We went on a Wednesday, and there were a few stragglers but it was a small wait for food (totally worth it) and quick pours (I'm not complaining about that). It's only 13 minutes north from Watkins Glen, which made the drive back towards the gorge much more enjoyable. We started our wine tasting at Tabora. It was so enjoyable that I bought a bottle on the way out. Would do this again and would recommend for an affordable, picnic style, and an easy wine tasting.

We were warmly welcomed at the entrance and taken care of right away. They have a lovely area where you can relax and enjoy your favorite wine, along with a small selection of appetizers to pair it with. We went on Friday and Saturday, and it was quite busy, but we managed to find a table to sit and enjoy the stunning lake view. The hours on Apple Maps indicate they close at 5, but they usually stay open until 6 from June to September (tasting room). If you ever find yourself on the wine trail, I highly recommend visiting this place!

They were not busy, I was the only one there, my tasting experience lasted about 5 minutes, the server was like a robot, didn't want to interact with me, stepped away in the middle of the tasting to get a donut. When I was finished my husband said are you done already. I worked at a winery and your guest experience should be first and foremost your mission.

Monica led our wine tasting and truly made the experience. She was personable, knowledgeable, and took the time to teach us about Lakewood's history, their wines, and the winemaking process. Nothing ever felt rushed or focused on making a sale. Instead, you could genuinely feel the pride they have in what they produce and their love for wine, which made the tasting so much more enjoyable. They went above and beyond by telling us about upcoming events, recommending other places to visit and somewhere to grab lunch, and encouraging us to take our time walking through the vineyard and enjoying the property. We felt completely welcomed from beginning to end. I left not only happy with the wines we tried, but actually feeling like I had learned something and experienced a little piece of the Finger Lakes wine community. This is exactly what I hoped a wine tasting here would be like. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend Lakewood to anyone visiting Seneca Lake. A special thank you to Monica for making our visit so memorable!

It got crazy busy as we were eating - luckily we made it there before the rush -- whew! The wines were wonderful (they didn't win all those awards for nothin'!) and the views were stunning. We loved the picnic benches for enjoying some light bites (highlights were the lobster butter brioche/scallop/tuna), and also the Adirondack chairs by the firepits! I am not a fan of the rieslings in the region where I live, but I am a big fan of all the rieslings I tasted here! Our group also collectively decided the SH-AG was a favorite. We left with many wines in tow! The young inked guy who started all the fires and brought the light bites out to us was really good humored and kind to our group of gals, who were out for a girls weekend. The gift shop also had a nice array of things to purchase. Get here early as the parking lot was jam-packed when we left around 2pm on the weekend!

When my brother-in-law sent me a photo of Hickory Hollow's bottles, we had to stop! They have a…read moreline of "Nathan K" wines, and since my husband is Nathan K, we immediately made this part of our trip to FLX. The winery is slightly confusing because it is named Hickory Hollow as the Yelp page suggests, but they serve Nathan K wines in addition to Hickory Hollow wines. It can be confusing for those looking for one or the other! But with some searching, we ultimately found the location we were looking for. We stopped on a pretty overcast and rainy day, and we found ourselves to be the only ones in the tasting room. The room is large indoors and with ample seating on the patio outside for nicer days. The interior features a lot of wood themes with low tables as well as bar seating / standing for the actual tastings. Lots of open space, so it would be conducive to a group of folks or even a party! Upon arrival, we decided to do a tasting. We did a tasting with the only employee on the ground, who we learned is the daughter of the owner and brother to Nathan K. She was really lovely to talk with (loved chatting about city vs FLX life and the food scene in all parts of NY and PA with her), but she didn't provide the *most* detail and explanation for each of our wines. No big deal, but having a server or sommelier walk us through our tasting is our preference to really make the experience shine. The wine was solid - not our favorite that we went to, but their reds definitely stood out from the rest. We had a nice time chatting with our server, and we were happy that Nathan K himself walked through the room during our tasting so we could introduce Nathan K to Nathan K! We wound up leaving with a bottle of Cab Franc, which was one of our faves from the tasting and of course, bore the Nathan K label, which my husband adored. I would definitely like to make it back and enjoy the outdoor area with a more informed wine tasting in the future! But thank you for indulging my husband with his own labeled wine!

We ended up buying a bottle after the tasting and enjoying a picnic of food that we brought outside. The view is absolutely beautiful, and there's plenty of seating for big or small parties.

Their wines are always good and often are crowd pleasers. One tweak I'd like to see to give it a 5/5 is to not keep their reds and chardonnays so cool. We didn't get the flavor of those wines as much as if they were closer to room temp. Definitely will still be returning! Always a must for finger lakes trips!!
