Our Story

Proprietors Rob Kobrzynski and Christine Pucciarello, the husband and wife owners of Three Hammers Winery came from diverse backgrounds. Their life experiences melded perfectly together to create a memorable experience for wine lovers.

For more than 25 years, Rob worked in advertising as a creative director and owned his own company. His design sense and experience with branding and marketing was a natural fit for developing a winery. He designs the unique labels seen on the wine bottles, originates the creative merchandise found in the winery, and captures the beauty of nature expressed through the photos on the walls.

Christine is a former vice president of finance and operations. Her business sense, managerial experience, and financial know-how made her an invaluable contributor to the success of Three Hammers. She’s a highly motivated and dynamic leader with an impeccable eye for interior design and decorating.

Their careful and detailed redesign of the farmhouse and their thoughtful transformation of the barn have earned them the nickname “the Chip and Joanna Gaines of the Poconos.” Brimming with enthusiasm for oenology and filled with marvels from their travels through the wine regions of the world, they were driven to create a memorable wine experience on this beautiful, natural, and historic property. Together, with their winemaking team, they lovingly create wonderfully balanced wines using both French and West Coast styles of winemaking.

Come meet some of their talented service staff and the creative winemakers of Three Hammers Winery who pour their heart and soul into each drop of delicious wine. Our people make the wine and create the experience.

our approach to winemaking

Winemaking is a craft that combines the skills of art and science. We aim to create something unique from an array of individual ingredients. It is that process and our attention to detail that is the source of quality.

A well-made wine will seamlessly balance fruit, acidity, oak nuances, alcohol and tannins. A great wine, however, will take all of that and then elevate the outcome by introducing additional characteristics to the mix–that unique complexity and those rich layers of intriguing flavors. We approach our process with the intention of crafting wines that incorporate all of these qualities. We are able to take our wines to this higher level because of something that we realized early on–paying attention to every detail in the vineyards that we partner with yields special nuances in the grapes that will become our wine.

Our hands-on approach and attention to the smallest of details–from vineyard partnerships, to barrel selection, through the bottling process results in a distinctly improved experience for those who partake of our wines. We wouldn’t have it any other way. It is our hope that you will find the soul and a sense of place in our Three Hammers wines, and that you will come to know us as crafters of wines with balance, complexity, and character. We want to keep you intrigued glass after glass, bottle after bottle, memory after memory.

why three hammers name?

We are extremely proud to serve as stewards of this piece of Pike County history and thought it would be appropriate to use an illustrated depiction of the farmhouse on our wine labels. It’s our way of paying respect and homage by naming our winery after the three brothers named Hammer, who built this beautiful home on this charming property. Even then, they knew that with the right tools, you can craft an experience.

history and the farmhouse

The farmhouse is the oldest known existing building in the township. It is a white clapboard house built in 1820 by Israel, Abraham and Eli Hammer, three brothers belonging to the Society of Friends of Philadelphia. The original homestead included the present day structure plus a dam and saw mill. On the opposite side of route 590, adjacent to the West Falls Creek, the stonework from the saw mill is still visible. Locally, the house and grounds are known as Whitehall or Whitehall Corners. The present owners are the 8th family to own the home and property since 1820.

The farmhouse currently serves as our rental space and business offices. It is in the farmhouse that we host special private rentals, farmhouse speakeasy experieences and culinary food & wine pairings.
