On Shenango Lake

A lakeside tavern with a winery in its soul.

Dock Side Cellars grew up beside North Star Marina so boaters and drivers would have the same place to land: a warm room, a glass of something local, and the lake out the door.

We pour our own wines, fire pizzas and burgers in the tavern, and keep the lawn ready for live music and fire pits. Reservations are not required — but they are a very good idea.

Life is better at the lake.

Keep the glass.

North Star Marina on one side. Dock Side Cellars on the other. Launch, fuel, and slips — then walk up for pizza, wine, and the sunset. Boaters and drivers welcome.

The Tavern

Come hungry.
Leave happy.

This is the heart of the house: a wood-and-wine bar, Sicilian pizza, the Northstar Burger, and a kitchen that likes a little sweet heat. Pair it with a glass of Scarlet Fox, a local draft, or a wine slushie on the deck.

Live music nights, line dancing, trivia, and themed dinners roll through the week. Most events are no cover with a purchase — dust off your boots and pull up a chair.

The Winery

Wines with lake names and tavern manners.

Eight house wines, made to drink here and take home. Sweet Concord, dry Catawba, a Riesling with a snap of apple, Ruby Jude Merlot, and a Cabernet Franc that slept two years in bourbon barrels.

Velvet Mist

Sweet · Concord

Grape jelly in an adult container. Pennsylvania Concord with extra sweetness — a must for the sweetest among us.

Scarlet Fox

Sweet red · Niagara

Red berry, cedar, and spice in a sweet nectar. The wine that also finds its way into our cookies.

River Fisher

Sweet white · Niagara

A winter favorite. White Niagara, smooth-filtered and polished — a sweet white unlike any other.

Sunset Blush

Blush · house blend

Scarlet Fox meets River Fisher. The pairing wine for pizza, burgers, and a table full of friends.

Autumn Mist

Dry · Catawba

For the night the lake starts to mist. A clean, dry Catawba to warm your soul.

Feather White

Dry white · Riesling

Crisp green apple, lemon, and a little minerality. Bright enough for seafood, salads, and a little spice.

Ruby Jude Merlot

Dry red · Merlot

Lush fruit in a ruby glass — plum, cherry, and a soft, easy finish. The house Merlot we pour with a burger off the grill or a bowl of something earthy. Smooth enough for the deck, serious enough for the steak.

Red Tail Franc

Dry red · Cabernet Franc · bourbon barrel

Our most robust wine. Two years in bourbon barrels after fermenting, then filtered, polished, and nitrogen bottled. Oak, cherry, cedar, and berry in every sip.
