They would have excellent views in the late spring and summer. I enjoyed their reds though there wasn't anything that particularly stood out for me. They had a sparkling wine that was semi-dry and would make pretty decent mimosas. I liked that they also had beers from a Belgian brewery based out of Geneva. You can taste some of those as well. read more

The most welcoming winery on Seneca Lake. We came with our 2 kids and everyone was so kind and lovely to us - I am not sure who our server was, but she brought my daughter paper and colored pencils to play with while I did my tasting. After my daughter was done creating a masterpiece, they hung her picture by the register. The wine was fantastic as well! Will definitely be coming back when we adventure to the Finger Lakes again. read more

Omg! Best winery so far! Super knowledgeable server/owner. Explained everything in great detail to us. Loved on our dog. Invited us into the air conditioned area on a hot summer day and provided treats and so much attention! Other pup owners came in while we were there and they were all as happy as we were to find such a pet friendly place. Wine offerings were so tasty. Bought a few bottles and definitely on our list to visit again! read more

Prejean Winery - Dog friendly - Wineries Near Me - Penn Yan, New York

One of my favorite winery stops along Seneca lake. Lots of outside seating with a tasting available table side. We were greeted and served immediately! Very happy to enjoy some local craft beers... all were really good. Beautiful atmosphere and the views off the surrounding rolling hills were the perfect backdrop for an amazing weekend getaway with the girls. Bathroom was clean and well stocked, the staff were great with all the covid guidelines but still providing a wonderful experience! read more

We very much enjoyed our visit here. They are friendly to all demographics. When we arrived, there was a semi rowdy, bachelorette party wrapping up their visit, but we were a group of four adults and two small children, and they were very friendly and engaged with us as well. We did the tasting and they were very knowledgeable by the different wines. There was a sparkling white and a sangria type that were particularly tasty. We purchased some bottles to take home and very much enjoyed our visit. read more

This is our vote for one of the best wineries on Seneca Lake! After visiting a couple of other tasting rooms in the area and feeling a bit underwhelmed, the hospitality that we received after walking in the door at Prejean was such a breath of fresh air. Right from the start, Amy was so kind and made us feel right at home - pull up a chair, get settled in, enjoy the experience. She walked us through the tasting and was very in-depth about each wine, answering every silly question I had and enlightening us about the region. Out of all the wineries we visited, we learned the most about Finger Lakes wines from Amy at Prejean and enjoyed ourselves immensely along the way. Not to mention that we really loved the flavor of the wine here! One of our favorites was Ethereal, which is effervescent and almost drinks like a Prosecco. We brought a few bottles home for Sunday brunch. But their Goldfinch Dry Riesling is also not to be missed. The views of Seneca Lake are stunning and there are little tables out front to sit and linger on a nice day. We also had a great time perusing their gift shop with lots of lovely handmade goods. This winery is not to be missed while visiting the Finger Lakes, especially if you appreciate good conversation over delicious wine. read more

This was a great stop! We originally picked this spot because it emphasized that they were dog friendly. Dogs could come right into the tasting room and they even had a fenced in area for dogs to run and play. In addition, they had a great outside area to sit and enjoy a glass. We LOVED this spot because it felt like we were treated like family. The staff were kind and very helpful! The wines were delicious and the owners were very knowledgeable during our tasting! read more

"Wine" - we had an excellent time at their wine tasting. There tasting consists of 5 1/12 oz pours and tried 4 reds and 1 white. All for $10. The grounds are beautiful and they grow their own grapes. We didn't realize that NY state is ranked 4th in number of wineries in the country. Also, learned that Rt 14 has almost a third of all the wineries in the state. Incredible. You feel your in Napa! read more

I visited this winery last Wednesday and by far it was my favorite winery I've been to on Seneca Lake. By no means am I a wine connoisseur, but I definitely enjoy a tasty drink. My friend and I both got a tasting of 5 wines each. All of the wines were delicious, but my personal favorite was Tiger Lily. It was a perfect blush wine in my opinion. Not only was the wine delicious but the service was stellar. The server was personable and so so kind, making an effort to develop a connection with us. The setting was quite beautiful as well, with beautiful outdoor seating under a gazebo. An extremely positive experience, and the first place I will be visiting when I go back to the FLX region. read more

My husband and I stumbled upon Prejean because it is one of the only wineries open until 5:30 on Thursdays and we're so glad we did! We split a tasting and enjoyed all of the wines, particularly the rose. We spent awhile chatting with our pourer, which is one of my favorite parts of the wine tasting experience. This was a relaxing way to end our day of wine tasting. read more

Had such a great time at Prejean! We visited over Memorial Day. The weather was not great so we opted to sit inside. We brought our dog and the staff was so sweet to him. We tried multiple tastings through their flight options. Overall really really loved the dry Riesling and ethereal wine. I had such a great time I only took one pic apparently this place also had a few beer options which was great as my husband isn't a huge wine person read more

Clearly I've been stopping here for a while from Pennsylvania. Everything is wonderful so you don't have to comb through a bunch of losers. The owners have provided a welcoming environment with great wines and great staff. Worth the trip read more

A quaint and quiet type winery with a friendly staff to taste some good wines. Many were more on the dry and sweeter side, and should be served chilled. It's a winery kind of on the smaller side, but with a nice selection, and laid back vibe to come in and do a tasting. Some quality white wines here such as their Reisling and Gewurztraminer, along with a selection of dry and sweeter reds. An amazing discovery here was a wine that we were told is great to make frozen slushies with! Yup - we were even given the recipe. Their Cabana Frank wine made as a slushy with ice and sherbert. Frozen wine shlushies for this lushie? Whoa - this might be dangerous! read more

Looking for a friendly and fun place for some wine tasting? This is the spot! Not only are the folks here welcoming, they are personable too! They took there time to explain how the different types of wine that were created here and made recommendations based on our preferences. They also have a small front patio and outdoor tables and chairs for people to hang out. (: Must-try: Prejean White Lotus- a semi-sweet white wine with grapefruit and orange aromas; best served chilled. Super refreshing! (All of us bought a bottle!) read more

Went to Prejean with a larger group and the staff and owner were very accommodating. Super great environment in the tasting room. The servers were excellent and very friendly. Most importantly the wine was phenomenal. We will definitely be back the next time we tour Seneca. read more

I really loved this winery on my trip to the Finger Lakes last year. Their Chardonnay is out of this world, and I also really liked their Rieslings, both the semi-dry and the semi-sweet. The wine tasting room is spacious with a beautiful sprawling porch with amazing views. Plus, the winery is dog friendly. A great place to stop for a glass or two while taking a drive and exploring the area. read more

I have visited this winery several times over the past 10 years and my palate has changed but I have always liked their wine. This was the very winery I ever visited when I turned 21 so obviously I only liked sweet wines then and they had stuff I liked then (don't ask me what now). Then when I was 24 it was my first stop for cursing the lake and I enjoyed their wine then. Now at 31 almost 32 (eek) I still very much enjoy their wines. I am a lover of dry Riesling's and theirs hits the spot. It's very affordable priced ($14.99 for a bottle) plus I do enjoy their reds as well. I know many say you can't get a good red in the finger lakes but I think you can it's just a different type. Overall it's a great winery, I will continue to stop here and enjoy the wine and views. read more

Solid winery option. They make sweet and dry wines. Being a dry wine fan, I especially liked their Gewurztraminer, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Red Lotus. They're a popular winery, so they do get fairly busy, so a reservation might be advised. read more

This place is great it has my very very favorite wine ever riesling it's the best in the area I buy it by the case whenever I can love love love that location It's very scenic and lots of outdoor seating now with Covid read more

Wow, what a nice place. Stopped in by chance and was greatly impressed. Owner was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We've added this to our favorites! read more

A group of friends and myself were doing a bunch of wineries up and down the lake. Nice winery to stop at oneSeneca Lake. The staff was so friendly and were great conversation. There were several wines which were very tasty. We loved their hand painted wine glasses. We bought one with a Golden Finch on it; that's my favorite bird. We also noticed it was dog friendly. The tasting room was gorgeous. Suggest stopping here. read more

I must admit that this was our 8th winery of the day, so some of the wines are a little foggy. The wine themselves were very good. My wife, father, and I prefer dry wines; and their dry wines were very good. My Mother prefers sweeter wines, and she said she enjoyed their wines. None of the wines really stood out as a great wine, but this was the 8th winery of the day, so my palate was gone. The server was very knowledgeable of the wines and very friendly read more

We've been going to Prejean every wine trip for many years. (It's actually usually our first stop.) The people are super friendly and the place is unpretentious. The wine is consistently good and has a variety of price points. The tasting is affordable - 5 (or more) for $5 and you get a coupon for a couple bucks off if you buy a bottle. I love their cabs and they also do a Marechal Foch that is very good. I'm a mostly dry red girl, but everything they have is reported to be good by friends and family. read more

Lovely winery, good Chardonnay's and Riesling's and sweet wines. We really enjoyed our time with the Prejean's, our sommeliers. We didn't get to taste the Steuben beer because of COVID-19, but I'm sure that would be good too. I highly suggest stopping at this family-run winery for a personal experience. read more

They are a loving family oriented winery. They treat you as a family member. We have been coming here for the last 12 years. Great wines and prices. We are from nj and pa and always ask to say Hi to Tom the owner. Great job AJoanne, Linda, Rick, Pip read more

They sell an award-winning reisling that is to die for! There are a lot of great wineries in the area, but Prejean is a step above. Definitely make sure to stop by if you are in the area! read more

I lived in Syracuse in the mid to late 90s, and Prejean was one of our favorite wineries to visit. The woman behind the counter used to always recognize my wife, so we always got a nice welcome. The wines were always good, especially the whites like the gewurstraminer and reisling. It's been a long time since I've been, but if I still lived in the area, I'd be sure to stop by. Also, they used to make great mulled wine during winter. If you can get there on a winter day in the middle of the week, you'll have the place all to yourself. read more

Local and friendly feel here. Nothing fancy but very tasty Rieslings and they even have a Cab Sauv and Cab Sauv blend that are respectable. Definitely don't see a lot of that in the region. The operation here is fond of French varietals and it shows. Prices are very good, especially compared to places like Fox Run (yikes). read more

There is a lot to like about Prejean Winery: great dry and semi-dry wines (even for me, a semi-sweet drinker), knowledgeable, friendly staff, who are very attentive, and amazing ports. Prejean seems to specialize in the semi-dry, which is unusual for the Finger Lakes region, known for sweet and semi-sweet wines. They also have a large number of reds, again, unusual for a mostly white-wine area. They also have a sweet red, which I found to be a bit cloying; and a semi-dry red blend which was excellent. I was, however, disapointed with the Pinot Gris. There was nothing bad about it, it just wasn't very exciting. The owners are the staff, at least when we were there, and they are both friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable--and very good salespeople. Expect to walk out with more wine than you intended. My favorites there were the ports. I am not really a port drinker or expert, so take what I say with that in mind, but the two ports I sampled and purchased were the best I have ever had. Sweet without being cloying, fruity and just bit tangy, they had a rich, velvety feel in my mouth. Loved them! Edit: They also will refund the price of a tasting from a purchased bottle of wine, and offer discounts based on the number of bottles purchased, starting at 3 bottles. read more

Yep, lived up to there reviews. Don't bother with Miles winery. They pale in comparison. Very personable experience. Lovely people. Very knowledgeable. read more

Great selections of wines. The guy behind the counter knew what he was talking about. We tried about 10 wines total and ended up buying a bottle of their "Cabana Frank". It has a unique blend of reds that are sweetened, very good body and feel. It's a hot seller as well. read more

Prejean Winery - Great mix of deep red grapes that is sweetened, but not too much. - Wineries Near Me - Penn Yan, New York

This is one of our favorite wineries!!The three sisters go for a wine trip every May and this winery is a MUST stop. Top notch Rieslings and top notch owners!!! Don't pass this one by on your ride along Seneca Lake, you will not be disappointed! read more

We went here because it was on the way. The staff was very nice. Some of the wine good and bad. Red wines were not good like the white wines were very good. read more

Delicious wine! Went there as a part of the Lake Seneca Smokin Summer Kickoff wine trail. Good white merlot, and they have a few other wines that were rated highly as well. My favorite was a chardonnay port. Definitely the interesting factor that I look for! read more

One of my favorite wineries to visit in the Finger Lakes. They have the best sweet wines, many of them have received awards. The selection of dry wines is great too, though I am a fan of sweet wines in general. Staff is consistently friendly and helpful. Cute little gift items in the shop. Love their t-shirts, saying "Life is too short to drink bad wine." All of the wines are made from grapes right there in the field, nothing imported. Would love to go back again next time I'm in the area! P.S. YOU NEED TO TRY the Cabana Frank wine as a slushy with ice and sherbert... best drink ever, esp in the summer. read more

My wife and I are fine wine lovers who have traveled to the Finger Lakes for our anniversary every fall for the last 20 years. Over that time we have come to think of Prejean as a must stop winery. Overall the wines are exceptional and well crafted, nothing but the most obvious love of wine making as science and art. No commercial puppy mill for weekend tasters here. Art in a glass without undue pretense or attitude. During our visits we have also come to know Tom Prejean, the owner and wine maker whose passion exudes from initial nose to lingering after taste. I has not been all perfect. There was a year when some Chardonnay seemed to turn too quickly once we got it home and Tom, passion now for customer service, promptly replaced the defective bottles. A tip of the hat to you Tom Prejean. We, for two, appreciate your craft and thank you for your work. We would be great friends if we lived closer and, who knows, perhaps the distance won't be the biggest obstacle! In the meantime, I toast you with some exceptional Reserve Chardonnay. read more

One of our favorite wineries on our trip. Beautiful grounds and we loved all of the wine! Definitely worth the stop. The owners are incredibly kind as well! The wine list was sorted by dry and sweet wines which was perfect for choosing our wines during our tasting. read more

Another oldie but goodie on the Seneca Lake trail. An airy tasting room, lots of wines from sweet to dry, a view of the lake from the other side of the main road - this winery is very similar to Hosmer on Cayuga Lake. I concentrated on reds here. The pinot noir was very good, but I was really wowed by this varietal I never had before: Marechal Foch. Notes of elderberry and currants. They had several reds to keep dry fans happy, including a tasty cab sauv and a lighter (compared to Virginia) cab franc. For the white fans, they offer Gewurztraminer (both regular and dry), dry Riesling and a crisp pinot gris. read more
