Pray Tell

Pray Tell Winery was founded in 2017 by South Philadelphia native Tom Caruso in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. From making wine on the sidewalk with his Italian immigrant grandfather to over fifteen years of professional winemaking across New York, California, and Oregon, he recently fulfilled a lifelong dream of moving the entire operation back east to a warehouse in Olde Kensington. What started as five ambitious barrels in Oregon has since refocused to an exploration of grapes grown across Pennsylvania’s vastly diverse vineyard landscape and over two thousand cases produced each year. Sydney Adams, an acclaimed sommelier in the Los Angeles restaurant scene, joined the team in 2022 with a harvest in Abruzzo under her belt. Together, they are making some truly exciting wines and welcome guests into the open concept tasting room and production space to educate and illuminate the journey from grape to bottle.
