Be brave, take that ride down a long winding gravel road because the destination is worth it. This winery has lovely flights of Riesling and is moving into the Cab Franc space. This winery has beautiful outdoor seating and a couple large party event areas. The servers are very friendly and it's rare if you don't run into the owners on your visit. The view is wonderful, so after your tasting, plan on staying for a glass ... or two. And, did I mention, they have free electric car charging stations! read more

Hands down one of my fave vineyards in the finger lakes areas. They produce the best Rieslings. We have been a member since either 2016 or 2017 and order from them twice a year. Finally got to use my free tasting perks as a member this time. 2 free tastings per membership. 5 tastings. The Rieslings this year are exceptions. Ordered about 2 cases and of course had to open a bottle to enjoy the gorgeous view on their Adirondack chairs. Service was exceptional. The owner Bruce literally stands there before you enter to guide you for wherever you need! read more

Boundary Breaks - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Lodi, New York

Boundary Breaks was one of the highlights of my 24 hours in the Finger Lakes. The wine overall was good--not the best I've ever had--but the rosé was absolutely to die for. Definitely a must-try and worth grabbing a bottle to take home. What really made the visit special was the atmosphere. Sitting out on the Adirondack chairs with a glass of wine, soaking in the lake views, was hands down my favorite moment of the trip. It's peaceful, scenic, and just a great place to relax. They're also incredibly dog-friendly, which I loved. They had water bowls for your pup, a small dog park area, and even a friendly winery dog that roams around greeting guests. My dog was so content, which made the experience even better. The lady who served me was so sweet and had great pairing recommendations as well! If you're in the area and looking for a laid-back spot with beautiful views and a killer rosé, this is the place. read more

Quiet, beautiful views, lovely wines. Alison was great for our wine tasting. Thank you.

The brides favorite winery, special part of the bachelorette. Reservation secured for our party of 11 and confirmed with owner in advance. We were not warmly greeted, there was no record on their part of our reservation. Thankful our party planner kept good records to prove her email communication with the owner. Once inside we were spoken to like kids, requesting we "keep it down" Thankfully the wine experts behind the bar were on point with their customer service. The owner should take note. They treated our party with kindness, respect and fun! We were honorable patrons who enjoyed our time there and yes we kept quiet. Even spent $$ on the delicious wine. Beautiful way to start the Bachelorette weekend in spite of ownership. read more

Amazing winery on the finger lakes. I have been a member for 3 years now. My bf and I enjoy coming here every June and pick up a bunch of wine and sample their new wines as well. Dog friendly, beautiful scenery, and some of the best rieslings and gewurtztraminer in the area. No added sugar! The owner Bruce and his employees are very nice people always and try to accommodate us. I bought a group of friends here this year and they all enjoyed it very much. Thank you for a good experience every year! read more

We came here at the end of our Saturday wine adventure and enjoyed the last of the sun from their excellent patio/overlook. We were greeted by the owner with a friendly run down of where we could taste and enjoy, and handed off to the server under a tent. The set up is basic, but we loved their approach to sweet vs fruity and helping you find the wine you like most. Friendly staff, accessible approach, and beautiful views. read more

Boundary Breaks tasting house is a beautiful modern farmhouse building. The tasting room itself has displays explaining several aspects of the region and their winemaking process.

The views of the lake are gorgeous. And the wine was great. Collectively, our group sampled everything on the menu and enjoyed each one. The overall quality here is easily among the best on the lake. The service was also great. Rich was quirky and fun and gave us excellent background on the wine varieties we sampled. I would definitely recommend. read more

Boundary Breaks - Outside - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Lodi, New York

The first time I was here was in the fall of 2017 when I was participating in a Seneca Lake Wine Trail event. Finally five years later, we stopped here when my boyfriend and I were in the area visiting another winery. I had no idea Boundary Breaks had such an amazing outside area. When you come in the cold, you don't get the same experience as in the summer. The Finger Lakes are amazing to go to at all times of the year, but you can't beat the summer experience. The hostess seated us and there were two chairs and a couple side tables and a breathtaking view of the lake and vineyards. Our server was extremely friendly, Margaret, and explained the situation to us. We ordered flights, because there was so much I wanted to try. We also ended up getting a couple glasses as well and left with a bottle of wine. Dogs are welcomed at this winery, which is always a treat to see pups. When I'm in the Finger Lakes, I really enjoy looking at the view and sipping a glass of wine. This winery has made it to the list of places I like to lounge at. read more

This is our second visit to this winery and first in 5 years. I wanted to stop the last time but we passed it up. So much has changed in 5 years since we last visited the winery.

Spectacular! I can not wait to visit this winery again! The greeting was super friendly and we had no reservation yet were treated like we did. The quaint winery is beautifully decorated with a long bar, spacious area, and clean. We were seated outside in Adirondack chairs with the most amazing view of the lake, it was beautiful. First off we were given menus, then served water. Choose a flight or a glass of wine, both were great! I enjoyed tasting the different wines and got a feel for the winemakers style. We chose the cheese and bread basket which was fresh and delicious and she even wrapped up the cheese we didn't finish to take home. Would highly recommend this winery if you are in the finger lakes area. read more

My girlfriends and I got a driver to do some wine tasting. This was our very first stop and we were very impressed by the lake views, professionalism, and taste of the wines. Our server was Laurenda and she was amazing. I appreciated her pouring out a slightly flat sparkling wine in favor of a fresh bottle because she supports the integrity of the wine and holds it to a high standard. She gave us a bonus pour which was also much appreciated. "Be a boundary breaker" is a great slogan and my friends and I had to buy matching shirts! read more

Great place for dogs. Super dog friendly. Excellent tasting options. Air conditioned room inside to try a glass or purchase your bottles. Lots of shaded sitting area outdoors overlooking the lake. read more

We came here on recommendations from a coworker of mine, and we were not disappointed! The view of the lake and ambiance here is unbeatable. Definitely fell in love with the view and feel of the place here. The owner's dog is the most adorable and gentle dog ever and comes up to greet you. It's a great place to come with your own dog too. They are very well known for their Rieslings here. We did a tasting flight and our favorite was definitely the Riesling bubbly dry. You have to try it! I love their diagram explanations of how sweet and dry their wines are. After doing the tasting, we went inside and grabbed a couple bottles of the Riesling bubbly dry. We came here early and got seats very easily. Could only imagine when the weather is even nicer and how crowded it could get! Staff wore masks at all time. The place was pristine clean. Everything was so spaced out. Definitely felt COVID safe! I absolutely recommend coming! read more

If you are looking for a really nice Finger Lakes Winery, this is it. They have a nice selection of good wines here and our tasting expert was very helpful. Our favorite is the Gewurztraminer Dry. We also enjoyed the bread, with some amazingly good cheeses. The view of Seneca lake at this winery is fantastic and they have comfortable, shaded outdoor tables to enjoy it. Will we definitely visist here again. read more

Even though we've been to the Fingerlakes many times, this was the first visit to Boundary breaks. From now on, it'll be on the agenda for every wine tasting trip. Not only was the service superior, but the view of the lake was great and the wines were among the best we tried, especially the Rieslings. The outdoor seating with umbrellas makes you feel like you're on the beach! Next time we'll come hungry so we can add some food to our wine tasting experience. As an added bonus, they offer free car chargers for EVs. We took advantage to charge our PHEV while enjoying our wine tasting. You do need to create an account on Evoke in order to use the charging stations. read more

Giving one star as it's not possible to only give a half star. This vineyard left the worst taste in our mouths and it wasn't just the wine. We arrived to this beautiful winery and were so excited for our time here. Our friend had been before and had the best time. She was thrilled to take us here. We were looking forward to this our entire trip. We were seated at a picnic table which had a great view, as most of their place does. We then realized there were Adirondack chairs that were a bit closer to the view and looked much more comfortable. We decided to ask if it were possible to move to this section. We were very friendly in our request and were told they couldn't accommodate our party, as that section only sat parties of 2 or 4. We later saw them bring out an extra chair to a larger party, but again we didn't complain about this. Our tasting came out and we were barely one glass in when the owner came over. We thought he was going to apologize for not accommodating our request for Adirondack chairs or to let us know some has opened up. Instead, he let us know he had multiple jobs here and one of which was enforcing the seating rules. He pointed out a sign at the table that said we had 45 minutes at the table from sitting. We were incredibly confused as we had literally just arrived and sat and ordered wine. We were so caught off guard by our experience we later asked our server their there were a problem with our table. We let her know the owner came over and explained they wouldn't "kick us out" but as they weren't a restaurant they were losing money. There were several tables around us that were seated around the the same time, but were never informed of this "rule." This seems like a faulty business model. They did express there were "people waiting" but there remained several open tables. We also called out this was not mentioned on their website, which they acknowledged, but said they didn't want to turn people away. Essentially, they lure people here but only enforce this rule for "certain" tables. As they approached our table with a piece of paper asking us to leave after 45 minutes (photographed). While the view was great, the wine and the service truly tarnished the entire experience. We were interested in buying bottles of wine but were so turned off by our experience. I would definitely recommend checking out another vineyard as there are so many out here that really prioritize hospitality and don't rely on their view. read more

My husband and I had a wonderful relaxing time here after visiting several parks earlier that day. In all honesty, we are not wine experts, just know what we like by tasting, and just want to relax with a lake view. We were allowed to sample 3 different Rieslings and purchased a bottle of the medium one to take outside. I had googled all the wineries with lake views and this one looked the best in pictures. But it's even better in person. After a short gravel road, this beautiful wide lake expanse comes into view. The lawn has many Adirondack chairs with tables for 2 and umbrellas. The building is new, clean and modern. We liked the Reisling and I'm happy to see that it is available for purchase at a Wegman's in our area! read more

Although this winery is off the beaten path, it is so worth the trip. The views are gorgeous and the wine is delicious. The women working there were knowledgeable and friendly. They are known for their Rieslings and they did not disappoint. Highly recommend. read more

Awesome view!!! Enjoyed a bottle of their signature Riesling with friends on their open area. Lots of Riesling choices

We did the bounty board for lunch and it was a pretty nice set up. They have their warehouse set up as a dining room. The only awkward thing is that you have to walkthrough the kitchen to get to it. On one wall they are projecting the view you would see if this room had window. On the other wall they have a video going with a history of the winery. The bounty board starts with a teaser of mushroom soup. The board includes a beet and goat cheese salad; gazpacho; potatoes with tomatoes, broccoli, cheese and bacon; and fruit. For the main course you could choose a burger, chicken caprese sandwich, or a vegetarian sandwich. I chose the burger. The remainder of my party chose the chicken caprese. I admire their farm to table efforts, but this is not designed for a picky eater like myself. For example, if you don't like tomatoes 3 items on the board have tomatoes on/in them. Also, my burger was severely undercooked and I had to send it back. Even the server agreed it was medium rare at best. I didn't love the raspberry vinaigrette as it was way too thick and the fruit for dessert was not traditional fruit which could be fun, but I didn't really think it was. Our server was really nice, but didn't seem to be super knowledgable about the menu items or the wine. She often had to ask someone else when we asked her a question. They don't do wine flights with the bounty boards, but she was kind enough to get us a taste of two of the Rieslings so we could decide which bottle we would like to order with our lunch. Because we didn't have a tasting, our server wasn't really trying to sell us on the wines. We liked the Riesling, but we didn't try all of their wines and so we didn't buy any to take home with us. read more

We came in 30 minutes before closing and were given a thoughtful, well informed, and heartwarming tasting experience. The range of wines offered at Boundary Breaks will challenge any preconceived notions you might have about your taste preferences. I was blown away by their unoaked chardonnay. I am someone who has vehemently opposed chardonnay, only to find that theirs was not only delicious, but is actually probably my favorite! Atop amazing service, was a calm and crisp atmosphere. The tasting room is spacious and clean, with large windows that showcase a view only to be found in the finger lakes. Watching the sunset over the lakes was the icing on the cake. We will be back! read more

We had eight in our group and they wouldn't let us sit together because it didn't fit in their business model. They purposely seated us far away from each other, two groups of four, and said if we spoke to each other we'd be asked to leave. Really?! It was bull shit. Great view. Wine was okay. Don't tell me at 58 years old that I can sit and enjoy a glass of wine with my friends. I'd never come back or recommend this location. Ever. read more

Sunset Saturdays is the greatest thing I've experienced in quite some time. The past year has brought many challenges, especially as a city dweller. It was an invigorating day getaway. Reserving a table is recommended. The $20 dinner ticket is optional, but also recommended. Their meal options are farm to table infused with Boundary Breaks wine. My bestfriend is a member, so we got a pretty good discount on the bottle we shared. it was the perfect evening with the most perfect sunset! read more

Nicest owners and best wine tasting experience. We loved the gentleman who conducted our wine tasting. After visiting many other wineries last week where we felt rushed, we appreciated the detailed explanation and education provided by the employee who poured our wines. The owners of this winery are lovely people. We had arrived shortly before closing, and they graciously allowed us to linger outdoors, after closing, on their outdoor chairs where we took in the beautiful lake view. We tasted five wines but I did not find one that wowed us enough to buy a bottle. I think it's because I favor very sweet wines and they seem to specialize mostly in dry wines. I found their sweetest wine, the Riesling Ice Wine, a bit too fruity read more

Boundary Breaks - Boundary's Medium-Dry Riesling. Perfection in a Bottle - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Lodi, New York

Best known for their Riesling, we were so excited to try this place out and it did not disappoint! The views are stunning and there is so much room for proper social distancing. We went on a Sunday, when it first opened, and there was only 3 other small groups there (which we hear it's usually packed) so it made for a quiet and relaxing afternoon. We enjoyed the 5 tastings and loved each wine. And enjoyed some snacks with another glass of wine while overlooking the scenery. All of the staff were nice and professional, even offered to take our photo which was nice. Driving in, you see acres of vineyards, and there are several more acres of vineyards separating you from the lake. We only went to a few other wineries, but this one had the most relaxing and picturesque scenery. We really enjoyed our time and definitely will be back! read more

Off the beaten path! (A definite plus in my eyes.) Relaxing. Beautiful. Knowledgeable staff. Amazing local cheeses served. (Bonus points for keeping it local!) Even more bonus points for having a fenced in dog run! Bubbly Gewürztraminer?!? Hell yes! Riesling goes without saying, but I very much so enjoyed the different varieties. My husband (not a wine drinker) saw how much I enjoyed the wines, scenery and staff that he strongly suggested becoming a club member. Awaiting my first shipment as I type this! Looking forward to making this a girls weekend when the spring shipment is due! read more

This is one of my new favorite wineries in the Finger Lakes! My husband and I stopped by on a Fri afternoon and split 2 tastings (for a total of 10 wines) at the outdoor bar, which had a beautiful view of the lake. We tasted all 3 sparklings, all of the whites, and the cab franc. The Gewurztraminer was our favorite and we bought a bottle to take home. What really made our experience was the service. The winemaker greeted us and Joanne poured our wine. We really enjoyed talking to her and swapping travel stories and her recommendations for where to go in the area. We will definitely return on future trips. They also do events with live music. I can't think of a better evening than sitting on an Adirondack chair here with a glass of sparkling Riesling looking at the lake. read more

Superb choice of wines!! A flight of wine (choice of 5 wines) is $10 as of 28th August 2022. The view is absolutely amazing and seating is very comfy too. Due to summer, it was mostly outdoor seating. The view of the lake and vineyards is really pretty! The servers are excellent and knowledgeable. They guide you through each wine explaining their tastes, aromas and characteristics. Decent food options like cured meats, cheeses, crackers and baguettes. I would recommend their Riesling very highly. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed my wine tasting at Boundary Breaks. This is a gorgeous vineyard and winery off the beaten path. The seating is very comfortable and we were lucky to get there early enough for a lake facing table. We ordered the tasting flight and selected our own wines. The wine was delicious. I also appreciated that they had cheese and crackers for purchase. A lot of wineries are not doing food right now, so this was a nice touch. Service was awesome and I am so happy that we visited. The unbaked chardonnay was my personal favorite. There is a nice variety of whites and reds. read more

Boundary Breaks Vineyard - Highly Recommend! Visited the area for the first time and stumbled across this Vineyard accidentally! So glad I did. This was the only one I went back to to pickup a bottle of wine from! Almost every wine I tasted was good to great and they had a terrific Red which is hard to find in this region. The Vineyard is set on a hill over looking Seneca Lake and the view is spectacular on top of the delicious wines! You can't loose! It was very poor weather when I visited but this place still put a smile on my face. I can only imagine what it's like on a beautiful clear day! Don't miss this one if you are in the area!!! read more
