An absolute highlight of my trip to the Fingerlakes!…read more We were a large bachelorette party looking for an afternoon at a winery. This place was chosen for both the proximity to our Air BnB and also because it was more affordable then some of the other vineyards in the area. I will say with certainty that this place was the best part of our trip! The vineyard has a small but suitable selection of wines to taste - you can see my photo for the menu available at the time. Reservations are not taken on the weekends, but we were able to walk in with relatively no crowds. However, by the time we left, it was packed! All of us opted for a flight - which, for the prince, how could you go wrong? The staff was incredibly pleasant and attentive, and they TRULY knew their products. They weren't afraid to say, "I don't think you'll like this [based on your tastes], try this instead." In addition, they had a selection of local cheesed and meats for purchase, so we were able to have a wonderful charcuterie with our wines. After purchasing, we sat on their deck and simply enjoyed being outside with the scenic view. Truly, it looked like it was taken out of a movie - I felt like I was looking at a scenic photo in a dentist office or something, but in the best way! We are so proud to support a local business like this. If I'm ever in the area, I will be sure to add this vineyard to my stops!

Super cute spot with lots of unique cider options and great cornbread/desserts!…read more We tried the Funkhouse, Sparkling Cab Franc, Fruit of the Bloom, and Persici (in order from dry to sweet). My favorites were the Fruit of the Bloom which is infused with ginger as well as the Funkhouse. I liked how crisp the funkhouse was and I loved the ginger note in fruit of the bloom. The others were okyay too, persici was very sweet but paired nicely with the ginger hazelnut baklava which was incredible! I am allergic to pistachios, so I loved that I could eat their baklava! We also tried the cornbread with strawberry and jalapeno butter- absolutely incredible. I am from the south and have had a lot of cornbread but this truly stands out. It came out warm with a slight crunch from the crust while maintaining the perfect crumb inside. Just crumbly enough and not too try! I also really enjoyed the jalapeno and strawberry butters- you can tell they use high quality butter, they almost reminded me of goat cheese. I preferred the jalapeno butter a tad more but both were great! The exterior is beautiful- the views are very nice. I would highly recommend coming on a warm day and sitting outside. We initially sat on the balcony but moved due to the bees. The tables underneath the white tent were shaded and bee-free. Service was pretty quick- our ciders came out almost immediately. We had to wait ~10-15 minutes for the cornbread though, but I didn't mind especially given it was warm! Overall, I would highly recommend!

For the cider flight, Funkhouse and Lake Hause Rosé are excellent plant-based picks, though vegans should note the Honeoye blend is made with honey. The staff is friendly and efficient, promptly managing the busy first-come, first-served crowd. Indoors, the space is cozy but tight, making it tough for large groups on rainy days. However, the sprawling outdoor seating (May-October) is fantastic, spacious, and fully wheelchair friendly. With its casual vibe and moderate price point, it's a stellar spot for a relaxed day date or a scenic group outing. Just roll up early since they don't take reservations!

Also hosts a pretty spectacular view looking out at Cayuga lake. Randy, the older gentleman that tends to the place is a fantastic human being. Very kind, welcoming, knowledgeable and great to converse with. He is the shining star and reason people will return/give good feedback. The bad: The Owner (Mark). I saw mention in a previous review that he may be on some sort of epilepsy medication that makes him act "off". Not sure I buy that excuse at all. He appears to be heavily intoxicated or on some sort of drug. Conversations with him were awkward, impossible to follow, and just plain uncomfortable. The comment he made about comparing his ex-wife to a dog was the point he completely lost us. To top it all off, he started to become a bit too friendly with my wife while I walked away to use the restroom. That was the icing on the cake. While I understand his medications make him act "off", the above mentioned behavior is inexcusable, medicated or not. We also watched a large party come in and quickly leave after the owner visited their table. Frankly, if it weren't for Randy, we would have also left after interacting with the owner. Conclusion: This winery has a lot of potential and provides a really great product. Equally as important is the overall experience you provide to a patron. The experience is not a good one with Mark (the owner) in the picture. He tainted what would have been an easy 5 star review. Randy was the saving grace. As a business savvy person, I highly recommend keeping Mark as far away from customers as possible. He is a liability and will drive the business into the depths of extinction.

It had a nice patio that is nicely decorated to sit out and enjoy a nice glass of wine. We've never had the wine and decided to try a flight. The flights were great because there was a mixture of both dry and sweet, something for every palate. Every flavor tasted great and high quality. I absolutely loved the red blend - it was unique flavor that could easily become a new go to for red wine. I also really enjoyed the drier flavor of the Rose so I picked up a bottle of each to bring home. Highly recommend if you live in the area to check this place out and spread the word about a great local business! If you are passing through the area, definitely don't miss checking out this wine bar. While enjoying the wine in the patio, we talked with the owner and had a great friendly conversation. There were also others on the patio who really seemed to be enjoying their time.

The bottle I brought had me out of breath and Googling "do Asian dads like super dry wine" mid-sip. It was a bold red, super dry and refined, but honestly not my favorite. The guy behind the bar mentioned one of their wines tends to appeal to a younger audience, and yeah... maybe that was the one I should have picked. That said, their whites and more refreshing options were actually quite nice - definitely more aligned with what the Finger Lakes does well. Pro tip: Stick to the whites, sample before committing, and come for the chill vibes (and maybe a soft reset for your palate).

They opened the new tasting room in July 2024 and we just got a chance to check it out as club members. Noah was fantastic, providing us great insight into the winery and its new wines. We love the wines here. It truly is a hidden gem. I sampled the following; 1. 2023 Rkatsiteli dry with bursts of tropical flavors. 2. 2021 Gwertztraminer nice semi dry white with nice smell and taste. 3. 2023 Betty's Red blend which is a blend of several reds and tastes amazing. 4. 2021 Cabernet Franc light body but a terrific taste 5. 2021 Osprey Another blend of 60% Cab Franc and 40% Lamberger 6. 2021 Lamberger which is a medium body red aged 12 months in neutral barrels Saperavi which is a unique grape but good taste Overall, the wines were fantastic, and the experience was top-notch.

I specifically went to pick up a wine named Miss Chevious (part of their "naughty" wine selection), its an unlocked Chardonnay that is A MUST HAVE! The rosé, so delicious my husband said "we need at least 3". We sat with our glass while they boxed our case&looked around.
