Visiting from Florida and found Deer Run on our maps, decided to give it a try. We were greeted with such friendly faces and hospitality. We sat on the front porch with the beautiful flowers and had a couple flights and snacks. The food and wine were both amazing, left with a few bottles. Highly recommend! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. The staff here were excellent. They were incredibly kind and accommodating, and I feel terrible for how awfully short staffed they were for a saturday afternoon. It took more than 2 hours for our food to arrive, and the quality was not up to par, because there was only 1 person in the back doing everything, and it was a college student serving more than 30 people in the cafe. The worst feeling as a customer who worked in the food industry is having all of these problems but still not saying anything to the staff because there is nothing else they can do. The staff here needed help and it showed. Don't come here for food. Drinks were great. For reference, this is my first and only review ive ever made. read more

This winery of course, was well reviewed on YELP, so my friend and I decided to check it out and was well worth it. The staff was gracious, warm, welcoming and the ambience of the winery was adorable. During the visit, we each selected 6 tastings. The ambiance outside was picture perfect, with seating area located in vineyard, for that ideal wedding, engagement or special event. Check the place out, worth the drive, for a friend's day out, wine lovers or just to escape life. read more

Amazing!! Wine was delish, but the food was incredible!!! The Cheesy New Yorker was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. While the soup special of the day was superb! I took home a bottle of their Conesus White and can't wait to pop it open at home! Service was excellent as well! read more

On a random Friday off, my husband and I decided to go to Deer Run for a lunch date. Highly recommend it. The wine was good, especially the Chardonnay as it was unoaked. I'm personally not a fan of oaked Chardonnay. The tomatoe bisque was so good as well as the the grilled cheese special. Wish it was not closer as the menu was great as well as the beverage options. read more

This is one of my favorite wineries. I stopped here on a Sunday with my parents to grab some of their delicious dry rose and do a tasting, etc. I used to be part of the wine club, and inquired about joining again, but the woman who first helped us out was not really helpful. She told me I should email the owner to rejoin and provided no otjer information. The second woman who started pouring the tastings and talking to us was a delight, and I probably should have asked her. She was young, had long brunette hair and recommended some restaurants in the area and also had a great personality. I went with a glass of dry rose, my stepdad had a couple glasses that he enjoyed and my mom liked her tasting and glass of wine. It was a great, friendly experience. We walked out of there with another case of wine. They have a great outdoor space as well, and a pavilion for weddings and events. It is a beautiful location. read more

We had our appointment booked way ahead . We were welcomed with a smile. Friendly staff. Good wine flight selection. Total of 6 wine taste for the price of $8. There were flavors that win our taste buds. The pebble beach blush was the ladies pick. The Conesus red is the gents choice. We ordered their small plates, the cheese and the charcuterie , we enjoyed it as well. Everything is nice except we were disappointed that we were assigned inside, we preferred to be outside especially with current Covid issue. Not sure if the reason was because we were in group and no table outside could fit us in. read more

Amazing place and great wines. If you ever go ask for KIM to be your server. Kim is the best!

My husband and I just did a wine tasting and it was wonderful. The guy (Michael, I think) was great and the wine was yummy. We then tasted a few of the bourbons and they were also delicious. We picked up an extra Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Bourbon Cream for my mom. read more

Have had brunch a few times at Deer Run and has been delicious and the service amazing! Highly recommend!

Never a disappointment! We come often for fabulous wine and amazing food! They have a great "Bistro" menu, with fun, shareable appetizers (the Brie is incredible), and also flatbreads, burgers, wraps, and big salads. Make sure you try their house-made Maple Dijon Vinaigrette! It is my favorite! And don't forget to try the wine shlushies! You really can't go wrong here. Deer Run is a true "hidden gem" in the western Finger Lake region. Not far from Rochester or Buffalo. Check it out! read more

I have been here twice now. The first time I came in for a tasting with a friend and the staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. The wine was all great and we both ended up taking some home! We also got some great recommendations for lunch options in the area. I went back for a second time Memorial Day weekend and they had a window open to pick up wine slushies. The slushies were so good - not overly sweet, and very reasonably priced. My friend and I have already decided we will becoming back a third time! read more

I had a groupon for Wine, Cheese and Chocolate Tasting so we went this weekend. The weather was crappy but Deer Run Winery atmosphere was warm and friendly! We had the upstairs loft all to ourselves. Jeremy was awesome and attentive! He was funny and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. For the tasting they bring you a board of cheese and chocolate, then pair the wines with the chocolates. There were 6 wines to try going from dry white to semi sweet red. They told you which cheese or chocolate to pair with the wine. Very good! Max Black may be my new favorite wine! I would definitely recommend! read more

Took my mother for a birthday weekend lunch to Deer Run Winery and dined in the cafe. Their food is all homemade and spectacular. We enjoyed grilled sandwiches, homemade soups, pebble beach wine and a fun surprise birthday dessert with brownies, ice cream and a Max Black wine drizzled reduction berry sauce. Our server Samantha was amazing and attentive. Such a gem for the lucky Conesus Lake/Geneseo/Lakeville area!! read more

We've gone here several times for Thursday concerts. The winery produces some good wines leaning longer on the sweet side. We've have found the dry Riesling as our go to. The winery is cute and offers local snacks and crafts. They have established themselves as the go to place for quint concerts throughout the summer on Thursdays. Along with the music are different food trucks on those Thursdays. They have a large tent for less desirable weather. A few picnic tables are around. Not nearly enough for the crowd. Most folks bring their own chairs and many bring a small folding table. You can purchase a bottle, that they will open and supply small plastic glasses. Taking the bottle and food to our chairs, we sit back and listen to the concert. A great way to spend a Thursday night! read more

Absolutely. Positively. Fantastic. Man, what a great decision to go here by the friends we were visiting. We really enjoyed it, especially my wife. On top of the wine that they obviously are known for, they had some really awesome beer and whiskey to choose from. We had a great time chilling while our wives drank wine. I would go again and again. The gentleman working today was truly fantastic to talk to and we had a great time shooting the shi&$. What a great place to try and really would recommend it for everyone. Must go! read more

This place was absolutely incredible. Not only was the wine delicious, I truly believe that the service sets this place apart. Marie was not only kind, but she was so knowledgeable about the wine and the area as a whole. She guided us through the wine tasting while sharing plenty of tips to get the most out of my trip to the Rochester area. She gave us so many good ideas that we completely changed our itinerary for the better. We wouldn't have had half the day that we had without her guidance. Additionally, she was never pushy or forced us to buy anything. The wine itself was a delicious. We bought two bottles, and I am excited to enjoy them back at home. read more

Friendly atmosphere and good wines! To top it off dog friendly as well. The wine tasting that we had was great and afterward we sat outside having some wine slushees and taking in the nice weather. If we're ever in the area again would come for a second visit. read more

My husband and I were in the area for our minimoon after our wedding. We knew it was a Monday but we were still determined to do some wine tasting. We had both heard of Deer Run so we wanted to see their tasting room. There were two women working, one just hired and one seasoned. They talked to us as we tried the wines. Both were great conversation. We each had a favorite wine and grabbed a bottle to go! read more

First winery of 2018...since we bought the travel wine card we chose this place along with another winery nearby. The other place was closed so this was it for the day. But what I loved is that they not only had wine but also bourbon to taste...just what my hubby likes. Wine tastings are free, 6 can be chosen. There is a charge for the dessert wine and $5 chg for bourbon tastings. Really nice options for everyone. All the wines we tried were very good. There was not one we didn't like. But we bought the Vignoles and Pebble Beach. Great tastes. My husband tried 3 bourbon, maple, smoked and creamy. His favorite was the smoked. I liked the creamy bourbon it's like Kahlua. The people pouring our drinks were very friendly and personable but also showed an interest in everyone who came. That makes the visit much more enjoyable. They did mention that they have concerts in the summer. So this may be another opportunity to come back. And enjoy the outdoors with more wine! read more

We happened upon this winery as we were exploring the most western Finger Lakes and I'm so glad we did!! We enjoyed 2 flights with their flatbread (Apple Brie and the Black and Blue) and it was all so delicious! Food is locally sourced which always is nice to see. We enjoy wines on the drier side and they had a great selection of them...Ended up buying 4 bottles and they gave us a great souvenir wine carrier to go with! The vineyard is beautiful...so worth the stop if you're in the area. read more

Deer Run Winery - Wineries Near Me - Geneseo, New York

Deer Run is a winery that's mostly unknown to the masses, and that is unfortunate. Having went to college just down the road, I wasn't aware myself of Deer Run's existence until a few years after graduating. They are located in "Geneseo," on the west bank of Conesus lake, it's the furtherest West of the finger lakes wineries and a short drive from Rochester. First off, they have free tasting(yes)! The two times I've been there, they were pretty relaxed when it's come to quantity as well. The tasting sheet said 6-7 tastings. Excellent. They have a good range of wine not only between white to red but also dry to sweet. I'm sure you'll be able to find something here that you'll enjoy. Their Runway Red and Water Tower White are table wines that will be suitable for most palates. Being still a relatively young winery, having opened only in 2003, Deer Run will only get better with time. They have also had a lot of events recently at their wineries like concerts, an up coming cigar event and when we were there they were set up for a wedding. Enjoy some great wine and head down to the lake. read more

If you haven't been to this winery you're really missing out! Becki was our host with the most. The wines are incredibly tasty with a delightful variety. You can play corn hole out front, sit in the rocking chairs, all the while enjoying a delicious glass of wine. This is a must on your trip to conesus lake. read more
