crossing on Christmas Day. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the grounds weren’t busy, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It was the perfect 1-hour detour—definitely worth the stop! Helpful Tips: If you're passing through, allow at least an hour to enjoy the exhibits. Great stop for history buffs and easy parking available!

If you live around Bucks County, you absolutely need to come visit Bowmans Tower. especially during mid fall when the trees are changing colors. It's such a scenic and beautiful overlook of the entire area. And a great view of the Delaware River. The stairs are a little steep and tight so be careful walking up and down them. There are also local hiking trails all around this area to enjoy if you have a free afternoon.
They charge $7 a person to go up but the view was really pretty. Elevator is ouy of order currently so be warned it's LOTS of steps. Legs felt like jello when I was done. Next time we go will be in the fall when yhe leaves change.
Since my family moved to New Jersey three years ago, we have made it our tradition to visit this tower every October to see the spectacular fall foliage. ​Despite the tower's 125-foot height, it's still manageable for most visitors, even young children. Be aware that the stairs are very narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time. I should also note that the elevator has been out of order every time we've visited, so you must be prepared to use the stairs. I'm not sure if or when it will be fixed. ​After visiting the tower, we often have a meal at one of the great restaurants near Washington Crossing Historic Park, such as The Yardley Inn, or we take a trip to the nearby town of New Hope. This has become our favorite weekend routine every fall!
We have always loved the tower. We used to spend a lot of time in its shadow, so to speak, down at the Bowman Wildflower Preserve walking our dogs. We finally paid this grand girl another visit after many years. Hopefully, you enjoy the photos. With the lower back I earned as an Infantry soldier, I wasn't doing the stairs to the top (elevator was inop), but other good folks have provided those amazing views.
Great site with awesome views. You can drive all the way to the parking lot at the base of the tower. Plenty to do and see without paying to climb it. The elevator was (and seems to have been for awhile) out of service.
Bowman's Hill Tower was a fun outing. Once you climb the 120+ steps (I counted 124 on the way down), you are treated to a 360 degree view of the area, including views of the Delaware River. I plan to visit again in the fall to take in the autumn leaves which I can only imagine adds a new dimension to the trip. Be prepared to climb. The first 100 steps are spiral stairs that can accommodate two across (good in case someone is headed in the opposite direction). There is a small landing right before the narrowest steps that only accommodate one at a time. At the tower itself the view is the only real attraction but you can pair a trip with a visit to the Wildflower Preserve. If you tell them you are doing both you can get a discount. We paid full price at the tower and a discounted price when we got to the preserve. I imagine it would work both ways
Visited this afternoon and climbed to the top, totally worth it! Beautiful views from every corner.
This is a place that my wife and I have eaten at many times. We heard there is new management and some folks were not too happy with it, but we decided to go for it any way and made a reservation for my son's birthday at this place for 15 people. They booked us and all seemed well. A few days later they called and said that they screwed up our reservation and instead of our party being split into 2 tables, we will now be sat at a table of 5, 4 and 3 tables of 2. We were worried about the layout, so went to the restaurant to see how it looks. We spoke to their manager named Brian. Who showed us the layout and we all agreed that this would work. The very next day, this same manager calls us and says that our reservation is cancelled because it is too many people and TOO STRESSFUL for them. So now we are a week away and we have no venue. I've never had a restaurant cancel a reservation last minute because it is too stressful for them. This is especially perplexing since the space was available and called for. Separate tables means separate checks and could even be different servers, so where is the stress? Do they prefer an empty restaurant on a Saturday night so they can be stress free? I'm never going to this place again.

Him: Let me just say, this is THE place to go in the area to design the perfect engagement ring. I walked in with little knowledge of diamonds and jewelry making in general…I walked out with the best possible engagement ring I could afford for my fiancée. It was an excellent buying experience from start to finish. Vincent was a huge help, he guided me through my purchase with honesty and professionalism. He schooled me on diamonds – their cut, clarity, carat weight, and color. I was able to pick out my own center stone to be mounted to a design example I provided by photo. Nothing beats custom made no matter how much you spend. Especially when you’re handing your hard-earned money to someone who has a high level of talent and passion for jewelry making. That was this experience. I still can’t believe it! Amazing how well they were able to create something that balances classic design with utter uniqueness while adhering to a general design I knew my fiancée liked. She absolutely loves it! (see photo) Please, if you’re thinking about it just go here. Beautiful location, awesome people, awesome experience and outcome! Thank you Vince and the staff!! Her: When the love of my life proposed to me I was utterly shocked, not so much at the proposal itself (saw it coming!) but for the WOW factor of the ring he proposed to me with. The ring could not fit my personality any more than it does, I absolutely love the vintage halo of shimmering diamonds! This ring makes me feel as though I am living in the roaring 20’s when I look at it and I wasn’t even there to design it! If you are looking for originality or something TIMELESS, please visit Diana Vincent where they take pride in everything they customize. Every woman deserves a Diana Vincent crafted engagement ring, it is something you will never regret nor doubt! Most definitely returning to design our wedding bands!
This review is from my husband, who's not really into social media, so he asked me to post it for him. :) For our wedding, my fiancée and I wanted to design our own rings. We had success with hers, but I was still looking for someone who could work with my design and make it out of the metal I wanted for a reasonable price. My search lead me to Diana Vincent Jewelry Designs. I could tell they did superb work from their website, and had seen that they dealt in alternative metals. I was looking to make my ring out of tungsten or palladium. After some discussion with Vincent and showing him the design, he assured me that they could handle things and we moved forward with getting it cast in palladium. The service was excellent, especially considering it was handled strictly over the phone and through email, as I reside in New Jersey. Vincent wanted to be certain he had every detail correct before we proceeded. The ring was completed and delivered to me within 3 weeks at a reasonable cost. It turned out wonderfully, just as I had imagined it based off of the design. Of course most importantly, my fiancée (now wife) agreed and loved the finished product, too. I can’t thank them enough for such great work, and recommend them to anyone. (In the image attached, the band with the moat and square cut out is the ring from Diana Vincent Jewelry Designs. The ring with the ruby is from another establishment.)
I purchased a necklace at Diana Vincent about 30 years ago when I lived in Washington Crossing. It has always been my absolute favorite necklace and I've worn it to all the important events of my life, e.g. weddings and other celebrations. After these many years, I managed to have the closure link on it get hopelessly tangled and eventually come off. I tried for months to fix it, to no avail. I now live in North Carolina, so just stopping in was no longer an option. I emailed Judy after all these years and she had me mail it to them. Today, after just a couple weeks time, it arrived back to me looking as good as it did the day I bought it! And no charge! Now that's superb, professional customer service. Thank you, Judy!
I worked with Judy at Diana Vincent to design a custom engagement ring that is absolutely beautiful-- my wife and I could not be happier with the final design, fit and finish. Judy also helped us select our wedding rings. I walked into the store knowing nothing about engagement / wedding rings and Judy worked with me through the entire process - from start to finish. She spent so much time working on our custom design, and the team put an amazing amount of thought into it, since we used stones from my wife's grandmother's ring. The final design ended up as a truly memorable and special piece of art. Judy went the extra mile to make sure it was exactly what we wanted and that it fit perfectly. Based on our experience with the engagement ring, my wife and I also purchased our wedding rings from Diana Vincent and again (no surprise), received the same perfect service! I highly recommend Diana Vincent for any engagement / wedding ring project - custom or one of their designs. The level of service my wife and I received is a rarity in today's world. We couldn't be happier.
I can't say enough for Judy, Devon and Diana. 32 years ago my husband asked me to be his wife with a beautiful engagement ring he bought from Diana Vincent. We purchased our wedding bands and more in the following years. After 31 years of marriage, I just re-designed my engagement and wedding rings into a magnificent combination ring and I am THRILLED with the results. Judy and Devon were amazing working with me from start to finish. Cannot say enough! Best, Cheryl Brown, New Hope PA
I highly recommend Diana Vincent for custom work. I had an excellent experience working with Devan and Judy to design my engagement ring, which included resetting my Grandmother’s diamond. They made wax molds with the actual stone so that I could try on the wax rings (there were a few iterations) and see what the finished product would look like. The actual ring turned out perfectly – my ring is exactly what I wanted.
A huge thank you to Judy and the Diana Vincent team for making my engagement ring purchasing experience so wonderful! Their designs are absolutely gorgeous and Judy’s expertise made the whole process a pleasure. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in the market for an engagement ring or any jewelry design. I will definitely be back in the future!!
My new jeweler is miles away from me, but there is no need to travel because she is as close as my computer, my phone, my front door. I fell in love with the Contour Collection Three Stone Ring but wanted to use my diamonds including my original engagement solitaire. How thrilling to find out that the designer would use my diamonds to create the design in 18K yellow gold for me! It was so easy – thanks to Judy. She oversaw everything; from shipping my diamonds, to keeping me updated, to overseeing the process, to shipping my beautiful ring to me. Do not hesitate to contact the designer when you are looking to change or upgrade your jewelry. Diana Vincent’s accessibility provides convenience, confidence and stunning jewelry designs wherever you are located.
