As the first winery in New York to achieve 100% solar-powered operations, we demonstrate a forward-thinking approach to sustainability while maintaining rigorous quality standards.Our wines, all produced and bottled in-house, have earned national recognition, including being named to Wine & Spirits Top 100 Wineries of the World multiple times. We pride ourselves on offering an immersive tasting experience that highlights our estate-grown varietals, from Riesling and Chardonnay to Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc. Our team, led by founder Mark Wagner and co-owner Josh Wig, combines decades of expertise with a passion for innovation, ensuring each bottle embodies the essence of our land.

Thank you Mike at the Harbor Inn for recommending Lamoureux Winery. Polly was exceptional. We learned so much of the different wine pairing and wine selections. The chocolates were great when tasting the red wines. Taking a case home. We will return! Steve & Denise

My wife and I visited a few days ago, arriving around 11am, at which point there were two other couples (each drinking a glass) and one group of four who were having a tasting. As we encountered at one other place during our trip, but have neve encountered in any other wine region, we were told we could not do tastings because we didn't have a tasting reservation - we could only order by the glass/bottle. I really don't get this. There were two employees working and only four tables to attend to and nobody else showed up while we were there. Giving 4 stars because the wines we each had

Excellent from start to finish! We stepped into a well-run, well-appointed and attractive tasting room and immediately recognized slight aromas of actively fermenting wine happening somewhere in the building. We tried both the semi-dry and dry rieslings, the pinot noir, merlot and the 76 West blend (a favorite) and they all impressed. Clean and elegant, each was an excellent representation of variety and the 76 West (their Bordeaux style blend) is something their winemaker should be especially proud of. The tasting room staff of Michael, Polly and Jenna were knowledgeable, passionate about wines

Great wine, great staff, one of the most beautiful views on the lakes. Dry reds and dry whites are fabulous. I've heard the less dry wines are good also but I can't really speak so personally.

We stopped in early and there was only one other couple there. A gentleman named Ford, like the car not the Chevy, helped us and he was great. He provided us with the information we needed for the wines we went on to purchase. The atmosphere was relaxed with the reservation system versus first come, first serve. It was our second time visiting this winery and there will be a third.
