Plenty of seating outdoors as well with full table service. They do offer live music on select evenings as well. We were immediately greeted upon arrival and provided menus with wine tasting options or by the glass. They do offer a selection of local brews as well. We chose a table indoors, service was attentive. I had a four pour wine tasting, the dry Riesling was my favorite. Though listed as dry it is very smooth and just the right balance between dry and sweet without any aftertaste. I purchased a bottle of that for $23 and tasting $12. They have a pizza food truck onsite and local cheeses that can be purchased. The Garlic and Herb Yogurt Cheese from Buttercup cheese was a creamy delight! Definitely a great stop if you are in the area or taking a Drive around Oneida Lake!

The wines were good - a little on the sweet side but the Rose Shimmer and the La Crescent was nice - and paired well with the two delicious pizzas we got. My husband got the Cab Franc and enjoyed it as well. Both pizzas were a good size. We also had the Cab Franc Sorbet which was a delightful palette cleanser. The tasting room was bustling but not over crowded. All the staff were super nice and the chef even came out to check in on us. Really loved our experience and will return the next time we are in the area.

I attended the Adult Easter Egg Hunt last Saturday. How fun! As you approach the grounds from the…read moreparking lot you can see eggs scattered about. Check in was in the main barn. We were given a drink ticket with our admission ticket (which was around $50). The event usually does sell out so it's wise to get tickets well in advance if able. We were given bags to collect eggs if needed. There were specific times to search for eggs and collect prizes so that seemed pretty organized. There was live music and a heavy snack buffet bar that included quesadillas, fried pickles, BBQ chicken sliders, and potato salad. I won a bottle of flavored vodka, some candy, and a dozen donuts (that I have to return for). It was a fun twist on a childhood Easter activity with a few opportunities to win something fun. Just be advised that you may need to return some of the prizes.

Anyela's vineyard is located about 10 minutes from downtown Skaneateles. It is located on a…read morebeautiful property and offers some gorgeous views. I'm not sure if customers are able to walk the vineyards because it was raining when we got there. We stopped in for wine tastings - $20 for the preset menus and $25 for selecting your own wines. The tasting includes 4 wines and I thought the pours were generous. We also ordered a pepperoni pizza with hot honey to share and it was delicious. The service at the vineyard is a little strange because we sat in the main room upon entry but were told to go pick up our pizza in a different room. Thankfully they weren't very busy and the sweet lady that poured our wine ended up bringing the pizza over to us. They have 3 or 4 different rooms you can sit in. We chose the main room with both low top and high tops, one room had a fireplace to snuggle up next to in cooler months, and then the outdoor seating where they had live music allowed you to feel the breeze and see some views. The wine was good - our favorite of the day being the Cayuga White so we purchased a bottle to share which is a much better deal than buying by the $12 glass. This is a great place to hangout with friends or go on a date. It wasn't too busy on a Saturday afternoon but steady and very enjoyable. We played cards while we sat and drank and it was a wonderful time.

The ambiance is great.... quiet and peaceful. Love the decor. Staff are very friendly. Super clean as well. It's a self-serve winery with many options.

Today was their brunch menu. I tried the French toast, which was delish. I would def come back!

We had a tour of the…read moremaple syrup room and the brewing area and learned quite a bit about how Critz Farms started and evolved over the years. The owner told us about the Agro-tourism industry that connects people to farms, ranches for the purpose of recreation, education and direct sales. Critz operates all year round with activities and events for all the seasons. Christmas trees, maple syrup, pumpkin picking, apples, kids areas, rides in a wagon and so much more. We had a very good time in the tap room doing a tasting of several of their hard ciders. Everyone we came in contact with was friendly and we even got to meet the beautiful dog Watson. I'm looking forward to coming back with the whole family.

First off, this is a liquor store in the mall. GENIUS!!!! This place has EVERYTHING! And whatever…read morethey don't have, they take requests. The lady at the counter saw the types of things I was choosing and made other recommendations based on it. Further, because I chose so many items I received a discount! Who doesn't love a discount? This store is located in Destiny USA, at the carousel entrance, across from Panera Bread. The store is sectioned off by spirits. They have packaged items you can purchase as gifts also. Their prices are well beyond reasonable. Some are honestly a dollar or 2 cheaper than the usual liquor store. They have a VIP club you can sign up with to receive notifications on discounts and sales. Plus you get discounts when you spend $100 or more. Even if you don't spend $100, there are other discounts for purchasing multiple items. If you like wine, they have a variety of choices from sweet to dry. They also have some in the cooler if you don't want to wait to have a cold glass of white. So next time you're in the mall, or near the mall, visit Sip Sip Hooray and celebrate whatever occasion you have. Or just celebrate the ability to get alcohol for a great price!

Food is ok nothing special to get excited about.

My only problem is the fact that they let people in the seats for the Chevy Court stage right when the fair opens, so naturally you'll get the entitled elderly people who want to sit down in the very front, and complain when you walk right up to the pit in front of them.

Yeast - only Wyeast, some Danstar and Safale. NO White Labs. The yeast packest are never expired. The hops selection is decent. Pretty basic.

I mostly stop in here for the little brewing bits that break or get dirty or that can be easily replaced, and they are priced well here. My biggest peeve is that they only carry Munton's ingredients (carb tabs, bottling sugars, spices, etc.) which are overpriced (due to the brand, not EJ Wren). Their ingredient kits look like they're from the 1970s. The staff is excellent and attentive, albeit a bit awkward sometimes. It goes with the homebrewing community well.
