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!

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. I had riesling (good but not extraordinary), Lost Irishman, Seneca Steamer (I enjoyed these both equally), and Viva (sparkling). The ambiance is the best part - the patio overlooking the lake is lovely. We enjoyed our wine while taking in the scenery. We purchased two bottles of wine and one hard cider, and they were all $19, The bathroom could use an update, but that was my only quibble.
