The winery industry in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania had 176 wineries in 2023, according to Census County Business Patterns (NAICS 312130, Wineries). They employed 1,837 people in mid-March and reported $41.9 million in annual payroll. That is the 6th highest count among the 49 states and DC with published figures. Wineries make up 0.06% of the 307,065 business establishments in the state.

Per 100,000 residents (2024 estimate) Pennsylvania has 1.3 wineries, in line with the national rate of 1.3. The average establishment has 10.4 employees against 14.4 nationally. Payroll per employee is $22,793, 60.9% below the U.S. figure of $58,235.

Pennsylvania's largest markets for wineries

Census published winery counts for 19 metro or micropolitan areas that include part of Pennsylvania. The largest is Philadelphia, PA-NJ-DE-MD, with 43 establishments (a multi-state area; its count covers every state it spans). Single-state metro and micropolitan areas account for 68% of the statewide total; the rest are outside any published area or in areas Census suppressed.

Team sizes at wineries in Pennsylvania

38.1% of Pennsylvania's wineries with employees had fewer than five people in March 2023, compared with 42.5% nationally. 63.1% had fewer than ten. At that size the phone is shared, so routing (who rings, when, and what happens after hours) matters more than the number of desk phones.

Calls a winery in Pennsylvania has to catch

Wineries take calls about tastings, events and wine club memberships. Club members expect personal service.

A few of the calls that come in to wineries in Pennsylvania:

• A couple calls about a vineyard wedding.

What a phone system costs a winery in Pennsylvania

Wineries in Pennsylvania average 10.4 employees, so the comparison uses a 10-person team. Per-seat business phone plans bill every one of those people. At month-to-month list prices checked September 28, 2026, 10 users on RingCentral RingEX Core cost $300.00 a month and 10 on Ooma Office Pro cost $249.50. Callata comes to $199.00 a month for 10 users ($99 a month with 5 users included, then $20 per additional user), below both.

Over a year, that is $1,212 less than RingCentral for a winery in Pennsylvania of that size. Annual contracts lower some competitors' prices, so compare the plan you would actually sign.

Pennsylvania has 15 geographic area codes in service according to NANPA. Callata includes up to 3 local numbers, so a winery can hold a number in more than one of them.

How Callata works for wineries in Pennsylvania

Callata Office costs $99 per month for up to 5 people, and each additional user is $20 a month. That covers up to 3 local numbers, calling from a browser or your cell, transcribed voicemail, recorded calls with AI summaries, after-hours routing and E911 on each number.

AI agents are optional: an AI receptionist or scheduler can pick up when the team is busy or closed, take a message, send a text or email, or transfer the call. They draw on prepaid AI minutes ($0.25/minute), disclose that they are AI, and outbound AI calls require prior consent and are limited to 8am–9pm.
