The wine tasting is also $15 for 5 different wines with the gold label, and an extra $3 for the black label wines. Honestly don't remember exactly which types we tried, but they were all really good. 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. I definitely recommend this spot if you're in the area!

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!

We visited with Friends to do a tasting but mostly to soak up the atmosphere and it was wonderful. The wines in my humble opinion were great to. But it was very interesting to learn about the locations of the plots and taste the difference in the grapes as well as learn that the winery still keeps up with it's Ukrainian Heritage notwithstanding the generalized Soviet attitude toward more intelligent and energetic members of its society. The person who was doing our tasting was very knowledgeable so we learned a lot. Tasted quite a bit bought some but enjoyed our experience immensely.

The wines poured are ok, and you can tell the grapes are not that ripe. Of course, no fault of the winery, it is a colder region after all. The sparkling traditional method wines were, so so, often lacking the yeasty-ness of Champagne you'd get. And we got to try their famed "Rkats" Georgian grape variety, which was funky and interesting. It tasted like a more refined version of Rakts varietal wines you can get from Georgia. My biggest gripe was the service. With two servers, the service was so that they would pour a wine for you, with an introduction, and go to the next person. Of course, if there is some sidetalk or chit chat, the people in between your next pour, could take a _long_ time. And unfortunately for us that meant a lot of waiting, empty waters, boring time, waiting, etc. It would have been more enjoyable if more wines were poured at once, so there was less waiting. Other than that, the staff are generally knowledgeable and I appreciate what Dr. Frank has brought to the states for viticulture.

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!

If you wanted to just taste a sip of wine, I'm not sure how that works. I am into sweeter whites these days, and the four I tried did not disappoint.

The ambiance is the best part - the patio overlooking the lake is lovely. We enjoyed our wine while taking in the scenery.
