“Wonderful staff and very knowledgeable. The chocolate and cheese pairings were perfect. Beautiful place and great atmosphere!“
“Great experience at this winery. It is family owned and the customer service was amazing they were willing to explain the history of the vineyards, they had a couple of unique grapes that made some very good wine. I was so impressed I joined the wine club before I left. Oh the views from the porch were beautiful.“
“Many different types of ciders calm laid back open atmosphere“
“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!“
“Easy to get around with an electric cart.“
“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!“
“🥂 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 🥰“

“What’s not to like about this place.
The owners are very friendly and exceptionally knowledgeable about their craft. You can tell this is a passion, not just a job.
The ciders on draught are the pinnacle of what cider can be. Each cider has been crafted with over 5 years of tasting notes and dozens of iterations. There are flavors for every preference. This is not like mass-produced cider; this is pure craft.
Grab a drink and enjoy the relaxing environment. The cidery is located on a farm, with plenty of sites to see.
There are bottles of your favorite ciders for sale, as well as t-shirts and growlers.
Expect high-quality cider and service. I cannot recommend Idiot Brothers enough. Enjoy!“
