So not gonna lie, we can be real wine snobs. My partner and I love going to wine country. We've…read morebeen to the Finger Lakes a few times and we actually haven't been to a winery with wine that we actually like. The scenery is always lovely. But the wine? Well, it's just not at all to our taste typically. But this was the first winery in the Finger Lakes that we actually enjoyed. Not only that, many of the tastes we tried were good. We stuck mostly to the most dry wines they had. We had their classic Riesling and it was good. We don't even usually enjoy Rieslings but this was dry and hit the spot on a hot day. There is very limited food here. On our visit, they had a charcuterie board with cheese. The meat was tasty. We didn't love the cheese but I was so hungry that I ended up eating most of it. It also came with candied almonds that were incredibly spicy and some crackers. Again, super starving so ate it all. Our server was friendly though his tastes weren't exactly to ours as it seemed liked he liked sweeter wines. Finally, we came here with kids and this place is perfect for that in the summer. They have a big field with lawn games. Our seat was right in front of the window and we could watch them play outside. It was perfect. Play time for kids and wine and relaxation for the adults.

Wiemer has been around since 1979, but they started really experimenting with biodynamic wine production in 2014. That's how I came to find the winery when I was researching which to visit when I was planning our trip. I'm interested in organic, biodynamic, and natural wines, and Hermann J. Wiemer has become a pioneer in biodynamic wines for the Finger Lakes region. (When we spoke about Hermann J. Wiemer at other wineries we visited that weekend and with people we met in the Finger Lakes, it was clear how much respect people have for Hermann J. Wiemer. Everyone had such nice things to say about the winery, that they are pioneers and examples of great winemaking in the region and that they are incredibly supportive of and helpful to younger, newer wineries in the region.) We had a reservation, which I recommend. Even though Hermann J. Wiemer is large, it's popular and they were running out of space for people who visited without reservations. The space is incredible and varied for different experiences. There's indoor seating and outdoor seating. Much of the indoor space has large open windows so you can see the vines and the property from your seat during your tasting. It was incredibly comfortable inside the winery on this very hot day. The tasting is incredibly flexible. They offer 1.25, 2.5, and 5 oz pours of every wine on their menu. This includes more than 20 wines - many Rieslings, several Chardonnays, Gewürztraminer, Grüner Veltliner, Blaufränkisch, Cabernet Franc, blends, sparkling wines, dessert wines, and more. The staff member who was with us through our tasting was friendly and incredibly helpful. With so many wines, she helped direct us to wines we might have more of an interest in trying. We spent an hour or so at the winery (at one point watching a rain storm through the windows) and took a few bottles home with us. I enjoyed the wines and the experience and have enormous respect for the reputation that Hermann J. Wiemer has built in the Finger Lakes. If you're interested in biodynamic wines, Hermann J. Wiemer should be on your list to visit. It's also just a very beautiful, wonderful space and business to visit in the region. I'd very happily return.

Not quite dry enough for my taste but I was happy to try something new. Make sure to look for the ghost when you visit.

The tastings are served while seated at a table and each selection is thoughtfully explained by the expert staff. Atwater has some different approaches to wines and this can be a welcome change from the somewhat repetitive nature of wine tasting. They have a good selection of orange wines and these seem to be growing in popularity. The tasting room is large and looks like a restaurant and there is even a host to greet you at the door. There is an outdoor bar and seating area if you want to enjoy a beverage in the great outdoors
