“great views, great wine, and super friendly staff! Thanks for having us!“
“Wonderful staff and very knowledgeable. The chocolate and cheese pairings were perfect. Beautiful place and great atmosphere!“
“Most beautiful Vineyard. The veranda was very new and very clean and inviting. The owner fielded my numerous questions with validity and patience. Wife and I seriously enjoyed this visit- overlooking the vines. We had an extra treat as we met the couple who owns the tons of bees necessary for growing. Thank you both. Oh,the wines were top notch and we broke down and have lugged some bottles to Queens. Hope to visit again.“
“Easy to get around with an electric cart.“
“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!“
“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!“

“Robert and the other gentleman behind the bar were highly informative and genuinely personable, which made our visit so relaxed and enjoyable! The ciders—especially the Ithaca Punch and Pommeau—were outstanding. We loved having our tasting and picnic lunch inside the barn, where we got to unwind with the view of the garden, chickens, and bunnies. It truly made this visit one of the highlights of our family’s second annual winery and cidery tour in the Finger Lakes. I highly recommend stopping by, and I wish the team continued success in all their future endeavors.“
