    A very cute place near Seneca lake. While it does not have a lake view, its close enough to the main road. They are one of the few wineries that also serve food, so its a great place to grab lunch. The sandwiches we got were amazing (the Brooklyn and the Cuban). I would give the deli and bakery a 5/5. The attached winery was okay. They only do tastings at the bar, not at the table (at least when we were there). It was pretty empty.

    Our next winery stop was Tabora, nestled along Seneca Lake. We were fortunate to have Keith as our server, and he may have been one of the most remarkable people I've met in quite some time. His deep knowledge and passion shone through as he shared the rich history of the winery. The owners originally purchased land in Bucks County for farming but later moved to the Finger Lakes region, where they expanded into winemaking, a bakery, and a deli--a true craft-driven endeavor. Tabora was offering a special deal: buy one tasting flight, get the second free. Normally, I gravitate toward the drier the better, but the Winemaker's Jam caught my eye. My flight included: 1. 2021 Pinot Noir 2. 2021 Cabernet Franc 3. N.V. Heritage Noir 4. 2021 Maréchal Foch I started with the Pinot Noir, a light-bodied wine with aromas of cherry blossoms, strawberries, and dried fruit--absolutely sensational. Keith explained that all of Tabora's wines age in used French oak barrels but never for more than 18 months. Instead of prolonged oak aging, they transition the wine to stainless steel, preserving freshness while imparting just a touch of oak influence. Next up was the Cabernet Franc, which had soft tannins, a light body, and notes of raspberry and green bell pepper, with a slight oak finish--and wow, it was good. Then came my hands-down favorite: the Heritage Noir, a blend of different wines that was dry yet bursting with layered fruit flavors. It was truly an incredible experience on the palate. Finally, I sampled the Maréchal Foch, a sensational, jammy wine with hints of blackberry and pomegranate and a beautifully smooth finish. But Keith wasn't done yet--he had me try a few more, including an unoaked Cabernet Franc, which became another favorite. Aged 100% in stainless steel, it was bright with red fruit, hints of cherry, vanilla, and a touch of chocolate on the finish. Beyond the wines, Keith himself was a standout. As we sipped, he shared his life journey--from New York to Hawaii, a path shaped by his mother and sister. His stories were captivating, and if he ever writes a book, I'd be the first in line to read it. Cheers to Keith and Tabora for an unforgettable experience! #fingerlakes

    Great Bakery...I spent $50 on items to take home and share with family and friends. Everything... taste amazing! Owner designed it well! I truly enjoy strawberry rhubarb baked goods! By the way...bakery building is separate from the wine tasting building. They are like 10-15 feet across from each other! Of course, I shall return!

    Wonderful time spent here at this vinyard. It was pouring rain but we did enjoy it still. There was not much to do but we were a group and we had fun. Forgot to add that Jean was a WONDERFUL HOSTESS to our group. Super attentive and a great photograper for our family pic. There is abakery attached to this vinyard. The food and desserts tasted completely FRESH and delish!!!

    Linzer!

    Visiting today for the Seneca Lake wine and chocolate tour. Stopped at the deli and bakery, and picked up some very fresh marble rye and yo Linzer cookies! We will definitely be back for lunch sometime based on the menu.

    We stopped in for a sandwich and a glass of wine. I didn't care for the ride but the white wine we had was good. Lots of sandwich choices. We chose a sandwich with turkey and Brie. Unfortunately, we felt it was bland tasting. My husband had a blueberry roll which was delicious. I tried the Chrusciki and did not care for it at all. A nice stop.

    Fall Turkey sandwich, Cabbage and rice soup, Orzo Pilaf salad, Macadamia Nut cookie sandwich

    Stopped here for lunch after visiting two wineries. We didn't have wine but I had cabbage soup, my wife had an orzo pilaf salad from the deli, and we split the fall turkey sandwich. Staff was very friendly and we didn't wait long at all. It was enough to feel satisfied without feeling grossly full. The food and vibe is like a better version of Panera. Stop here if you're hungry for lunch!

    Such a great place to enjoy lunch, baked goods, and wine. We had lunch and a wine tasting here and loved everything we tried. The Cuban and the soprano sandwiches were absolutely delicious. The head wine maker took the time to explain and teach us about the history of the wines and the wine making process and was very friendly and attentive. The semi dry Riesling was one of my favorite wines I have ever tried. We plan to come back soon!

Well, aside from our wine guide's name, (I'M SO SORRY) who was EXCELLENT and made what would have been a lost group of women wanting to get lit to an educational experience but ALSO a great time. He curated a list of several white wines in carafes for us to learn and practice different tasting notes. I have never had a wine tasting like this and have never had one like this again, yet. Hopefully that will change during my Napa trip this month! The outdoor seating area is beautiful and green without getting too noisy, and perfect for big groups. There's also a large unending field of grapes - which we definitely posed for an ungodly amount of photos in front of. Hermann J. Wiemer is definitely a wine institution well deserving of all the accolades that I will be visiting again next time I'm in upstate New York!

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.

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!

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.
