Not the most impressive wine nor food but absolutely awesome staff and view. Bridget (hope thats her name?) was incredibly friendly and great the entire night, everyone on the staff was awesome.

A husband and wife own this place and they couldn't have been more friendly and hospitable. They had. A nice selection of dry and some sweet wines so there was something for every taste.

We made it to the other side of the lake! Our adventure today took us to Izzo's White Barn Winery,…read morea small but welcoming spot tucked into the beautiful Finger Lakes wine region. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with a cozy, down-to-earth atmosphere that made us feel right at home. We started our tasting with their unoaked Riesling, a bright and lively wine crafted from grapes grown along the shores of Seneca Lake. It had an enticing aroma and a clean, crisp finish that really highlighted the natural fruit flavors. Next up was the LaCrescent, a white varietal that was refreshingly dry with a subtle citrusy edge and just the right amount of acidity--perfect for sipping on a cool afternoon. After that, we moved on to the Cayuga White, a semi-sweet offering that had a beautifully smooth mouthfeel and a well-balanced sweetness, making it an easy favorite for those who enjoy wines with a hint of fruit-forward character. Finally, we wrapped up our tasting with the Maréchal Foch, a deep, dry red with rich notes of black cherry and a velvety smooth finish. This one stood out as a great example of how lesser-known hybrid grapes can still deliver bold and elegant flavors. During our visit, we had the pleasure of chatting with the owner (at least, we believe it was the owner!), who shared some insight into the winery's operations. He explained that they grow three to four different grape varietals in their own vineyards, while supplementing with additional grapes sourced from other vineyards throughout the Finger Lakes region. It was clear that there's a strong sense of community among winemakers in the area--he described it as a "big happy family" that collaborates to support each other through every step of the winemaking process. One of the most interesting tidbits we learned was about the live musician performing that day--not only does he provide entertainment for visitors, but he also plays a huge role in the winemaking process, handling 80-90% of the work at the winery! It was incredible to see such a hands-on approach, where passion for both music and winemaking came together in such a unique way. As for the owner himself, he had an infectious sense of humor--quick-witted, engaging, and full of personality, he made our experience even more memorable. The winery is relatively small and appears to have limited hours, especially in the winter when it's only open on Saturdays. If I remember correctly, they may extend to two days a week during the busier months, but it's definitely one of those hidden gems that's worth navigating to if you're in the area. All in all, Izzo's White Barn Winery turned out to be a fantastic stop, offering a delightful mix of great wine, warm hospitality, and local charm. It's the kind of place where you don't just taste wine--you get to experience the heart and soul behind it.

**The following review is my personal opinion and based on my individual experiences**…read more It's disappointing to see a once-beloved local brand begin to resemble the kind of corporate operation it once seemed proud to distinguish itself from. Since January 2025, it feels to me like there's been a noticeable shift in Beak & Skiff's priorities. Pride-related messaging and products that were previously visible around June have disappeared. The Pride flag was temporarily removed during the Warren Zeiders concert last summer, only to be put back up the following day. Is that an insult to Warren Zeiders fans by assuming they're all bigots who would be offended by a rainbow flag? Whatever the reason for taking it down, the inconsistency raises fair questions for me about whether certain expressions of inclusion are actual values of Beak & Skiff's or simply marketing strategies when culturally "cool". It feels to me like recent changes reflect a greater emphasis on their bottom line being the priority now. A local organization rep I know told me that her recent request for a cancer tournie fundraiser basket was declined. And the updated property and programming, to me, seems geared toward ticketed events (nice to see they added women musicians to their live music schedule, though!). It feels like activities that once helped make the orchard accessible to a broad range of families at varying income levels now come at a higher cost. And the "patriotic" NYS fair drink was an interesting choice given the current political climate, in my opinion. From my perspective, Beak & Skiff now seems to be catering to a narrower demographic than it once did. The emphasis on community, accessibility, diversity, and inclusion feels considerably less visible than it used to. For a company that has historically presented itself as family-run and community-minded, that change is unfortunate and worth acknowledging...in my opinion, that is.

We look forward going a couple times each summer. In the beginning it was a great experience. It was clean, food was very good with a fair price. the past 4 visits over the last 2 years we can see how the quality has diminished. Last year I went and around the bar the trash bins were overflowing causing trash on the floor blowing everywhere. The staff knew this and din nothing. At the same time wine started to be served in plastic cups and at a higher price. This year I took my sister and her Bf from AZ there and it was a joke. The wait for food was a long long time and when it came it was not up to the same quality as in the past. I was sorry I wasted my sisters night here. We gave it another try last week. Still plastic cups with and even higher price. The pizza I ordered was the Americano but they were out of meatballs. The pizza itself was a joke. Burnt crust with so many airholes it look like caves built into the pizza for stuffing. A total waste. We are done with Colloca for this season and I doubt I will be waiting all winter to go there next spring. Whoever they hired to manage that area and the chef of the kitchen should be fired NOW.

The bottle I brought had me out of breath and Googling "do Asian dads like super dry wine" mid-sip. It was a bold red, super dry and refined, but honestly not my favorite. The guy behind the bar mentioned one of their wines tends to appeal to a younger audience, and yeah... maybe that was the one I should have picked. That said, their whites and more refreshing options were actually quite nice - definitely more aligned with what the Finger Lakes does well. Pro tip: Stick to the whites, sample before committing, and come for the chill vibes (and maybe a soft reset for your palate).
