“I love Knapp! Such a wide selection of wine. Definitely try the ice wine, it’s out of this world! They gave us delicious local cheese and crackers and our DD some complementary local grape juice. After our flight they let us try a few more that we were curious about. One of my favorite stops on Cayuga!“
“It's nice for a change to be able to taste wines that aren't full of complexity. I chose the varieties that would give me more of the Concord grape flavor and am happy to say they had many. Their back deck overlooking their pond is so enjoyable. Also our visit by a very talkative pony was quite t he treat. Jamie took exceptional care and had the patience of a Saint. We've put this wine out at Halloween for the parents that accompany the children and it's been a hit. So we returned to restock for this year. Not a over the top fussy or fancy winery, but definitely friendly staff and great ?.“
“My first time there and what an amazing experience. The taster Maddie was wonderfully pleasant!“
“We visited on Sunday 9/22 and hands down the group decided it was # 1 out of 4 wineries/vineyards we visited! Low key, delicious wine, friendly hosts and owner(s) and not overly commercialized with expensive trinkets. You can bring your own snacks too (if there isn’t a food truck there). Did I mention the beautiful view of Lake Seneca? Their vegetable garden is decorated for the spooky season and welcomes a few wanderers. It was the perfect end to the day! Put this stop on your list!“
“The best experience of wine tasting in your entire life. Top #1 winery in the Finger Lakes. Everything tastes good, looks good, feels good and absolutely beautiful. They offer something for literally everyone and they just make your experience from start to finish so memorable!“
“Miles Wine Cellars was the perfect place for our small, intimate wedding. The setting was stunning and our stay at the Inn was cozy and comfortable. Staff was accommodating and friendly, sparing no detail. Food was fabulous and perfectly paired with our wine choices. We highly recommend Miles Wine Cellars. Thank you again for making our day so special and memorable.“
“It just so beautiful and friendly“
“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).“
“Discovered this little gem on a summer road trip traveling from Florida. Enjoyed an outdoor lunch and a few glasses of traminette, and was hooked. Fox Run is the only place I order wine. I take full advantage of free shipping twice a year. They never disappoint.“
“Many different types of ciders calm laid back open atmosphere“
“🥂 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 🥰“
“Cranberry Frost was a huge hit at Thanksgiving - good thing I had multiple bottles“
“Did a tasting of cider and mead. It was a gorgeous location, and they had ape truly unique flavors. The ciders utilizing strong spices like cinnamon and ginger were surprisingly muted while still letting the flavors come through.
They are also gnome themed! This especially appealed to me.“
“Definitely visit this winery, it is a gem in the Finger Lakes!! Wow, what a great experience tasting high quality wines! We had a great tasting experience, with a very attentive and thoughtful staff explaining each wine and where the grapes are grown,. It’s obvious that there is a high detail on quality which is reflected in exquisite wines. We loved everything we tasted including the sparkling Riesling,, the Chardonnay and the Blanc de Blanc. Like everyone else, we left with a big box of wine and hope to join their club so that we can enjoy this wine year round. Thank you Susan for making this a special experience!“
“We chose Geneva, NY because it is halfway between our two families and we both really love wine. Zugibe was on the top of my list from the beginning, but I was so happy that it was just as beautiful in person as it was in the photos. We had the whole venue to ourselves, which was so great. The views were spectacular, and we for to watch the sunset during dinner. The wine was delicious--we drank rose all night. Amy was so easy to work with and her staff were so on top of it. She was flexible with us doing our rehearsal two days early, and allowed us to drop things off at the venue well in advance, which was so helpful. There was not one thing I asked Amy that she did not find a way to make it work. We originally wanted to do the dancing outside in front of the pavilion (due to weather we ended up under the tent), but Amy was so helpful and willing to make that work. We had a perfect day at Zugibe.“
“First winery we went to in the fingerlakes and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend! There is something for everyone!“
“We could not have imagined a more perfect venue than Ventosa Vineyards for our wedding. From start to finish, Jackie (venue coordinator) was absolutely incredible. She was professional, warm, flexible, and truly dedicated to making everything run smoothly. Her communication was spot-on throughout the entire planning process, and she made every detail feel important.
The venue itself is stunning. Between the covered, outdoor ceremony space and the elegant, indoor reception area with a balcony overlooking the vineyard, the views are simply breathtaking. Photos really don’t do it justice and you have to see it in person. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the property.
We chose the plated dinner option with three hors d'oeuvres, and everything was phenomenal. At our tasting, it made it difficult to decide between our initial options because everything was delicious. The day-of food matched that same high quality. The steak was cooked perfectly, the salmon was flaky, and the chicken was tender and flavorful. Cory, the executive chef, and kitchen staff did a fantastic job getting meals out quickly without sacrificing quality. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was!
The entire staff including the planning, servers, bartenders, setup, and breakdown crew were all kind, professional, and incredibly accommodating. Everyone made us feel supported and cared. Our wedding day was truly perfection. Ventosa Vineyards made everything feel magical, and we’re so grateful we chose them!“
“great wine but getting too expensive for me“
“Given the area, this place was a welcome treat. Their menu is clearly labeled and changes often. Nice outdoor seating. We ordered 2 salads, a Beyond Burger, a Big A** pretzel, artichoke hush puppies, and had fried sunchokes(!). Salads were great (tough to get a good salad around here), Beyond burger was delish, artichoke hush puppies were great if you are a fan of hush puppies, and sunchokes are a delight just for existing! Unfortunately, the pretzel was dry and bread-y. It was our least fave item and wouldn't recommend it.“
“great tasting wines and friendly servers. love this winery!“

“A very nice lunch at this beautiful place on the lake. The place is so beautiful that it is itself enough to go.
The room is very "old fashioned" and traditional even if it looked a little worn out.
The food we had was of a very good quality although the servings were average to small. A bit pricey but it was evident it had to be so. Worth a visit anyhow!“

“Beautiful old-school vineyard still set up in the old-school way, they have a beautiful fireplace they like to light up and burn when it's freezing out, and have wine while sitting around enjoying each other. That's the way I imagined it anyway. But I loved it here, they actually had some of the best wines I tasted in the area.“
