We stopped in here prior to a hockey game and will be back. We are cat obsessed and loved everything about this winery. The wine was great, the workers were beyond friendly and if we hadn't had reservations, we would have grabbed food too. They have cat quesadillas, which i wanted more than anything!!
We enjoyed the ambiance and being "waited on" while here. We each enjoyed the larger tasting and not being rushed to finish it quickly! We were asked how things were but never pressured, which was so refreshing. My favorite wine was the sleepy cat fry white wine! We bought some merch and headed to the game. I cannot wait to come back and enjoy a glass or two while in Allentown!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Roxanne B.Warrington, PA4761Aug 12, 2023
The owner and staff are very friendly. If you love your cat or cats in general then this place is for you. Cat decor is awesome. Wine tastings are awesome. It is a diamond in the rough find.

This gem is tucked away in the same lot as "Udder Bar" in downtown Allentown. The owners and staff welcome you like family from the moment you walk in the door. Cat lovers rejoice in the over 40 cat themed wine choices, but also the simple, yet delicious food offerings. What fan of these four legged furry creatures would not fall in love with a pairing of their favorite wine and a "Catsadilla"? (A delicious quesadilla cut into the shape of a cats head, with the addition of toppings creating an adorable face.) The decor is welcoming and comfortable, with photos of the cats whom the many wines theme come from. While the tasting room seems small, fitting around 30 people at a time, they have additional space in their connected event/party room. This space can be rented out with catering from anywhere, as well as a sommelier serving wine for private parties. They hold many events from fundraisers, to trivia, to karaoke, painting, comedy and more. In addition to enjoying a nice drink or snack, know that they always donate a portion of proceeds ( 50 cents per glass, and $1 per bottle) toward their monthly foundations (Local rescues, vet clinics, and more). This urban winery may not grow their own grapes, however they have received many awards locally and nationally. Despite the title "Sleepy Cat Urban Winery" this is not a locations to sleep on. Stop in and try a tasting and fall in love with the atmosphere yourself!

I got to go to my favorite winery, Sleepy Cat Urban Winery. We had a great time. We ate pizza and I tried the Peaches and Mango wine milkshake. Lol. A shout out to Mark and his niece who made us feel welcomed and told us stories. I love the wine and the company there. Hope to get there every time I get to Pennsylvania.

We went exploring around the area and came across Sleepy Cat Winery. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is pleasant. I tried a Peach Mango wine which was super delicious. Sadly it's only seasonal but if you can get your hands on it buy in bulk it's worth it!!!

Stopped in after receiving a haircut next door at Truth Beauty Salon. The lady welcomed me right away and asked if I needed any help or was looking for anything in particular. I told her I had planned on just buying a bottle of red wine since I was in the area. She asked if it was my first visit, which it was. She suggested I try a tasting since the fee ($5 for 6 samples) is waived with any wine purchase. She ushered me to a stool and was helpful and friendly throughout the whole tasting. The owner, Mark, was also hospitable and very informative.
I ended up buying 3 bottles of wine and a catnip wine by the register for my friend's cat.
The wine was good and if I had eaten more of a lunch I would've tried their specialty cocktail. They said every week they pair up with a local distillery and serve a different specialty drink. This week was a fruity red sangria and apple pie moonshine from Gallows Hills Spirits.
It's a relaxed atmosphere, there's even a TV behind the counter. Overall a cute spot with good wine, I just wish they had crackers or something for a palate cleanser in between wines.
I'd definitely be interest in going back to try the specialty cocktails or for a paint night.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 6Oh no 0 - Aug 30, 2019
Puuurrrrfect!! :-) So, where can I start? My husband and I went to an event / overnight trip to the Allentown area and I was searching for wine spots and came across this one! I love cats (my nickname is "Kat", so.. hehe) and the atmosphere is so cozy and cute and there were lots of paintings and photos that mixed the cat and wine themes together. The staff was SO SO SO friendly and the wines were amazing!!! What I really liked were that my hubby and I have different tastes in wine (he likes sweet and I like dry) and they had such a great variety that there was something for each of us! They even WAIVE your tasting price if you get a bottle and the average bottle is only $12/$13.. so you can get a tasting of 6 wines and a bottle for $12! Seriously amazing!!! Next time we are in the area, we are absolutely going back!!

The first time we went I didn't like the wine it was all too sweet. But the owners and there story was so inspiring. The wine has improved each time we went just ask how they got started and tell me your not sold. That is the kind of local I support.

I wanted to like this winery so much but was truly disappointed. To give them some credit, the staff were very friendly, funny and welcoming and the store was very clean. We sat down for a tasting and a lot of the wines were out of stock, ok, that happens but quite a few on the list. I bought 3 bottles of Smokeys Midnight Treat and didn't see it until I was home that there was nasty black sediment in the bottom of the bottle. The wine didn't taste like the one I tasted in the store. Since I don't live near the store to return them I dumped them down the drain. I won't be returning here again.

Hi CA! The sediment you found at the bottle of the wine are wine diamonds. They are harmless, tasteless, keep the color and the flavor in. They are actually a sign of quality wine! (Look it up). We don’t have the ability to get rid of the wine diamonds. They occur naturally, are tartaric acid from the grapes and if you dry them out, you’d get cream of tartar. Also, the food you eat could change the taste of the wine! That’s a shame you dumped the wine without calling us first. We also haven’t had any complaints about Smokey’s Midnight Treat recently or since March! It’s our best selling wine that our customers love it! In the future, if you get a wine you don’t like, cook with it!!! :)
