11 Best Wineries near Seneca Falls

“First stop on wine tour. It was a must because everyone loves the wines. Fudge was pretty good too! Thank you for having us!“

“My friend and I were on our way home when we saw a sign for CJS Vineyards. We ended up turning around and stopping in - Chris and and the wines were both wonderful! He explained each wine in a way that was easy to understand and helped me to branch out my pallette. I will definitely return!“

“Visiting from out of town from Michigan and the owners gave myself and the group I was with a top tier experience for a wine tasting! So friendly and such a lovely atmosphere made by John and Lorraine. It was a chilly day and being inside did not take away from the gorgeous view of the barn, pond and vineyard in the spring time. Cayuga White was my favorite along with the Italian herbs olive oil on bread! highly recommend and would come back when back in town!“

“This place was so cute - a nice change from the larger wineries. The view is gorgeous and partially guided tasting is only $5. They take walk-ins and even accommodated myself as a non-drinker with juice. This is definitely worth a stop - support small wineries!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Absolutely loved our visit to Heart & Hands Wine Company. Both owners are often on site, and their hospitality truly makes the experience special. They are incredible hosts — welcoming, passionate, and eager to share their knowledge.

The wines are absolutely delicious, with a personal, small-batch tasting experience that feels unique compared to larger wineries. Their Pinot Noir in particular was outstanding — easily some of the best Pinot Noir I’ve tasted in the Finger Lakes region.

You can tell how much pride they take not only in the finished wines but in every step of the process, from the vineyard to production. Their knowledge and passion for winemaking really come through during the visit. If you’re anywhere near the Finger Lakes, this is a must-visit winery. Highly recommend!“

“What a fun experience at Swedish Hill Winery! Mary and Kenya made our wine tasting so memorable. They were kind, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Their genuine hospitality made all the difference. Highly recommend!“

“Made a last minute decision to stop by Ventosa Vineyards and arrived just in time to get a wine flight before the 6:00 cutoff. There was plenty of room to sit at a table in the large outside seating area and enjoy the sunset and the spectacular view overlooking the vineyards and Seneca Lake. The wine was wonderful and we decided to order the charcuteria board and caesar salad as a complement. The charcuterie was generously sized and appropriately so for the cost. Everything was delicious - the assorment of four cheeses and several italian meats, grapes, olives and premium crackers. The caesar salad was excellent as well - fresh greens, crispy flavorful croutons and the right amount of flavorful dressing that didn't drown the salad. I've no reason to think that the rest of the menu would not be equally well prepared. In addition, the staff was very friendly and the service was prompt. Very pleased that we stopped by and plan on doing so again before we head off. Highly recommended for the wine, ambience and cuisine.
Stopped by the next night and ordered the delicious pizza and listened to music performed on the patio. More good reasons to visit Ventosa Vineyards.“

“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.“
