This really is a treasure!! Allow 3 hours to spend time in the museum, watch a short film, take the tour, do tastings, and shop! It was time we'll spent for our group! Jenny, the manager, was our tour guide today. She was engaging, knowledgeable, and plain old a pleasure to spend time with on our tour. She gave us an in-depth tour of the facility with a lot of history! It gave us a better understanding and appreciation for champagne and sherry, how they are made and their history. I hope sherry has a comeback!! What a cool product with so many uses. The property could use some TLC, new roads, some fresh paint, but I get the idea they're doing what they can to keep the business alive. Our tasting experience, also with Jenny was enlightening! We had their champagne, found them to be wonderful! They also offer wine tastings, and sherry tastings. I'd never had sherry before. But it won't be that last time. I'll bake with it, cook with it, sip it! What a treat! They have an on-site shop where champagne, wine , sherry, and trinkets can be purchased for VERY reasonable prices! Don't miss this treasure!

While visiting Keuka Lake, my boyfriend and I ended up running into my mom and aunt who were in the…read morearea celebrating my aunt's birthday. Their next stop was to Pleasant Valley, so we decided to join them. My mom had made reservations and we arrived and added to them. The tasting was only $5 for each person, which was really nice compared to some of the other wineries who are charging a lot for the wine tastings. We were part of the last tastings of the day, so we didn't have time to look throughout the museum they have, which would have been nice. There is a lot of history there. For this winery, you are seated, and you give the server which wines you want and they bring them back with some crackers, and a piece of brownie. I didn't really care for the wines, I like drier, but my mom and aunt enjoyed it.

It got crazy busy as we were eating - luckily we made it there before the rush -- whew! The wines were wonderful (they didn't win all those awards for nothin'!) and the views were stunning.

I am not a fan of the rieslings in the region where I live, but I am a big fan of all the rieslings I tasted here! Our group also collectively decided the SH-AG was a favorite. We left with many wines in tow! The young inked guy who started all the fires and brought the light bites out to us was really good humored and kind to our group of gals, who were out for a girls weekend.

This was unfortunately a low point on our trip and a reminder to me to stop picking places based on…read morethe name (which I'm probably going to keep doing, if we're being honest). My cousin chums and I kicked off our mini winery tour here this past Labor Day around midday/early afternoon-ish. There was a small batch of wineries in the Naples area that were conveniently located within a short drive of our Airbnb, and this one logically made the most sense to kick off the adventures. The first issue is the location/atmosphere. The best wineries for me are comfortable and have a nice, pleasant view to look at while you sip your wine. This just doesn't have that all - the winery is located directly behind what looks to be an old factory building, so your view is of that building or at best, the picnic tables to the side of the winery which are sort of in an enclosed outside area that also doesn't offer any real views. The other problem with this situation is that it's a bit DIY - when we ordered our wine flights, we were instructed to bring them outside to wherever we wanted to sit. That's fine, but to even get to the aforementioned picnic tables, we needed to navigate down one or two flights of stairs and another seating area - you're just begging for an accident to happen here. We probably would have opted for the picnic tables if it were an easier trek to get to them. Instead we went with a narrow high-top situation in the area right outside the building on an enclosed porch which did not have a lot of room for our three wine flights. The fire pit/Adirondack chair situation closest to the door of the wine/gift shop is probably your best bet at least in terms of comfort, but again, it's just a view of the back of a factory building. We each got a $10 wine flight. It was a little annoying to get the little booklet/menu of options indicating we could choose any six, only to be informed verbally and in writing within the actual shop that it was now four. That kind of discrepancy shouldn't be reflected in your paperwork that you're handing out to customers - it looks unprofessional and feels like a holiday cash grab. And a very easy fix; that's a quick trip/order to your local printer at some point, assuming that's a permanent change and not a temporary one to take advantage of Labor Day Weekend visitors. Given that you're drinking booze by definition, what the winery offers for snacks/food is one of its more important qualities. And again, they fell short. At least they DID provide free popcorn, but it was stale and almost inedible. It also wasn't entirely clear what the water situation was; one of my cousins came out with a bottle of it but wasn't sure if it was being offered gratis or not; it didn't end up being an issue, but it was noticeably not good either, which is an odd thing to say about water. But the container it was in had a noticeable smell of dirty dishwater so it didn't seem like they were cleaning their cups/bottles well. Not great. The big problem overall? The wine isn't good, and you kind of know it going in when they're literally selling the wine by the pouch in addition to bottles. It's difficult to take a winery seriously when they're packaging their product in a container that's understandably associated with cheap, mediocre (if that) wine. I ordered the 2023 Gewurz, a Bubbly Reisling, the Schooner White and the Red Cat, which was arguably promoted more heavily than any of the other wines (not surprisingly given the name). The Red Cat probably IS the best of the wines I sampled but like a lot of the varieties, was super sweet and didn't have a lot to offer, palate-wise. I actually tend to like the semi sweet more than the drier wines because for me it's typically a smoother drink and easier to distinguish the notes, but there just really isn't anything here - I hate to say it, but it tasted like fruit juice, which I can just grab from the supermarket if so inclined. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is because the young women inside were very nice. I don't think any of the issues we encountered were because of them; they warmly greeted us as soon as we came in, and were helpful in directing us to the tasting area. They didn't have a lot to work with, and did what they could - that's a tribute to the winery's hiring practices at least. Avoid this one. If you need to drink wine out of a pouch, your local liquor store has them in the clearance section.
