Most wines are semi sweet to sweet wines, and offer one dry. The cold climate dictates what grapes are able to be grown in the region. I'm a semi sweet girl so the wines are perfect for me. Staff was friendly and offered generous pores during tasting! Wine slushies are also available and old fashioned sodas they also make, that look so fun! I purchased a bottle of Wooly White and a gift item. There is also a gift shop next door that sells locally made soaps, candles, and other novelties. Definitely add this establishment to your list of places to visit!

The Red wine slushy was great! Tastes just like grape juice! Sweet, refreshing, great summer drink!read more

Conor knows not just the history of the business but is knowledgable in the wines, honey mead and spirits. It was great learning about Montezuma and the variety of wines and spirits they've created. It's a family owned winery and distillery. They have three locations-we visited the one in Old Forge. Just $10 for 6 wines. $13 if you want to keep the tasting glass. Slushies available in the summer, cocktails in the winter. Their fruit wines are just that- no grapes added. Delicious clean flavors! Wines range from bubbly, to crisp and fruity, or dry and smooth. Very nice line-up. Something for everyone. If you enjoy whiskey or bourbon we highly recommend trying the Railroad.. it's dangerously smooth! Perfect neat or in an Old Fashion. Wishing we got a 2nd bottle of that! Defiantly will be back! Wonderful experience :)

As I pulled in I had to do a double take, a winery and Large Garden Center! They had a food truck on site and outdoor patio seating as well! The gentleman working the bar area was very cordial and informative. A tasting of six wines for $7. I was given a couple of extra tastings that were not on my list, bonus! Vidal Blanc , and Bubbly River Rose were two of my favorites. This is definitely a hot spot for locals many coming in with their wine slushy cups that were being dished out like hot cakes! Beer on tap as well. Amazing selection of plants, flowers, trees, and more! I went home with a couple bottles of wine and came back Monday for an enormous and stunning hanging plant!

I asked a server if there was anything they would prepare for me to eat, but they weren't helpful, saying they had nothing else prepared. I've been to other wedding venues that were more accommodating. The cocktail hour food was very good - cheese, fruit, etc. It's a very nice venue overall, with incredible views.

When the package arrived in Florida, UPS made an error and sent it back to the winery. That's when Patty at Thousand Islands Winery became a true Christmas angel. She stepped in immediately, handled everything with such care, and made sure my gift was rerouted to ensure delivery. Her kindness and dedication turned a stressful situation into a wonderful experience. Thanks to Patty, Thousand Islands Winery has now made a big splash in Florida too. I already adored their wines, but now I love everything about this establishment, the quality, the service, and the people behind it. Highly recommend, every time.

Negatives? 1) They close at 9 pm. 2) Mosquitos are horrible. Need to add anti-mosquito equipment, lanterns, citronella, etc. Many options available on Amazon. 3) The food truck service on live music nights is very slow. Friends stood in line for 45 minutes. 4) No outside lights. Very dark outside once they close at 9 pm. Should have some pole lights or solar lights along the walkway so people can see when they leave. A slip and fall waiting to happen. 5) Only one flavor of non alcoholic slushi......after six years. Kiwi. Many kids accompany their parents. Need more choices. 6) Should have strings of lights on the dining canopy.

First off, their website is odd. Not much information, quite confusing, sometimes it won't even load (on mobile device), so if you're trying to make a reservation, call them directly. Location, beautiful, along the river, great outdoor seating. I'm sure dinner and sunset is stunning. Good, it was okay. We ordered kids breakfast, huevos rancheros skillet thing, chicken and waffles, biscuit and gravy, and the whisky flight. The huevos ranchero was good, nothing to rave over but good. The chicken and waffles didn't come with syrup at first, I'm sure it was a mistake. The biscuit and gravy... looked amazing, but the biscuits were hard. Like rock hard, and even after sitting in the gravy, no moisture would come back. Haha Service... the lady was so sweet, but she kept forgetting us, she would place hot things right in front of the baby where she would easily grab it. She had a hard time splitting the bill. Ultimately we had to ask another waitress for water refill and splitting our bill. Maybe we will go back... but not in a rush.
