Welcome to our grounds, our tasting room, and our vineyards. We invite you to discover the transcendent terroir of the Finger Lakes Region.
Our staff is on hand to guide you through your tasting experience, providing you with information on our sustainable farming practices and our low intervention but meticulous winemaking practices. They will also present the legacy of our winery, and the historic shoulders we stand on.
Stunning architectural spaces and sweeping vineyards set the stage for your experience. The tasting room and winemaking facility seamlessly connect, showcasing the gleaming stainless steel tanks of our winery.
Depending on the time of year, you will notice our winemaking team hustling and bustling in the background, blending and tasting wines, bottling, or hand-sorting grapes. Or perhaps on a quiet winter’s day you may hear the winery tanks abuzz with our indigenous yeast fermentations. We are thrilled to invite you into our world of wine and wonder.
Hospitality and education are at the heart of our tasting room experience and sharing our wine and knowledge with you is our most important goal, for what is the reason for producing wine if not to be enjoyed and shared?
What to Expect on Your Visit
While we offer wine by the glass and bottle, our tastings are flexible experiences that allow you to design your own flight and mix and match with your friends and family. We offer a deep selection of our wines to choose from so our Wine Educators are on hand to guide you through your tasting experience.
Of Note:
- Reservations are highly recommended – the reservation should be for the total number in your party (including children or drivers).

Nestled within the heart of our winemaking facility is The Library, an intimate setting home to over 2,500 bottles of reserve wine spanning decades of our winemaking history.
This space is reserved for private library tasting experiences showcasing the breadth of our winemaking and the depth of character that develops with age.
During your experience you’ll be taken behind the scenes and into the winery for a firsthand look at where our award winning wines are made.
