The portions are tiny, unless you get a kids' meals. We went here recently with extended family and were really looking forward to it. We were quite shocked to see that many of our plates were tapas sized, but the price of a regular lunch. The jack fruit tacos were the same size as the kids portion, but the kids portion included two sides and a drink for less money. Our meal was overpriced and underwhelming. Sorry to say that, despite the amazing view, we won't be coming back. read more

Great place for wine tasting! Everyone was nice and friendly. Beautiful views while there. Laid out very conveniently to find which wines you may be interested in. Wines were excellent. I tried only the sweet wines and fruity wines. Would highly recommend. read more

I'm giving this place a one star, first the soup tasted like it was from a can, supposed to have fish in it, the meat in it was a mystery. My Turkey sandwich was dry, the bun was stale. Seemed to be microwaved to warm up. There was a wedding going on and the bridal party appeared frustrated by the service which I could understand because our waitress had a poor attitude. My husband and I will never go again read more

Glenora is one of the largest and oldest wineries on Seneca Lake. It has a beautiful view of the lake with a deck that has seating overlooking it. When you enter into Glenora, unlike other wineries, you pay for your tasting at the entrance and have your hand stamped. I felt that it was a bit awkward having to wait in 2 lines to get a tasting and then to buy merchandise as well but not a big deal. During the tasting Glenora gives you samples of unique and delicious cheeses. They have a cooler full of cheese to purchase if you taste something you'd like to take home. Their wine selection is huge and very good. I particularly liked their peach and raspberry Spumante and their Yellow Cab. I went on the off season and this place was packed! Beware of the lines, but it is a great stop! read more

They were rude, inconsiderate and unaccommodating. The customer service was below subpar. We had asked the initial bartender if we were able to split up our groups (we had 8 people, which to my experience, is a normal group tasting) in order to have the full menu and they denied us. Side note, it's January and the winery was EMPTY. We were really looking forward to their full menu and they were RUDE to us. Also, very patronizing to women. Will NEVER go back again. read more

Wonderful views and great wine. We we were disappointed there was no availability for dinner. Did not think to do reservations would definitely recommend you do that if considering eating there. read more

Came here over the weekend for a wine tour. We had a big party, and they brought us downstairs. We were able to try 6 different wines with cheese pairings. Some of the wine's were either too dry or too sweet but they were all paired perfectly with the cheese (which might have been my favorite part). The two that dished out the wine were very informative, but I thought we would have at least gotten a little tour or some background info on how the wine was made but this was just straight boozin!! They have the cheese and obviously the wine for the sale on their main level. Good for groups and a very well put together establishment. read more

We went here for wine tasting... they accommodated my our request for a tour of the vineyard, which was sweet! I hadn't booked a tour so they couldn't do a full blown one, but were courteous enough to do a short 15 mins one for us. When it comes to the wine tasting, this place gets pretty busy. The only bummer was they refused to accept international driving license as an ID proof, and since I was with people who were visiting US, they did not carry their passports with them for wine trail and couldn't taste. The fee of us who did taste, had a good experience. The chillaxing red was our favorite that we carried back home with us! read more

The wine was good, the food so so. Desert ridiculous. Tablespoon of icecream. Said it was dry and sh e brought another tablespoon. For $4. So $16 for small apple pie. Will not go back read more

This is the second half of my review - first one was of the restaurant, Veraisons, which goes along with the inn and winery at Glenora. The property is gorgeous. The view of the lake and the vineyards on the other side is amazing. the west side of the lake gets a bad rap for not being as rich in wineries as the east side, but don't use that as an excuse to skip Glenora. Their shop and tasting room is very big, with lots of room to taste and shop. We went there with the intention of buying the wines that we had along with our dinner the night before. I was going for the Syrah, and my better half was very interested in the Cabernet. Both were delicious and paired very well with our lamb and steak, respectively. The tasting was fun, and came with a complimentary taste of local cheeses and other snacks, which was a nice treat. The gewurztraminer was great with the wasabi cheese! So in addition to the two wines we were intending to pick up, we also snagged some gewurtztraminer, some riesling, of course, as well as a few other bottles. If you're going to the finger lakes, this is definitely a winery you want to put on your agenda! read more

Absolutely in love with Glenora. The premises is BEAUTIFUL, food is amazing, and they even serve cheese with your tastings! They have an inn which gets hard to book during the summer (because the area is STUNNING and everyone and their mother wants to stay here!) but during the spring and fall should be easier to book. I had my wedding here, and overall I love this place. Obviously it has a lot more meaning to me now, but the staff here are so attentive and the view is phenomenal. 5 stars (actually, in my heart, 7) for event coordination. JAMES IS THE BEST!! 5 stars for food at the inn (and wine/cheese pairings at the tasting room!) 5 stars for accommodations (beautiful rooms, all of which overlook the lake!) 4.5 stars for wine -- I think I've had better, but don't knock this off your list -- worth trying! read more

Went on a wine tasting and stopped here. Let me say this was a poor experience. The folks at the door were very Kurt and had little people skills. We were at a few other places that were much more organized. She said get behind those other people everyone like we knew the process? It was miserable I couldn't wate to get out of there. I think they're too big to care any longer I won't be back or buy their wine. read more

Went to 17 wineries in the past few days and this was by far the worst one. We were ignored for 10 minutes, mid tasting, for a group of drunk women. Wine was okay, but we will definitely not be back due to the awful service. Wouldn't have been as bad if we at least got an apology. Super unprofessional. Avoid. read more

So the wine tasting here was underwhelming. I give the experience 2 stars. I chose six whites from the semisweet section. The wines lacked complexity. The Reislings were one note- sweet. The bubbly wines tasted like wine coolers. The only standout wine was the Geuwertzameiner. Review of Veraisons restaurant: fantastic views of Seneca Lake and the vineyards make this a prime spot for landscapes. Lunch was average. I give them props for having gluten free bread. I initially ordered the burger but they then came back and told me they ran out of gf buns. So I ordered the cuban sandwhich which was tasty but dry. It came with home made fries but mine were tiny and didnt look like the healthy servings that I saw other diners get. The server was nice enough. We had a Reisling flight of 3 local wines for $11 which was a great additiin to lunch though pours were anemic. I would come back to this restaurant for dessert, wine and lake views-2.5 or 3 stars. read more

Busy, Busy, Busy! Glenora on a Saturday afternoon during the summer is packed, Luckily my groups of friends (5) were able to snag a spot at the tasting bar fairly quickly. They allow you to choose 6 options from their large and quite impressive wine selection. The wine was tasty and the yellow cab was the best in my opinion. I enjoyed that the tasting was paired with small bites of cheese. On to the bad... I felt very rushed. I did not finish my first tasting before the staff was coming back for with my second. You were definitely a number here, and there was zero attempt to establish rapport. I would give Glenora a second chance and try stopping back in during an off peak time. read more

Me and my wife have been going to the finger lakes yearly since we have got together and Glenora is always one of our stops. The staff is very welcoming and you are offered different pieces of cheese with your wine too while you taste. My wife loves the sweet red Concord grape wines ( Chase reserve being her favorite) and I like almost all wine. The sweet wines they offer are very good especially the bagged wines they have which are an amazing bang for your buck and their Syrah is great too. Last time we were there we decided to eat at their restaurant which was very good. We also signed up for their wine club for the year which I believe is something like 4 wines every 3 months or so and free shipping on all orders during that period. read more

Beautiful setting, really nice wine and what made it the best, was our sommelier Andrew who was helpful, friendly and knowledgable. Heard about the wine in several local restaurants and I am glad this was the vineyard we choose to visit. Loved the Dry Riesling and the Raspberry Rośe. Mixing them is even better. The grapes are perfect and the view of the lake only add to the experience. read more

Glenora Wine Cellars - The winery - Wineries Near Me - Dundee, New York

What a beautiful place! The staff was so friendly on our arrival. We opted to do a tasting which was $3 for 6! The staff were very knowledgable about all the wines we tasted and paired a small bite of cheese with them. The grounds outside are so pretty. There is a great view of the lake. Would be a great spot in the warmer months to stop and have lunch! read more

We did the staves and steel tour which was AMAZING! I highly recommend it. Company policy is to only allow 1 tasting which is $5 for 6 samples, kinda difficult... there are like 40 options to choose from; not a bad problem to have lol special shoutout to our tour guide Joe, he's the real MVP of Glenora read more

Glenora came highly recommended to us by friends and we are not really sure why, it was definitely a spot that we felt we could have skipped. The best thing about the tasting here was that each wine was paired with cheese and the cheese was the best part of the experience. We couldn't find one wine that we enjoyed, not one. The gentleman doing our tasting was nice but not the most enthusiastic about what wines he was pouring. We did this tour to learn about the wine making process for the various vineyards and to talk flavor profiles and we didn't much of that here. The place was very commercial like, selling items that you would find in Marshalls or Target, it took away the charm big time. The views were okay but we couldn't find access outside. Another reviewer said, "If you are a serious wine drinker, skip this one" and that sums up our thoughts exactly about this place. Definitely left something to be desired. Their wines were far too sweet for my palate. We were able to try an iced wine for an additional $1, which was a no brainer. Again, some people probably love ice wine, it's just not for me. Eh. read more

By far one of the best wineries we visited. Can't remember the name of the guy we had but he was so knowledgable. Loved the fact that we got a cheese pairing with our tasting. The warm mulled wine was delicious! Must stop if your in the area! read more

Glenora Wine Cellars - We had fun with the lawn decorations... - Wineries Near Me - Dundee, New York

I came in for a tasting last week and was blown away with the views of Seneca lake and all this winery has to offer. My wine server was amazing. Ron was fun and very knowledgeable, I came in thinking I knew what I liked in my wine to find out that I had no clue. He made suggestions and informed me on what different kinds had to offer, I was pleasantly surprised. I will be back with a group of friends, they have to try my new favorites. Thank you Ron for the fun atmosphere and knowledge you provided. Your the reason I'm being friends! I've never had so much fun. read more

The winery is average as they buy most of their grapes(not estate grown) and have a few weird flavored wines. The inn is what makes it a two star. I have been staying at the inn at glenora for years. The food is average at best and overpriced. The rooms are outdated but have a nice view of the lake. At a recent stay I ordered chocolate covered strawberries which were rotten. I informed the desk. The reply I got was "okay". They're as much better places to stay on the lake. read more

This is one of the finest wine tastings that I have participated in. We were treated to 6 tastings for a nominal fee. The variety of wines was incredible. The sparkling Blanc de blanc was incredible as well as the Port. There were many others that will be shipped back to my home. read more

This was my 2nd time here. The wine is fantastic but the employees are so rude. This was our 4th stop of the day and everyone was so pleasant until we arrived here. I hate giving bad reviews but the service was so rude that I just had to give a review. read more

The wine was pretty good, though the environment seemed a bit corporate. The lady who handled our tasting was incredible, though! Most of the staff handling the tastings seemed great, but Karen was incredibly personable and had plenty of recommendations for the area. Winery: 3/5. Karen 5/5, and she brings the entire place up to a 4. read more

This place was amazing! The views were great and the staff was so friendly! Tamika was amazing, so nice, funny, and knowledgeable. If you get a chance to get a tasting from her, do it! We came in very late near closing and she was still super accommodating! (trying to squeeze in all the wineries we could that day!) Thanks Tamika! read more

customer service was ok and if we asked questions we were answered . the wines were ok. our wine servant was running back and forth getting us the wines making us wait. the smell was bad. read more

I love their wine and have attended two weddings at this beautiful venue but I will never go there for a tasting and this is why. When I called to make a reservation for my wine tour I was treated with nothing but disrespect. I had told her the time and date we were looking for and the operator informed me the slot was available. I gave her my information for the down payment but upon telling the women of the age range of my group (22-27), I was treated as if I was a college student looking to go to a frat party. Repeatedly I was told this is not a place for people to get "wasted" and that they reserve the right to refuse service to our party if any of the guests on our bus seem even slightly intoxicated. The women taking the call then proceed to tell me that this is a formal establishment, not a party. After about 2 minutes of being lectured at, I mentioned that all members of my group were young professionals (Accountants, engineers, IT developers, and teachers) and she so rudely said "I don't know many 22 year old professionals." At that point I politely told her we would take our tastings elsewhere. I felt completely discriminated against because of my age. I have been on plenty of wine tours and I have seen groups in the 40-50 year old range that act much less mature than I do yet, because of my age, they assumed my group and I would be "wasted." If you are in you're a 20 something looking to do a wine tasting there I would suggest you reconsider.... read more

Upon entry they have a really cool tree made out of wine bottles that's the best thing about this winery! The service and experience are stinky ... The guy doing the tasting wasn't friendly nor did he explain anything about the wines. They had a wine we tried in a bag ... What the hell? If I wanted boxed wine from a zip loc bag I'd go to the nearest wal mart. Skip this one! read more

This place is fantastic! The wines are incredible! The food is delicious, the view is gorgeous and the staff is super friendly. I've been here for a wedding also and it was beautiful. read more

Very commercialized winery. Our server seemed to be new and didn't know much info about the wines. They did have cheese pairings with a couple wines we tried which was nice. None of the wines were that great. It does have a spectacular view and a pavilion area if you want to stop with a picnic. read more

Lovely views !! Mouth watering wines !! They have the best location for events around you see weddings there all summer and spring and it's just beautiful!! And you will see other big events too read more

With a major exception for the sweet guy who greeted us for Wine & Pasta weekend, this place was filled with drunks, rude employees and no space at the wine bar. Can't comment on anything but the taxi cab which was good, but there wasn't room for us to taste any others and were treated like second class citizens because we were there for the event when we first walked in the "wrong" (front) door. read more

Unable to accommodate dining on a Saturday due to lack of staff. Watched them turn multiple people away stating "we only have two servers".

I have been visiting this winery since I was about 15 yrs old. Even though I was not old enough to drink I loved coming here because of the breathtaking views. On our road trips to and from Canada my family would stop here and buy some bottles of wine. Now the funny thing is that I am old enough to drink wine and I don't. I am more of a margarita gal. Nonetheless, I still stop by this location to pick up a few bottles for the family and take in the view of the lake. As far as taste goes, everybody that I bring a bottle for loves it. And they have a good selection ranging from reasonable to pricey. read more

My husband and I made our second stop here on day 2 of our trip to the Finger Lakes. The view here is amazing and I was looking forward to enjoy it with a glass of their wine after our tasting. We were the only 2 people in the tasting room and approached the counter to do a tasting. We were informed it would be 6 wines of our choosing. We paid the tasting fee, which they abruptly collect, and chose our 6 wines. We drank our first 4 wines with absolutely no explanation from the woman doing our tasting. After we finished our 4th wine, she collected our glasses. Baffled I thought maybe she was getting us champagne flutes because my last tastings were sparkling??? Just couldn't quite figure it out. I than glanced at my husbands last 2 choices and saw he wasn't doing any sparkling. We stood there for a good 10 minutes exchanging glances amongst ourselves as the employee continued to mumble under her breath things like "ugh, they just keep coming in". 3 times I tried to say, "uh, we still have 2 more tastings", to which she just seemed to be in her own little world. I don't know if she was drunk or what, but something was very off with her. We decided to just walk out. As we passed the front desk area, I told the girl working there "I don't know if she's drunk or what, but we had 2 more tastings left and she just collected our glasses". The girl at the front was nice enough and offered to get us our last tastings but we just didn't want to hang around any longer. The wines we actually tasted were good, but the whole experience was tainted by this bazaar employee. read more

The staff was nice and they have an awesome gift shop. I bought a couple cute items from them. The wine was not my style, too sweet for me. But, if you prefer that, you might like it better than me. read more

The place is large and beautiful. Our group brought lunch and ate at the picnic tables outside. We waited in line to do the tasting. I ran to the bathroom but I was told that the guy who was taking the reservations was VERY rude and when my mother asked if she could go look at the cheese cooler while waiting he told her "you will wait right there". My mom is a super sweet older lady, wtf guy. I'm gonna just say management should look into this and move on from here because the rest of our trip was good. They were able to accommodate our group of 10 and the woman doing the tasting was really nice. The wine is good and my group liked being able to pick btwn dry and sweet options. As the person putting together the tour and having to piece together all different reservation requirements it was refreshing that they did not have a time restriction or required a reservation for our group. read more

I stopped by Glenora Winery as part of a Seneca Lake wine tour over the weekend with a small group, and I was nothing more than completely disappointed. Upon approaching the tasting counter and politely asking to taste, the employee refused us service and claimed that we were "too intoxicated." Nobody in our group was intoxicated by any means, and none of us were rude disrespectful in any way to h im or anyone else around us. When we asked why he wouldn't serve us, he gave us no answer, and instead called his manager. When the manager arrived and we politely asked for an explanation, he also would not give us one, and proceeded to escort us off the property. I have never felt so disrespected by a group of employees in my life. I can't help but laugh at the claims of a company that boasts "widely known for its warm hospitality." Glenora will never get my business again. I strongly encourage all of you to support smaller, more respectable companies that care about their customers and the quality of their wine, rather than just money. Glenora winery is a cancer on an otherwise enjoyable and beautiful wine trail. read more
