We had an absolutely delightful flight at JR Dill. Their reds were delicious and we also enjoyed a soft pretzel with beer cheese, which was great. Most importantly, they are one of the few wineries in the Finger Lakes that waive the tasting fee if you spend more than $30 on your purchase. That’s what you should do. Hats off to JR Dill and Astor. Astor! Highly recommend.

We had a great time at this winery. Very dog friendly; there is a patio as well as Picnic tables in the grass where you can have dogs. Wines were great, staff very friendly, have snacks if you are hungry.

Some of the best local wine we've tasted.

We had a great afternoon as the staff was knowledgeable and friendly. The wine samples were explained and compared. We left with several bottles and will return.

The staff is great, the wine, IPA and meatballs are awesome, and everything is very well priced. It's a great place to relax for an hour and enjoy the lake scenery which is truly stunning. It's family friendly too!

Great Service. JR himself was bartending and very welcoming. Their riesling is definitely a must try. The cocktails (gin basil smash) top. Overall great vibes

I have to say this is a hidden gem on the Seneca Wine Trail. A true boutique wine kind of feel. A very inviting feeling. Extremely nice and knowledgeable staff. The Cayuga White Rise is their best seller for a reason. It's crisp and effervescent and perfectly balanced. We tasted the Three Barrel Blend 2021 a red wine and even though it was a rainy year in 2021 you wouldn't know it. When I said the Finger Lakes was not known for their red wines one of the wine makers said, "it's not the 90s anymore." This was definitely the best red wine I've ever had in the finger lakes. Come in person because you won't find these gems in a store.

Go to the Wine Bar in town, Watkins Glen!!! Abby, the bar manager/florist, is so incredibly delightful and i feel like i'm miss her until my next visit! she was so welcoming and friendly. the windows that open and make you feel like you're sitting outside were so neat! hopefully in October her mom is selling her art out of this place too!

My husband and I came up to the finger lakes to celebrate our wedding anniversary! This winery was the first one we tried and it did not disappoint. The wines were amazing and Everyone who worked there made up feel so welcomed! The person who helped us through our wine tastings was extremely knowledgeable and made us feel so special! Best part was it was a beautiful day in which we got to enjoy there outdoor area which has the most beautiful scenery. I would recommend this winery to anyone and we ended up getting a wine bottle to go. My husband and I both agree this was one of our favorite wineries during our entire trip and we absolutely will come back when we come up that way again! Thank you again for celebrating our special time with us! ☺️

Absolutely the best winery at the Finger Lakes. The Cayuga White Rise is superb! You may want to try the Wine pickels. They are delicious!
Great place, friendly staff!! A must go too ✔️
