It's only 13 minutes north from Watkins Glen, which made the drive back towards the gorge much more enjoyable. We started our wine tasting at Tabora. It was so enjoyable that I bought a bottle on the way out. Would do this again and would recommend for an affordable, picnic style, and an easy wine tasting.

It was pitiful, and we couldn't help laughing when it arrived. We thought we were being pranked! The wine was just ok- nothing to write home about.

Thankfully, there is more than one tasting area & a good-sized staff to accommodate everyone. Our "sommelier" Jessica was friendly, knowledgeable & made it possible for us sisters to share one flight since we couldn't agree on what to choose for 3 separate flights. Although we did not find one particular wine that we loved, Jessica blended two sparkling wines together & we ended up taking that out to the lawn (you cannot go outside just to sit there unless you have a glass of wine). The views of the vines, the lawn, flowers & Seneca Lake are beautiful & the only thing to mar that are the hanging, swaying inflatables & the frequent booms of the on-site air cannons used to scare away the birds. A little jarring. There is a good variety of prettily-labeled Leidenfrost wines, plus snacks, jams & merch for sale & enjoyment. Staff is welcoming, polished & helpful.

They have a good selection of orange wines and these seem to be growing in popularity. The tasting room is large and looks like a restaurant and there is even a host to greet you at the door.
