“Top quality wines. Bruce was an amazing host. Was luckily enough to give us a tasting on an off day. They only have 5 wines but they are 5 wines done right. Each sip was more delicious than the last. If you are a dry wine fan this cellar is a must try. Quality over quantity. We will be back!“
“First winery we went to in the fingerlakes and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend! There is something for everyone!“
“We love making this our first stop to visit the owners who have become our friends!!!“
“We spent the weekend visiting cideries in the Finger Lakes. Found IBC by chance in a search. This was the best cider by far. The venue is an old barn, the folks who run the place (Richie) greeted us warmly along with Ash, an enthusiastic and adorable Australian Shepherd who is living his best life hanging with the people and hiding bones.
The cool part about their product is how they source their apples—foraged or harvested from old orchards that they maintain in partnership with landowners in the area. Today I had the Amongst The Brambles, a cider made with blackberries. They told us that it is the sweetest of their ciders, but it lives at the intersection of dry and the very driest of semisweet. It is crisp, fruit forward, and has the kind of pleasant tartness and clean finish that makes you want to enjoy another glass.
The welcome area and bar is cozy, but when you wander toward the back of the 19th century barn you find this amazing space filled with antiques and comfortable couches and an ancient copy of the Moosewood cookbook and sunlight filtering through the cracks between the barnboard walls. Between all that and the chickens in the back yard, the effect is magical.
This is the perfect place to hang out, chat with the owners, play with the dog, and enjoy excellent local hard cider. We’ll be going back. I was disappointed that their T-shirts were sold out, but they had some cool stickers to offer (free). If you are in Ithaca, make an extra stop. You won’t regret it!“
“Wonderful off the beaten path winery. Stick around and sit outside, enjoy a glass or a bottle overlooking a fabulous veiw of Seneca Lake.“
“Easy to get around with an electric cart.“
“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!!!!!“
“Many different types of ciders calm laid back open atmosphere“
“great views, great wine, and super friendly staff! Thanks for having us!“
“This past weekend we visited Lamoreaux for a wine tasting. Keep in mind it is winter and slow season. Some places in the area had also closed due to the weather but they had stayed open and I am so glad we had the chance to do a tasting here. The location itself is beautiful. Michaela was so kind and knowledgeable on the wines. Every winery has its own characteristics and selection and she knew theirs very well and made some wonderful suggestions based on what we had liked so far. She went above and beyond for us. The atmosphere was perfect and we easily spent an hour here having a relaxed tasting and chatting with our server as well as other guests.“
“Cranberry Frost was a huge hit at Thanksgiving - good thing I had multiple bottles“
“Great wines, beautiful views from the spacious patio!“
“Although the restaurant was busy today we were seated, waited on, and served in a reasonably amount of time. The food was good and the wait staff was friendly and accommodating, especially since we wanted a window table that had not been bussed yet.“
“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!“
“Delicious burger and wine pairing! Give Red Newt a try for your next weekend lunch, you'll be glad you did! I had the newt burger with fries and a glass of Red Eft. The local ingredients create a hearty meal that fueled me rather than weighed me down. Can't wait to try another burger or a grilled cheese and soup. They put an elegant twist on all they do with bright and friendly staff.“
“🥂 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 🥰“

“A very friendly location with tastings available. Although I didn't care for any of the wines, the staff was friendly and the other customers were too. There was some nice flowers outside the shop as well. The wines were mostly pretty dry.“
