Disgusting way to mock the plight of many immigrant workers who keep the vineyards and grapes moving along. Have more integrity, respect and compassion. We wouldn’t have wine without immigrants. Full stop. If you support sheldrake you support the current administration and the actions that they are committing against the very backbone of the wine industry.

The winery was very cute, and had nice variety of wines. I can't say the wine was the best, but it is definitely worth a visit, with choices of food as wells as wine tasting. The view is great too.

Very good tastings! We didn't stay for food, but the menu looked good! The Long Island family staff was super nice and very knowledgeable about wines. The Gewurtztraminer was exceptional!

Corey Dusel

Wow! This place blew away my expectations. The food, exceptional. The wine, delightful. The portions, generous. The wait, non-existent. The views, stunning. 14/10.

Spent a few hours here with friends enjoying lunch, a few nice white wines, and the gorgeous lake view. Very pleasant and delicious! Our waitress, Maeve, was attentive and professional but never made us feel rushed in any way. Just perfect.

We sat inside for a wine tasting. In retrospect, we wish we had sat outside. It seemed very formal inside. The tasting itself was disappointing. Our server simply took our sheets that indicated our wine choices. He then returned with the wines but took absoluteky no time to explain anything about the wines. He was pleasant but wholly uninformative. The wines were okay but nothing remarkable. At $15 per person for a wine tasting, it was so not worth it, based on the above. We won't be back. As an aside, we also went to Thirsty Owl. It was $5 per person and the server was far more informative ... as one would expect at a wine tasting.

This place was disappointing… we waited about 5 mins to get served and almost over an hour for a pretzel. We were really excited to come but then were insanely disappointed. Kind people who work there though

Good wine. Great ice wine. But pretty generic experience. I was the only one there tasting and still got no info on the wine, vineyard, wines....just sat there by myself.

Sheldrake Point Winery was an awesome stop! We enjoyed French Dip sandwiches for lunch and it was truly the best French Dip I’ve had ever! We loved several wines but the “Bubbles” was our favorite. Incredible views of both the vineyard and Cayuga Lake. We’ll definitely recommend this special place, with a short, pretty walk down by the historic Driftwood Inn.

We were treated rudely and the server was unwilling to answer basic questions about the wine. Aren’t these places are here for the purpose of promoting their wine? We left without tasting and will not return.

We came in for a wine tasting and some lunch. The view is really nice from the lawn.

The wine was not for us, the service was in full-on zombie mode, and the food was disappointing to say the least. On the upside, the food took so long they took off a sandwich from the bill. Giving an extra star for that effort.

Very pleasant winery with some very nice wines. The staff were attentive, helpful, and knowledgeable. The sparkling wines were especially good. Enjoying the 2023 Blanc de Cabernet Franc as I'm writing this.

Not worth my time. I did not enjoy either the service or the wine. Even though it wasn’t very busy, the staff seemed overwhelmed. We waited to be seated, and received no information about the wines we chose to taste (which were more expensive and unpalatable than several other wineries I visited this week). Then we needed to hunt down a server, so we could pay and leave.

The outside of the winery was very nice! However, when we entered, no one greeted us for at least five minutes and they weren’t super busy. We were seated and made our choices and all four of us chose different wines or taste. The person brought the wines to our table and didn’t even tell us which order to drink them in and didn’t tell us anything about the wines. I am not a super picky wine drinker, but I was only able to finish one of the wines as they all tasted bad to me. My friends each left at least one or two and didn’t enjoy their wines either. For a $15 tasting, SO not worth it!
