Magnanini Winery, Restaurant & Distillery

What a surprise! Such a great atmosphere! We were there on Friday night, it was a bit chilly out, end of October. Coming in listening to their entertainment, the singer was really good! With funny choices like ghost busters and the Adams family theme songs, yet he makes them his own and sounded great!
Next we found a table and ordered food. I ordered their Cinderella soup and my bf ordered meatballs, both were delicious! Then their grappa's (cocktails) were just yummy!
It was a really great experience and I would easily recommend this to anyone looking for a nice tasty place to hang out.

I have been here a few times. The first time the pasta was delicious ? as well as all the appetizers. I went today and the food left much to ne desired we ordered pumpkin pasta and beside it been underdone it was warm at best and drowned in sauce. The meatballs which are usually good were cold. They say all this comes woth crostonis but its just cold bread beside your food. I ordered the butternut suasj soup and it was terrible it tasted just like the sauce on the pasta. The drinks and wine are good but I won't be coming back.

Good food and wine. Auto gratuity 18% though they don’t even serve you water or alcohol (go to bar or stands for that).

The second time around was even better! The food was absolutely amazing, the drinks were just right, the band was so much fun, and I absolutely loved the scenery. Can't wait to go back!

10/10 best winery I've visited in upstate NY!! Garrett was amazing, extremely attentive!! The food is fresh and amazing. Cant wait to come back!

Unforgettable place, always in my heart. Best homemade food. Trying to be there soon, I really miss the fun, atmosphere, music dancing, the view, wine, services. I keep recommending to everybody I have a chance. Suggestion, for people like me, over 65, will be perfect to have an option of charter transportation , leaving from Newark or Kearny, NJ or any spot around the area. Most of us don’t drive anymore and if some do, cannot drink and enjoy. Magnanini should offer a package including and providing travel expenses for the dancing’s nights. We seniors will appreciate it.☺️???

Very impersonal. Wines seemed very young yet had a vinegary undertone. Venue is spacious.

18% gratuity!! And we had to order on line. Then had to wait in line (12 people) to buy 2 cans of beer. Might not come back. Hellooo! Tony D.

Staff is always very friendly and helpful.
It's a great place to go relax and enjoy a nice drink and good food in a beautiful environment.

Went to the Sunday Brunch with some family and friends. There is basically no service, not even an explanation on how to order, get a drink or get a menu. You had to scan a code for the menu and then figure out on your own that there were specials posted in another room. You had to pre-pay for your food for which an 18% gratuity was added to the check +3% if you paid via credit card. I had the chicken sandwich which was delicious, but it was $22 +18% gratuity plus tax which made it a $26 chicken sandwich. Unbelievably expensive and I don’t think dropping a sandwich off to a table warrants an 18% gratuity. None of us received our food together, so we all ate at different times. Two of our group didn’t like their meal at all, one said their dish was OK. Although we had a great time together, some of us won’t be going back again unless they change their service, tipping and pricing policies!

Very disappointed with this establishment. Overpriced charcuterie board with very little cheese and meat. $40 to be exact for nothing. Loaded with vegetables and grapes. There were not even any mushrooms on the board like it said there would be. Drinks are overpriced compared to many other places around the area. Pathetic experience. Go elsewhere

Very good atmosphere, the wines are of very good quality and flavor, the food is good and not that expensive, the service is very good, the place is beautiful to enjoy with friends, and to enjoy a getaway as a couple.

Great setup for fun and food trucks

The place was very nice and the hostess who treated us was very kind and very patient. The A1 wine tasting. We had a great time as a family.

I was there on 4th of July.
Place is cool and food was good.
I had the 5 wines tasting but I really didn’t like them.
Just my personal taste.
Be aware though cause when I checked my bill the day after I have noticed that the amount wasn’t what I expected to be.
After calling the winery I found out that they have charged 3% extra on my card which is done pretty much everywhere now but it’s kind of illegal and I wasn’t told about it.
Plus the gratuity were already included and once again,I wasn’t told…clever server wanted to make a bit extra.
So I have left a nice tip without knowing that they were taking it already.

Be aware??
