Keuka Lake 🍷
The wineries on this lake you need to stop in and try!
German influenced winery that expands just about every year we go. They have a beautiful view of the lake and one of the few places you can get a Gewurztraminer. It originated in an old school house still on premise.
Weis Vineyards
Full disclosure we love this winery so much we our wine club members. The owners are 6 generation wine makers and you can taste the French influence. Literally up a slight hill from Weis you need to stop in here. Drink the Cab Franc and Chardonnay!
Domaine Leseurre Winery
Australian and Finger Lakes room in a new tasting room with an amazing view. Suggestion try it all you cant go wrong.
Living Roots Finger Lakes
Seneca Lake 🍷
Our favorite wineries on this lake
Do you like red wine? This is one of the few wineries on the lake that specializes in reds. Here you will find a new frizles tasting room but reds that are just being released already aged 5ish years. Highly recommend the Cab franc
Shaw Vineyard
Winery with a View! I can't lie and say we love the wine but they do arguably have one of the best views on the lake and usually a staff member is up for telling you a tale of the house being haunted.
Miles Wine Cellars
Feeling like drinking more quality reds but also maybe checking in with your inner hippie then this winery is for you! The owner is eccentric in all the best ways and has solid wine though perhaps a bit pricer by bottle compared to others on the lake...
Silver Springs Winery
Hello red wine and exclusivity. It's not open often or at least we have the worse luck with their hours but if the timing works out and you like reds go for it! You'll get some bragging rights you got to try it plus potentially find a new favorite
Shalestone Vineyards
Do you love Reisling? The Finger lakes are known for it and here serves up some of the best. I would recommend a reservation especially if your a party larger than 2 or a time crunch.
Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard
Wineries for a Group/Hanging Out
Although I personally think the wine is average- this could be a great stop for a group. Especially if you have a non wine or alcohol drinker in your midst. You can do a beer tasting and they make some sodas you can do a tasting of. I personally love...
