    Buttonwood Grove Winery Riesling grapes.
    Edmond G B.

    First - The Buttonwood Grove Winery is located in a gorgeous part of the world and their facility is really welcoming. One of the great things about the winery is its people. They are smart, knowledgeable, and seem to genuinely like what they are doing. They know their wines and answer questions openly and honestly. The downside of Buttonwood is that the majority of their wines aren't worth drinking. Of the 15 that my parents and I tasted, only two were worth it: the 2023 Melody ($16.99) And their sparkling wine, called "The Farm" ($24.99). We DID love the cheddar cheese that they sell! If you drink Oregon or Washington state Pinot Noir wines, don't bother with Buttonwood's. They are weak-bodied and just not worth the price. AVOID THE RIESLING PET-NAT 2021 AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT. It's genuinely terrible. For the record, a five-flight tasting is $15.00. As costs go, it's not a bad deal. We bought 4 bottles of the Melody 2023 and one of the Prosecco. It was a nice visit and we'd probably do it again.

    We made a reservation for wine tasting. We were running late, called to inform them of our delay and they were just delighted we notified them in advance. VERY nice place! We did our sampling outside to enjoy the views. I left with two bottles. Stephanie has a great personality and we enjoyed her attention. They even had gluten-free crackers!!

    First off, the winery is in a beautiful setting. Located in a rural area overlooking the lake and a vineyard. In addition to the main building there is a large covered patio. There are Adirondack chairs with a fire pit on the front lawn. We didn't have a wine tasting reservation- but were warmly greeted and purchased wine tastings. Our hostess was very amiable and the tasting included French bread, a little cheese and some wonderful 'hot' honey. The wines were very good. It's a nice place to unwind and enjoy the wines and beautiful grounds.

    We made reservations for their wine tasting for 6 ppl ($12 pp). It includes 1 pre-selected wine and 4 of your choice. The wine tasting session includes the sampling of local cheese and bread. My top wines were their Rieslings but others were as delicious. Definitely worth a stop! Another pluses: (1) you are interested in getting something more substantial than a cheese and bread there is a food truck in the property. (2) They allow for pets in the patio.

    We've been to Buttonwood several times and enjoy their wines. Tasting experiences are pleasant and their wines are reasonably priced. They also rent cabins (something we've said we need to do. Last weekend we went to their "Cool Your Cabin Fever" event and had a great time. We snowshoed around the vineyards, sat by the fire, and enjoyed some great wine, soup and treats. The experience also included a tour which was very informative. The only negative was the price. They charged $30 per person and we were only provided with a glass and a half of wine, small cup of soup and a few small samples of sweets. Every thing was quite good but in hindsight the price just seemed a bit high.

    The location is beautiful, even in the cold season, and the inside was very comfortable. Stephanie made our visit so special. As a fellow long islander, we really connected. She made our visit so personal and we felt like family. The wine tasting was only $15 per person, with option to upgrade if wanted, and it comes with bread and delicious cheese. I bought a block home and some Blackberry wine! Can't wait to come up and visit again soon!

    This was the winery after Torro Run Winery. Who happens to own Buttonwood Grove Winery. When we arrived here, we found out that they have their own cottages that you can stay at. Nothing better than staying at a winery, where the drinks keep coming. We arrived and picked what we wanted to sample, they escorted us to our seats and we chose something small to eat. They placed people sampling in a certain area. It was nice, we sampled the wine, the chardonnay was really good. We decided to have a glass or two or three, so we went to the bottom of the yard and enjoyed drinks. Ended up purchasing bottles to take home. This was in August, as I write this, I want to open a bottle now. :) I recommend coming here. The service and friendliness is nice.

    Last winery we went to and by far our favorite. Great view, every wine we tasted we enjoyed. Good service and a great ambience.

    We visited on a quiet Thursday before lunch. Wine was tasty but not exceptional. I enjoyed the Rose the most. The tasting came with cheese and bread which were both tasty. My wife liked the cheese in particular. Our server was not exceptional, and didn't seem to know much about the wines.

    Stopped into Buttonwood Grove Winery on Saturday afternoon. A lovely winery with great staff and an excellent selection of wine, but it was the little things, like their snack option, that truly makes them stand out. Quality: Buttonwood Grove Winery was one of my favorite stops on a recent visit to Finger Lakes because they really went above in beyond. We did two Tastings and tried the 2018 Chardonnay, 2019 Fume Blanc, 2019 Gewurztraminer, 2018 Riesling, 2019 Big Hollow Block Riesling, Pinot Noir Dry Rose, 2018 Cabernet Franc, 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2018 11 Barrel Red, 2018 Big Red Blend, and Redbud. We came away with two excellent wines in the 2018 Riesling and 2018 11 Barrel Red, and not a single poor one. I also loved that they took the mandatory food rules and did not just put out pretzels or crackers. They brought in some delicious local bread, local cheddar cheese, and some Cheeky Monkey sauce creating an excellent snack. They clearly spent time doing it and what they did was convert us to the sauce, which we also brought home. Quantity: Very generous tasting pours, and appreciated a good size snack. Value: $12 for a Tasting of 4 Wines with Bread & Cheese. $13-$30 for Standard Wine Bottles depending on the selection. Ambiance: Buttonwood Grove Winery is located in the Upstate New York Finger Lakes region, in the town of Romulus. We visited after a recent snow storm, so the property was blanketed, but you could see some of the vines popping up. I would love to see it green, as the massive lawn looked great as did the outdoor seating area, complete with fire pit. We spent our visit inside the large tasting room, which has plenty of spaced out seating mixed with the store. It is dog friendly, but be aware there is a winery cat that makes the rounds. Christmas music played in the background and it fit perfectly with the seasonal decor. Crowd: A decent sized crowd with several larger parties celebrating. Love that they are dog-friendly both inside and out. Service: Excellent and authentic service. Very happy to accommodate our dog, even though it was clean they still made sure to wipe down the table again in front of us, and they provided wonderful descriptions of each wine. Parking: Good sized unpaved parking lot on the property.

    We took a ride down the Cayuga Wine Trail and so happy we found Buttonwood - it was our favorite! Lots of options for wine and dog friendly! We did a tasting (5 wines for 5 dollars, and you pick the wines you want to try which was great... or 3 reserve wines) and made the hard decision on which to take a glass off and sit on the patio. The ladies doing the tastings yesterday were FANTASTIC (I feel so bad for not getting their names) - right amount of conversation and really wanted to make sure we were finding the perfect wines for us. Live music was playing at just the right volume and perfect ambiance for a nice summer day. View was great too! We made our own cheese and meat board with the options in their fridge - they also had fresh loaves of bread from Skaneateles. When we bought our food and glasses they also let us use a cheese board/cutting board and gave us a knife. I promptly bought four bottles to take with me and am considering the wine club so I don't need to go without them when we go home. My favorites were the Rose and the Big Red Blend!

    Great location to enjoy wine, a snack and music. My wife and I visited in June near closing to hear the musician. We did the wine tasting. That was disappointing as the 4 pours were about an ounce each. Next time, I'll go for a bottle and a snack. The wine is OK, we thought each were very thin but representative of the varietal. The location is great.

    We were a little disappointed in the wines we tried here. Didn't love anything in particular. Not much else to say.

    They have the best wine in the Finger Lakes (hence why they won the 2017 Governors Cup for their 2016 Riesling).

    Not a "Villa" - Expect Rustic…read more We rented the farmhouse, cabins, and bridal suite for a group of 18, expecting the advertised "luxury lakeside penthouse" experience with air conditioning. What we encountered was unacceptable from the moment we arrived. None of the rooms were clean and the buildings are not well maintained. Numerous light bulbs were burned out, the farmhouse freezer did not work, and some of the beds were so broken down that sleeping on the floor may have been more comfortable. No one showed up to check us in. The air conditioning was not working in the farmhouse or cabins, and it failed in the bridal suite the following day. The property was so unbearably hot that we had to spend our first night in a hotel. Two cabins had no electricity when we arrived, and the farmhouse later lost power as well. Even more concerning, my 85-year-old mother fell in a deteriorating shower that had no grab bar. This was not simply an inconvenience. It was a serious safety issue. We contacted the owner repeatedly and when he finally responded to our concerns, his answer was essentially, "Next time, stay somewhere else."

Although we didn't have food we did have a few of their adult beverage creations. The cocktail menu is creative without trying too hard. The drinks were delicious and well balanced. They also had a good selection of local wines. Sarah was incredibly attentive and a great server. Whether you're passing through or spending the weekend in the Finger Lakes, make this a must-stop. Ask for Sarah and let her guide you through their drink list--you won't be disappointed.
