The fondue had a the distinct chardonnay flavor and enhanced the flavor of the pretzel and salt. It's a simple appetizer, but I recommend you try this! Then I ordered their orange mezcal pork tacos. Two flour tortillas stuffed with pork, cheese, caramelized red onions, and drizzled in an orange mezcal sauce. The sauce is what took these tacos from plain pork tacos to "Wow, I need these tacos again." This is a winery and the food area is cafe style. Bring your wine and seat yourself. When you are ready, you can place your orders up at the counter. A laid back take on winery dining. Right now rated an 8.4 on my Beli, this winery is a must try if you are in the finger lakes region!

My husband and I visited on a slow Winter Sunday afternoon and had a lovely time. We had about a dozen tastes and received a great welcome by Danny in the tasting room. He introduced us to their setup and provided strong recommendations once he knew our preferences - lovely service. I love the idea of visiting Once as convenient or at the beginning or end of a trip to the finger lakes. There are several wineries we did not get to visit on our trip. I kind of wish we went sooner to inform our final winery visit choices. I'd definitely go back first on our next visit to the finger lakes. They have snacks available. We had a nice charcuterie board!

Save some of the other larger for the busy weekends, and go to Yates midweek. The owner is a lot of fun to chat-up and learn about the history of the place and about his journey, all while sitting on a very old, stately 1830's porch. You won't get that experience on a weekend when they're really busy, and honestly that's what I liked the most about this place. There are plenty of other larger, more faceless vineyards around that you can save for the weekend. Try the gewürztraminer. Parking here is plentiful and an easy walk to the porch. He does have a German shepherd, but he seemed VERY chill, so no worries there unless you're very skittish around dogs. I submitted updated hours, as it showed closed, but wasn't, so hopefully that'll help more people get the experience.

There was literally one other car in the parking lot. We walked in and the man who worked here was being creepy with the only other woman in the place. He was complimenting her appearance in a very uncomfortable way, and somehow their conversation went poorly quickly because he became irate and was speaking to her in an unkind way. Again, the whole time we stood there dumbfounded-- not a "hello, we'll be with you shortly" or even an acknowledgment of any way. We eventually just left without trying anything. Will not be coming here again.
