Welcome to the Winery

Our setting is as distinctive as our wines. The elegant Main Tasting Room provides sweeping views of Seneca Lake through garage doors open to the fresh air and ceilings that are clad in six of the native tree species of the Finger Lakes. Visitors enjoy tasting experiences at the hand-made bar, or seated at Black Walnut tables. The outdoor Pavilion is open from Spring to late Autumn for comfortable protection from sun or surprise storms. It is the perfect space to sip a glass of wine, and leashed dogs are always welcome. Pet-owners are also able to make a Dog Friendly Tasting reservation for a unique experience in a space entirely dedicated to your dog’s comfort.
