Is it possible to leave no stars?! Just went here, the place was empty, but because there were 3 couples, they turned us away and said no more than 4 people at a time. Not very business savvy .

My wife and I were visiting eight wineries on the northern end of Seneca Lake. This winery we visited on the second day. We loved this place. All the white wines that we tasted were excellent. We ended up buying five bottles of wine of all different types here. We also bought their five glass holder to display our wine glasses. We will be back next year.

We did a tasting and had a few glasses. We had flown in on vacation so we could only purchase what could fit in our check bag. The wine was so amazing, we ended up ordering a case online while we were in the airport coming home from our trip. The music, atmosphere, and service was awesome. They had a local musician who was singing while switching between playing an acoustic guitar and a keyboard.
He was great. The patio was nice and most of the tables had umbrellas for some shade relief. Onto the wine. The Riesling and the Traminette were amazing. We tasted several Rieslings and Traminettes from

This was one of my favorite wineries on our tour. This was our second stop of the day. They just opened and were not busy at all and everyone was super nice, talkative, and knowledgeable. They helped us take our wines outside to enjoy and I just felt so welcomed. Beautiful seating inside and out and the view was nice as well.
Wines were very tasty too. I bought 4 different wines. Which is very good for me. They had a large selection and something for everyone. I would love to come back.
