16 Best Wineries near Aurora

“What an amazing place. We had the best time with Russ. He is very knowledgeable, friendly, funny and just made our day. Unfortunately the deli was closed, but Russ referred us to Aurora Brewing, next door, who had a fabulous fire pizza. Delicious. Hard to pick a favorite wine, they were all absolutely wonderful at Long Point Winery!!!!!“

“Easy to get around with an electric cart.“

“Great wine. Great family.“

“A rainy, gloomy day was meant for wine tasting! I arrived alone and left with half a case of some wonderful wine!! Sitting in a rocking chair by a cozy fire, Jeannie provided an interactive wine tasting and I completed my visit with a glass of Chardonnay offered to me by a trio of new friends! Lakeshore is a must see in the Finger Lakes!!“

“First winery we went to in the fingerlakes and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend! There is something for everyone!“

“Very friendly staff. My girlfriend and I were served by a young German-American woman who was both knowledgeable about the wines and the area in general. Chatting with her and drinking the good quality wine provided an overall very pleasant experience. Thus the Knapp Winery is worth a visit if you are in the area.“

“Just an impromptu stop while working our way around some wineries between Seneca and Cayuga, but so glad we found this little gem. Not busy at all when we stopped but most likely because the Watkins Glen Wine fest was going on at the same time. Randy was super friendly and very informative and even gave us a short tour of the facility. Bruce(owner) was in and out and we got to hear the story of how the Sheperdess got its name. DO NOT miss this place if you like your dry reds!! My wife and I thought they were some of the best tasting and full bodied reds in the region. They had a couple whites that were excellent but not our choice. The selection was limited but I would rather see fewer wines with better quality any day. Make sure to put this on your visit list if you are into high quality reds and whites(they also had a white sangria that we did not try).“

“We had a great experience today at Bright Leaf! Weather was amazing and we just ordered a glass of beer and a Chardonnay (Oaked) plus a charcuterie board prepared by Rebecca. We asked for someone to take a photo, and Taylor was right there to do it.. We were pleasantly surprised by the owner Mike sitting down to visit with us, and talk all about his and Donna’s experience finding this property. Mike brought out a pizza for the two of us to share. I would highly recommend Bright Leaf Winery for your next visit to Cayuga Lake!“

“Cranberry Frost was a huge hit at Thanksgiving - good thing I had multiple bottles“

“🥂 we loved the beautifully done gardens, and dry rose was very good. They even offer a small gift shop, as well as some small eats in a cooler, which was great to take back to the boat. Great place to kick back with you favorite bottle & people or pets 🥰“

“Heart and Hands is definitely one of the best wineries on Cayuga lake. The owners and staff are so knowledgeable and the wine is among the best in the Finger Lakes. We did the UTV Vineyard Tour & Tasting and what an experience!! We learned so much, got to tour the vineyards and had truly excellent wine and food pairings. This is a must!!“

“Many different types of ciders calm laid back open atmosphere“

“Stayed with HH great spot great local apple wine and brandy as well as cider“

“nice wines. knowledgeable employees“

“As a fan of dry red, there wasn't a wine I tried that wasn't exceptional. May, our hostess, was very informative. Even made a pup cup for our canine companion!
There are ciders available as well. Highly recommend and looking forward to going again next time we're in the area!“
