“I went for a tasting recently and had a great time! The owners were interacting with customers, the service was amazing and the environment was comfortable. The servers took time to explain about the wine and the view from the deck is amazing! The prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend!“
“Wonderful staff and very knowledgeable. The chocolate and cheese pairings were perfect. Beautiful place and great atmosphere!“
“Easy to get around with an electric cart.“
“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).“
“Bright Leaf Vineyard is hands down the best winery in the Finger Lakes! My wife and I have been coming here since Mike and Donna first opened, and it’s been our favorite spot ever since. We love it so much that we became Wine Club Members, and their quarterly shipments of wine are always a highlight.
What really sets Bright Leaf apart is how much care and passion Mike and Donna put into their wines. You can truly taste the difference—their wines stand out in a region full of great options. They take so much pride in their craft, and it shows in every bottle. The warm, welcoming atmosphere is a reflection of their dedication to making the experience special for everyone who visits.
If you're in the Finger Lakes, you need to give Bright Leaf a try. Whether you're sipping wine with the stunning view or picking up a bottle (or two!) to take home, I’m sure you’ll love it just as much as we do. Trust me—you won’t be disappointed!“
“We've enjoyed Blackduck Cidery every summer for several years now. The owners knowledge of cider and the story of how the cidery came to fruition is a reason alone to stop by for a visit. They have several types; some dry ciders, some perry's, some still, some sparkling but all delicious and true to the heritage of cidery.(sidra)We'll be visiting soon and hope you're well stocked with bottles to go.“
“There were many options in the town but we picked Sheldrake Point Winery and I think it was the right choice . We loved all wines we tried and bought 4 bottles before left. Ppl were kind with big smiles and of course the winery absolutely gorgeous!“
“My husband and I came here with our 3mo. old and had such a lovely and pleasant experience. We only had time for ONE winery on Cayuga and we chose Lucas because of its history. We came in JUST in time for their last tasting and Carol greeted us and took care of us during our visit at Lucas Winery. She was FABULOUS. Extremely knowledgeable and HONEST about the wines. I love that you get to choose the wines you want from a menu instead of being stuck with a specific 4 or 5. She also added another wine to taste (and we ended up buying it, plus many other bottles because we loved their whites VERY much…one of their workers also brought the box to our car which was so nice.). We met another couple there and made great conversation and just had a total blast. We can’t forget this winery and next time we are back, we will visit again!! Thank you, Carol, for making our experience so great!!!!“
“The overall 4.2 rating is not justified. Most of the 1's are over 2 years old. This winery is a fun place with much to offer beyond wines. That said, there are 23 wines to choose from so something for everyone! Loved that the tastings (any 4 wines you want) came with various crackers, cheeses and fudges to cleanse the pallet and transition into or out of each wine. Joe, our server, was very friendly and shared his knowledge of the wines. Had an excellent experience here all around.“

“I stayed at Crow Nest Farm and was offered a taste of this amazing hard cider! My fav is the mixed berries (we bought a bottle home) Everyone was so kind and inviting. Even the people that came just for the cider were sweet. All around great vibes.“
