We visited the tasting room (only) while visiting the area from out of town. They allow dogs which was nice and offered a water bowl. The tasting room itself has bar seating and lots of space. It has a dark, rich vibe. You are able view wine making equipment and pleasant displays of spirits and other items for purchase. The server was very knowledgeable about the wines and the area, as well as friendly and efficient. The prices were reasonable and we really were able to try lots of different wines. The wine itself was okay. We would consider returning to enjoy their outdoor space on another visit. The only frustrating thing about our visit was that at the very end when we went to pay, we found out that we could not tip using a credit card. This was unexpected. read more

We've been here several times for tastings and special events, and during our most recent visit we had 5 tastings for $5, which also came with a small package of snacks! Their variety of wines is impressive, with a mix of European and American varieties of wines. Everything during our most recent visit was phenomenal... the wines, the employees and the atmosphere were all great! We bought a few bottles as well, and hope to come back again soon! read more

Amazing atmosphere and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. EXCELLENT WINE! We sampled several flavors and enjoyed them all!

We had a fab first visit in our way back to PA from Chautauqua, NY. We had flights of white wine & sparkling wine outside & our college aged male server was great. They have THE coolest flight rack for serving! We enjoyed all of our wines. We all had dry wines. People next to us got the charcuterie board & it really looked amazing. Recommend! read more

We came here on a girls weekend checking out wineries. There are 2 areas the tasting room and an outdoor tented area where you can relax with a bottle or glass of wine. We chose the tasting room. There are 2 bar areas to accommodate people tasting. That's when we met Jackson. He is one of the workers in the tasting room pouring wine. He is a lot of fun, very friendly and helpful. We are a bunch of middle aged ladies and just loved him. We recommend Jackson. Now to the wine. There are a few of us that like sweet and a few of us that like dry. The wines did not disappoint. Not every wine was great but the majority of what we tried we liked. It's $5 a tasting for 5. I am in the sweet camp. And I liked 4 out of the 5 sweeter wines. The Niagara was good and the 2 ice wines were outstanding. Prices are pretty good. And we bought a bottle or 2. They also have some distilled liquor. Gin, vodka, whiskey, and bourbon. They are not their own but they showcase them. Those are $10 for 3 tastings. We tried the 2 crème whiskeys. 1 was a crème brûlée and 1 was a cinnamon, nutmeg, crème whiskey. The crème brûlée was the star. It was delicious and we bought a bottle. We never went to the tented area. So I am not sure about that. But this was fun. Definite stop. read more

Beautiful spot for wine tastings and a bite when you are in the area. We stop by whenever we are passing by. The indoor tasting room is a cool barn and the outdoor tasting area is gorgeous in the warmer months. Either way you can't go wrong. They have a lot of wines to taste, something for every palette. We really enjoyed the bright steel Chardonnay and took some home for another day. read more

We did a flifhr and a tasting. Definitely start with the tasting. Received great service and information.

The staff was very friendly and engaging and took time to discuss wines in detail with us and even cracked a few jokes and made friendly banter. We enjoyed the wines and bought a few to take home. The tasting area has a darker wine cellar feel to it but there is also an outside area available in warm seasons b read more

I've been wanting to stop in for a tasting but it's 2 hours from home. I decided to stop on the way back from Buffalo and it was perfect. The tasting room was immaculate and Kamal was amazing. He asked questions and made recommendations. The wine was delicious and we're looking forward to going back. It's convenient to buy their wine in the store but we plan to visit the winery regularly. The knowledge is priceless. read more

Great atmosphere and large selection of wines. Kate was a good host and really knew and understood all of the wines we tasted.

Great atmosphere and super knowledgeable and friendly staff, especially Joe! And the wine is excellent!

So this by far is one of our favorite wineries to hit on the Lake Erie trail. The staff here especially Matthew are very friendly and knowledgeable of the wines. They will even tell you about some ghost stories if you are interested. They have a unique mix of European wines and some local ones as well. There is truly a wine for everyone and they give you some cheese and nuts while you sample! It's just one of the best! read more

I am super late on this review!! Johnson Estate Winery please forgive me !! In May of this year I randomly won a May Day wine and food pairing at the Johnson Estate Winery!! What an amazing experience!! This beautiful Winery is a hour right outside of Buffalo,NY. It was such a beautiful drive in. The winery itself has this beautiful rustic vibe. Unfortunately, we missed the array of cheeses and appetizers but we just in time for the pairing. The food was amazing, I even loved the tart which had mushrooms in it, I normally don't even like mushrooms. Each wine paired perfectly with this 4 course meal. The owner had such a fun personality as well the curator!! We laugh the entire time. And the reason for this gathering was the May Wine !!! A wine that is only harvested around this time in Germany for May Day. So delightful and light ....but the alcohol content was a lil on the higher side so we had to be careful,lol. This was such a event, they truly made everyone feel like we were a part of their family. I can't wait for the spring to participate in one or more of their pairs or just to hang out enjoy some wine in the country. read more

Three of us stopped in this month, on a Sunday, for their "Sip and Savor" event. A lovely way to spend some time, enjoyed both the food and the wine. Truly, each wine sample (there were four) is only a ip or two. Had the wine been a bit more generous, I would have given them 5 stars. Quiche was being offered that day; choice of veggie or bacon lovers. Bacon Lover's: Mushroom Crostini with Bacon, Ham & Bacon Quiche, Green Salad with Bacon Dressing, & Chocolate Baba Tartlette. Veggie Fresh: Mushroom Crostini, Spinach Quiche, Green Salad with Bleu Cheese Dressing, & Caramel Baba Tartlette. Although they were pairing white wine with the veggie option, substituting the red was not an issue. They were very accommodating, and allowed us to sit and chat for a few hours. Be sure to allow time to browse the shop for local foods and other products, in addition to their own wines. Their website indicates they're continuing this event in March. read more

Me and the hubby (& the pup) had a long weekend planned near Cook's Forest. We decided to go a little out of the way to go to Johnson Estate Winery. Wow! I am so happy we did. We sat at a picnic table outside at Flight. I got the dry white flight (oaked chardonnay, steel chardonnay, and syval blanc) and then a glass of sevyl blanc. The hubby got a glass of the concord and we got a charcuterie board. Our waitress was amazing!!! She was good to us and great to our pup. I didn't catch her name but...wow! She was terrific. The wine is fantastic. The charcuterie board was just enough to hold us over to dinner. And the atmosphere, we had the most amazing fall day. Stopped in the store to get a case and the staff there, also amazing. I would come back just for an afternoon. Amazing! 5 star service, 5 star wine, and 5 star atmosphere. read more

My boyfriend and I were visiting the Westfield area from NYC and decided to stop at the winery for some outdoor wine flights and charcuterie boards for lunch. We had SUCH a wonderful time! The wine flights were awesome but the charcuterie board was especially awesome and for such great value. We were extremely impressed how the board included lots of extremely delicious dried and fresh fruits. Extra shoutout to our waiter Kaleb who was the absolute best. We hope to return next time we're in the area! read more

Johnson Estate Winery - Us outside on the cute patio on a September weekend - Wineries Near Me - Westfield, New York

Visited yesterday and it really was a relaxing time. We sat outside and ordered flights and the charcuterie board, which says it's for two but was more than enough for the four of us. There was a smoked whitefish dip that was top tier - highly recommend. It was a beautiful day and the owner came around and chatted with us at the end. It was a really dope way to spend a Saturday. read more

We stopped by on a whim as we traveled through the area. We were delighted with our experience. The tasting room was rustic and cozy, reflecting the locale and history of the winery. Our tasting room staff, Carrie, was knowledgeable, yet personable and engaging. She encouraged being adventurous with wines we weren't familiar with. Which was fun and informative. We enjoyed our tasting experience and purchased several bottles. We'll be sure to include a stop on our next trip through! read more

My sister and I attended the Harvest weekend in November and Johnson Estate was one of our stops. It was no doubt my favorite!! I love the rustic interior and setup especially the front porch area. The winery was more organized than most. We were told where to go when we arrived. The pairing of the founders red and jambalaya was superb. We had a tough time finding a spot to sample more wine after we got our pairing, so we went back the original spot to ask for guidance (that area was empty) and before we could say anything the woman came over frustrated with us being there and told us we need to clear this area and go somewhere else. Wow, surprised by the unwelcoming comment, I proceeded to tell her that were having difficultly finding an area at the bars to sample. It was crowded at the two sampling bars. She abruptly left and found a spot and waved us over. Maybe she was just overwhelmed and tired. We ended up being treated very well by a woman who was helping us sample wine at the front right-side bar (parking lot). She was lovely and so sweet, and I wish I would have gotten her name to give her a shout out (brown wavy hair). It was a great sampling experience for me and my sister both. I am a red wine drinker.. not white. I have not had any white that I favor over red. This winery had so many delicious blends. I found my white wine, Sayval Blanc. I had to purchase along with the founders red. We will be visiting John Estate again soon. read more

Stopped in on the way to visiting family from the Midwest. Amazing wines at reasonable prices. The tasting fee of 5 samples for $5 was well worth it. They present you with a generous sample in real glassware suited for the wines you're tasing not a plastic shot cup. We got a good deal more than our five which most likely facilitated a sizable sale. Went in for a bottle or two came out with 12. Our "server was wonderful. I'm sorry I don't recall her name. Dog friendly as long as your pup is well mannered. They provided our dog with a bowl of fresh water. Will definitely be back and recommended them to relatives in the area. Hoping to experience more in the future. You won't be sorry you stopped. read more

Stopped by on the way from Niagara to Ohio and we are so happy we stumbled upon this. We were so happy to find an affordable tasting ($5 for 5 compared to $25 throughout Canada) and were equally happy to find high quality wines. Staff were very friendly and we even found some maple liquor to bring home. It was well worth the drive and we hope to visit again! read more

This is a beautiful venue and wine for any taste from sweet to dry. The outdoor seating offers a great view of the vineyards and the cheese and charcuterie board was amazing! What a relaxing way to spend an afternoon! read more

Johnson Estate Winery - Outside area to sip a glass of wine and enjoy a charcuterie board. - Wineries Near Me - Westfield, New York

This is one of my favorite stops along the Erie wine trail! We have been here on several occasions over the past three years and several of their staff members have been there over that length of time as well. The woman who served us our pairing is always fun and jokes around with us. The womam who tended to us at the tasting bar knew everything about each of the wines and what they pair best with. She was so informative and also asked for feedback regarding the event, valuing it. This winery has a nice variety of alcoholic beverages. They have typical dry to sweet wines, two spiced wines, a cream sherry (that I love), and a few liqueurs, one being a maple flavor that we tend to purchase almost every time we come here. They have a water station set up that also has hot tea or hot chocolate options as well. The round tables are all tall, standing room only. They display their wine making vats for all to see how the process occurs in their facility. Bottom line - check this winery out if you are in NY. You will find something you like and if not, you will enjoy the company of the staff! read more
