I love that they have flights and guided tastings. There are four different flight options. I had the Riesling flight which did have some standouts. Guided tasting allow you to jump around in what you want. Both options are $10 which is a fantastic price point for flights. There's a back patio with a vineyard view and a front patio with a lake view. They also host several events and tastings as well. A must stop on your wine tasting trip! read more

We made a special trip to check out this winery based on a recommendation from a local. The winery was beautiful with the vineyard very close by. We were greeted as soon as we arrived and were walked through the options. We decided to go with two different flight options and share. That way we got to try 10 different wines. We sat outside and enjoyed the view while we did our tastings. read more

Really nice team working here. Explained the wine well, gave us a few a extra tastes, and provided us with some dinner recommendations. The tasting room is beautiful, they have a nice cafe and I imagine sitting outside in the summer with their dry rose is absolutely wonderful. We were here on a 4 degree March day, so there was no patio and I went for all reds. I enjoyed the Lemberger and my husband really enjoyed their port. read more

This winery had a ton of options in terms of seating. They had a quaint tasting room, cafe seating, and two different outdoor patios. The cafe stole the show here with tons of choices that were executed very well! My husband and I loved our charcuterie board and pizza. The service was quick which was good since they were fairly busy. The only downside was the quality of the wine. Compared to other wineries in the area, we didn't think the wine was as good. Don't get me wrong...we still drank it . I'd say plan to have lunch here and perhaps just share a glass of wine or tasting if you're planning to drink. read more

This is the first vineyard/winery we visited in the Finger Lakes. The staff at Fox Run Vineyards are really friendly, but, the wines didn't quite impress us (but it was hard since we're coming from California and France, so it wasn't too surprising). The $10 tasting includes five wines, plus oyster crackers. You start with the Kaiser Vineyard Chardonnay and then choose from a flight of dry, sweet, or Riesling wines. They let us swap, so I went with the Riesling flight, switching out the sweeter Lake Dana Riesling (with a 4% RS) for the Silvan Riesling. For the last wine, you can choose from a list of 10 options, and by the end of the tasting, we ended up trying more than five. Their Piquette tasted similar to kombucha--bubbly, fruity, and a bit strong. My favorites were the Dry Riesling and Semi-Dry Riesling (I'm not a fan of super dry), and the Unoaked Lemberger was solid. It was also nice that they offered in-house grape juice for kids. I imagine it to be very busy in the summer when the weather is nicer. There's a large outdoor patio area and inside there are 2 main bar areas for tastings read more

I love this winery! Every year when I'm in the area, I make it a point to visit. The food is always delicious, and the wine never disappoints; it's super tasty. I would give it a solid 5 out of 5 stars! The service is top-notch, and the staff is always very friendly. By the way, the blueberry sauce is on the special menu! read more

Stop #4 of our Sunday wine tour. Starting to feel tired and mangled after tasting the first three, we stopped here, located on the main road heading into Geneva from the south. Large parking lot and commercial style with a built-in cafe and gift shop, as well as outdoor and indoor areas for tastings. We sat at the bar and were helped by a guy - glasses and bald - sorry I'm terrible with waiter names. Anyway - all positive - he was great and allowed us to kind of work our way thru and express what we liked and go from there. We left with a couple bottles. read more

Love this winery . Always a must when going to seneca lake wineries . We did a tasting this time around , as the weather was raining and we normally get a bottle and sit in the back . Dee was amazing , we learned so much from her and made our experience amazing. It's always a great time there . read more

This Winery was first on our stop list of the day. It was beautiful inside and out. Even though we missed the winery tours, we were still able to walk the ground a little and noticed all the beautiful winding flower. Inside the area was split between a bar, shopping area, and Cafe area. My husband and I enjoyed a charcuterie board that was the perfect size for Just the two of us while we sipped through our wine samples samples. The staff was friendly and informative in all areas that we visited. You purchased a couple wines to take home with us. read more

Our favorite winery in Seneca during our 3 day visit! This was actually our first stop and we felt so welcome and tasted some great wines! We even took a bottle home! Our server was so personable and even let us try a few extra during our tasting since we were celebrating my husbands birthday. read more

We stopped by here as our second stop on a wine tour. I can say I wasn't a fan of the wines, but was a big fan of their charcuterie boards. When you walk into the building, it smells like garlic which I'm a big fan of. We ate most of the charcuterie boards and tried the wines. The venue itself is very pretty but I wasn't a fan of their wines. Also, when we walked in to pick our wines for the tasting, the attendant wasn't very informative, and it was kind of like we had to figure it out on our own. The other two wineries we went to on our tour, they were very attentive so this one seemed lacking in comparison. read more

Obviously the most important thing should be the wine which was very good-we had two self guided flights which was better than a tasting because we could leisurely sip without feeling rushed to try the next option. There is also light food for purchase. What really turned me off though was the service-the woman who greeted us was not friendly at all-seemed annoyed that we didn't immediately know what we wanted. It's a very pretty area, but with so many other wineries nearby, customer service is so important and we truly felt like we were bothering her from the moment we walked in. It's the only place on our trip that we did not bother buying any bottles to bring home. read more

I went to the Finger Lakes for a little getaway and stopped at Fox Run. It was the best decision I made! Their wine and the atmosphere were absolutely fantastic! You can either seat on their front patio or the back. I went outside to their barn to order my flight and they also had some food there as well. I had their dry flight and each wine was incredible. Their dry Riesling and Unoaked Chardonnay were absolutely amazing! I had to leave with both those bottles. My only complaint is that I wish they had more food options at their cafe, but other than that it was great. Not only can you buy wine but they have other things in their shop. The one thing I loved about them is that their wine is very reasonably priced. If you get lucky sometimes they will have live music. If you are looking for a fun winery to go to in the Finger Lakes then Fox Run should be on your list. It is a must see! read more

We enjoyed a self-guided tasting. Great place to meet friends. The tastings were pre-selected: dry, red, riesling or sweet. The food was good, it was prepared in a timely manner. After ordering at the bar, we were given a buzzer. Once the buzzer went off, we went up to the bar to grab our food. We cleaned our table afterwards. The atmosphere was great. read more

Had the Co-Ferment tonight with Chicken Tacos. I admit, I was very dubious about the combination of Cabernet Sauvignon and Riesling. I was surprised it worked. The taste was more Cabernet Sauvignon than Riesling (75% - 25%). May not be my absolute favorite, but it is better than expected. Was a good match for spicy and seasoned tacos. Dry but yet a full fruity taste. read more

This is my favorite winery in Seneca Lake! The views are stunning! They have a beautiful back patio overlooking the lake and the views cannot be beat. Also they have a beautiful patio area in which you sit under grape vines and it truly feels like you're in Italy! Love the vibes here. For food and drinks they have an extensive menu and many, many options! I would recommend the boards because they have a lot of variety! You can't go wrong with any of the wines, depending on your preference. I'm looking forward to coming back here! read more

I think my biggest problem is that I had much higher expectations and they weren't delivered. Beautiful grounds, decent scenery, great service average wines. This is coming from a more experienced pallet that has tasted in more regions of the world than most. Mind you the reasoning was outstanding that everything else was just so so. read more

The wines here are delicious and the $10 tasting is a phenomenal deal. (As context, our group of four unanimously preferred Fox Run over other perhaps more acclaimed vineyards). Plus, wine always tastes sweeter (if you're into that) when accompanied with a gorgeous, sunny lake view. The food was also good. We appreciated the substantial offerings on the menu in a full day of tastings. Also, Mickie was a great sommelier. She gave engaging and informative background on our wine selections and expertly navigated us through the menu. read more

This was our first stop on the Seneca Lake wine and chocolate tour. The staff was very welcoming, and we really enjoyed the barn. Hot cocoa for the DD's and yummy Pulled Bison, Savory "Swiss roll" with Roasted Garlic & Chocolate Glaze. Well done! read more

The worst service at a wine tasting ever. The girl yawned three times, "sorry are we boring you". The wines were mediocre. The pours are small and the server was completely disinterested. All done at a counter that was very dated. The whole thing needs some help. In and out in under 20 minutes. Maybe 15. Very weird. read more

This was one of our favorite wineries that we did a tasting at. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. They did not rush us at all. We sat at the tasting bar. We ended up buying a bottle of Riesling. It turned out to be my favorite Riesling that we tasted over 3 days in the Finger Lakes at at least 8 different wineries. read more

We were in central NY for a short vacation and took a drive through Seneca to check out the vineyards and scenery, when hunger set in. We found this amazing place! We got the cheese tray, the cured meat and cheese tray and crusty bread. It was the perfect stop. The cafe has outdoor seating and indoor seating with a beautiful view. Attached on the other side is a shop for wine, oils vinegar and other "tourist" items. The staff was friendly and helpful. A great pit stop if you're in the area Cheers! read more

This is a pretty place I could see an event going on.. I'm not sure if they offer that but I would ask. The outdoor site is pretty, lots of outdoor seating in the back area and a lovely patio and view of Seneca Lake in the front. The inside is large and light and bright. You are greeted when you arrive and you can ask about tastings. They sell all the wines they make onsite. They do have a vintage sparkling that looked interesting I'd want to try it before spending $85 and they also have a White Pinot Noir. It alas you can't try that either.. whatever. What I think is this places strength is the Cab Franc and the 2020 Chardonnay. Now if you want sweeter wines they got you, they make a tramanette (like a Sauterne) and Ruby Port and yes Sparkling and other things. Go with a flight of wines if you are not sure what you want. You can buy some wine, food stuffs, food to eat on site and etc. The people who guide you thru the tasting are knowledgeable and oddly enough most are teachers working here for a second job. You can roll in and do a tasting, it's a nice spot but I can pick up these wines up in the Rochester area. It's worth a quick visit, wines are pretty good. Lots of on-site parking read more

Great way to start the day. Tasting for $10 included 5 variations with full explanation on each by the server. We learned a lot. Then chose our favorite to have a glass and bought some bottles to go. Stayed awhile enjoying the wonderful outdoor area. It is dog friendly. They brought treats to our pup and they had water bowls for them around the outdoor sitting area. Lots of shade and umbrellas and beautiful flowering planters when we went. Very picturesque. Deserves a return visit! read more

Enjoyed a relaxing afternoon of live music, great food & a flight of wines. Would have preferred to choose which wines to taste because there were wines I knew I wouldn't like in every pre-selected flight, and I wasn't wrong. Still ended up finding one I liked & bought a bottle for a souvenir. read more

Really just an absolutely wonderful experience. Everyone was super helpful even if you don't know much about wine. We sat on the front porch outside to drink our flight. The flight tasted OK but the price and ambience and service was so nice that I really would give this place five stars. We moved to the back because we wanted to see more of the grounds. From the back, you could see different vines that have a nice look. As an added note, we had our baby there. We went here because we were looking for a place with an outdoor area where we wouldn't bother anybody. It worked extremely well for our situation and I would say it would work well for other families with young babies. Everyone was super nice about it. We ended up getting a bottle of arctic fox after sampling a couple things that was my favorite. Prices are good and wine is pretty good. read more

We enjoyed a drizzly Sunday afternoon driving along the Lake Seneca shoreline and taking in the Fall leaves. Fox Run was on our list of dog friendly wineries so we stopped in for a tasting of five of their dry wines. All five were excellent! We truly loved them all, which just never happens. Our dog was quite happy on their patio in the back and there is plenty of tables to spread out. We also tried the pretzels with the most delicious cheese sauce made with (shocking, I know) WINE! We mopped up every last drip of cheese. The prices are super reasonable too at $10 for five 1oz. pours for the tasting. This winery is very well run and service was excellent. Highly recommend. read more

Lovely vineyard and wonderful view and tastings. Perfect place to stop while driving through Watkins Glen to Syracuse.

Beautiful location overlooking Seneca Lake. Beautiful tasting room and areas to sit inside and out. They allow pets !! Picnic tables and what looked like gas fire pits. A cafe to get food (dogs not allowed) Enjoyed sitting outside this beautiful fall day with a bottle of dry Riesling was perfect !! People were very nice and would definitely return again. The wine was very dry but nicely done. Would like access to front deck with pet !! read more

As good as the wine was, I don't think we'd go again. The pizza you see was $14... it was the size of my hand. The chips & dip were really good. The service was weird. We walked in and went to the bar and were told to "check in" to be told options. The woman working was of no help, basically told us to go to the Cafe to get what we wanted... unsure why we had to check in. Overall, not bad but would not go back. read more

This place is gorgeous outside and very nice inside. Tried two of the flights and enjoyed most of the wines included.

As soon as you pull up and see the cool looking metal gate at the entrance you can feel that this place is different from other area wineries. I absolutely loved the outside vine covered patio wrap around entrance, perfect place for some great photos of you and your group! Once inside you are greeted and are taken over to a tasting spot ( we lucked out with no wait) The tasting table is a long L shaped table. The wines we tried were all very nice, my favorite was the Riesling... a tasting flight was $5. Lot's of things to buy through the gift shop area. I bought some local cheese, very tasty! read more

Fox run is one of the premier wineries in the Finger lakes region. They are very progressive and have a large variety of very nicely done wines for all ranges of taste. They boast one of the best winemakers and one of the best chefs in the region. Quite often when you visit you will catch one of the owners Scott or his wife Ruth around the tasting room. They have a wonderful wine club you also can join which brings many benefits to its members. This by far is our favorite winery of the Finger lakes. Stop in and try it for yourself I'm sure you will not be disappointed. Ken and Kitty Bowers read more

I have visited Fox Run once or twice prior to my visit this past weekend, and it is really a special place! Friendly staff, a wonderful cafe, gorgeous views, classic FLX wine selection, and a perfect location on Seneca lake. We so enjoyed our time on their back patio area with our dog, we're looking forward to when we can attend again. During the Coronavirus, they currently have an outdoor bar available. We walked up to the front to check in with the hostess who asked us our plan - I thought this was a super effective way to communicate and provide necessary info to customers, so big thanks for that. I let the hostess know we planned to order some lunch and enjoy a flight, and she set me off in the right direction. We opted to order food from the cafe and our wines from the outdoor bar. Seamless process! Our cheese board was DELIGHTFUL! Goat, gouda, dips, salami, prosciutto, seeds, nuts and delicious Amazing Grains baguette. We also opted for the pub pretzels with chardonnay cheese and a side salad. We drove 60 minutes for this cheese board and I don't regret it one bit. All of these options are great and the board, priced at $16, is a must order if you're in the mood for some grub. I've tried most of their wines in the past and my fave for summer time is the Dry Rose! Their entire selection of reds have never really spoken to me, but their riesling is one of the best. Any trip to Seneca Lake is not complete without some time spent at Fox Run! read more
