Great local family run winery. It was our first time here and we were not disappointed. It was a quiet day so Chris, the owner, was able to spend a lot of time with us. We each tried a tasting and he included some crackers, cheese and chocolate and encouraged us to try certain pairings to really get a good understanding of where the wines excelled. They have a lot of semi dry and some dry reds. We really liked their dry reds and even decided to take some home. Very cool that his tasting room and some of his vineyard is right next to his home. Stop in if you are in the area.

Chris led us through a spectacular tasting! We are so glad we stopped here and will be back up soon! Definitely a highlight of our trip! Edit: We have since made it a habit to visit CJS and Izzo’s every time we are in the area. We opened our last bottle of Fosterville White from 2023 after a long afternoon of lawn work. We immediately went into the discussion of how wonderful this wine is. Sweeter than we normally drink but perfect for a warm day. Absolutely lovely and went way too quickly. Chris & Jan, we will be Back soon to get more.

Our group (family and friends), spent time at CJS Vineyards and our host was Chris the wine maker. The experience was memorable and the wines were all excellent! Thank you again Chris for being a wonderful host and spending the time with us!

A tasting must!! Chris (the owner) was a pleasure and the wine was wonderful if you prefer dry wine!

Had a lovely tasting experience with the owner, Chris. He is very knowledgeable about his craft and explained the art of wine tasting in an accesible and clear way for myself and my partner (we are both wine amateurs). Cheese, chocolate, and crackers were provided with the tasting as well. Highly recommend visiting CJS Vineyard if you’re in the area.

Our family had an awesome time sampling some great wines and learning about them with Chris, the owner. We left with 8 bottles. Great pricing too. Make sure to add this stop if you’re in the area!
I end up stopping by this winery just to take a break while driving back from Canada to the US. It was mentioned online that the winery close at five but in reality it was closing at four, so we barely made it in time. The owner was very nice. He still end up staying open a little longer. Explain all wines and even offered us an extra few tastings. I would definitely recommend this is place:

First vineyard we stopped at while on a trip to Niagara. It is a small vineyard with wonderful location and nice wine variety. Chris is an excellent host and it was a pleasure meeting him and tasting his wines. It is a more intimate setting than the other commercial vineyards in the Finger Lakes region. It is worth visiting if you are passing through.

A great little winery off the beaten path, but well worth a visit. Co-owner Chris and his wife produce 10 wines mostly with grapes from their two vineyards. A good mix of red and white, sweet and dry - something for everyone. Chris is very passionate and knowable about wine. He and his wife are very friendly and great hosts in the tasting room.
