    Key lime pie and wine tasting flight
    Kelly N.

    Nice outdoor seating. Went on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy. Pleasant staff. Desserts were delicious but limited and two of the options we wanted they were out of. The wine was very good we especially enjoyed some of their sweeter reds.

    First time stopping since reopening. They have more alcohol options including bourbon and whiskey with more cans including high noons. Always a fun time to go to a tasting or get a flight. Sat by fire with a bottle of wine and was great despite the wind. Have to go back to try the food!

    This winery at lake Cazenovia was beautiful. And the wine selections were great. Unfortunately the service was not. Me and my 5 friends came here to celebrate a birthday. We arrived at 2pm on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon and they were busy, so we were expecting a wait. There wasn't a wait at the tasting room so we chose to do the premium tasting (5 tastes for $8) for 4 people. The woman behind the bar was dismissive and rude! She kept complaining about not having enough wine glasses, was not helpful with drink choices, and told us to get off our phones. I get that this is a "taste" but The pour size was disappointing. I tried to engage in conversation and make the experience better but it just wasn't going to happen, she was dismissive and clearly did not want us there. When we finished our 5 tastes (and 1 complimentary) she began to cheer up as she gave us new wine glasses to take as a souvenir (part of the premium taste option) We decided that the wine was great so we wanted to sit outside and drink with a purchase of 2 bottles and snacks. The hostess was helpful in getting us a table and enough chairs. Our waitress seemed to be annoyed with us and not helpful. There were a lot of negative non verbal body language. We ordered deviled eggs, oil and bread x2, and 2 bottles of wine. Which took 35 minutes to be delivered to us. OWERA THE FOOD?! We ordered BREAD AND OIL... Worth mentioning: The water was never replaced in the 1.5 hour we were there. Overall, i did not enjoy my time here. The blush and rose were good. But I'd rather go elsewhere with better service.

    My fiancé surprised me with a trip to Owera vineyards and we were super impressed. It was our first time there for both of us. Our waitress was super nice and bubbly. She asked us what kinds of wine we like and offered to surprise us with a flight based on what we told her. It was fun to have someone else pick the wines because I like to try different things. We had just eaten lunch so we didn't order any food however the menu looked delicious so we'll definitely be back.

    Gorgeous views and great wine! You can order wine flights to try multiple types. The food menu is small but their flatbread pizzas and charcuterie boards are tasty.

    The Reds were terrible. The Chardonnay nicely Oaked but weak on the finish.

    First of all the property is beautiful. There are seating areas outside as well as chairs looking into the sunset. The innerbar has a live edge top and dark space but calming. On the day I visited the tasting room was closed on a Saturday. The oven was down so no pizza. Over priced charcuterie boards that were average looking at best were the only items served. I had a flight of wines. The Chardonnay was nicely asked but weak on the finish. The roads were so bad I left them behind. The bartender spoke only to one other couple so I learned nothing about the wines. After I was done I got up and left. Not sure I'd come back.

    Flank steak and shrimp and scallop cakes.

    We went for wine and music and we were not disappointed. The wine is always good here. We decided to order small plates because they no longer do the pizzas, which is a shame. We ordered the small plates...flank steak and shrimp and scallops cakes. Both had good flavor but were barely warm which ruined it for us. It wasn't crowded so there was no excuse. We loved our server Jackie, very attentive and had us laughing. We will definitely be back for wine but will skip the food, too expensive for mediocre at best food. The enlarged patio was very nice too.

    I'll be honest; when my mother said "let's go wine tasting" I was not all that excited. Don't get me wrong, I love me some wine, but on a cloudy afternoon I was totally content with staying home (and drink wine on the couch, of course!) Fast forward a few hours- and I'm so glad I made the trip with the rest of the fam out to Owera Vineyards. Here is a little breakdown of what to expect, the good/bad, etc. + The backdrop for Owera is beautiful. The building sits atop one of the rolling hills of Madison County and looks out over the lovely Cazenovia Lake. + There is a ton of parking. + The building where the tastings are held is stunning. From its shingled exterior to its warm and rich interior, I loved the wood work and materials used throughout. + The main bar is huge, gorgeous (made of raw edge wood and stained a delicious golden color) and basically wraps around the room. There are plenty of seats for those who are looking to do some tasting. + There are two tasting options: $5/3 samples or for $8/5 samples + a souvenir glass. Bonus- all tasters get a sample of the signature 'Betty's White' for free. Sooooo really you're tasting 4/$5 and 6/$8. I recommend going w/ the $8 option. Who wouldn't want to try more wine!? - For the most part the staff was friendly. When we arrived and found a spot at the bar one of the gals greeted us and passed out menus for us to look over. Unfortunately she didn't come back to pour our samples. Our wine-tasting-pourer wasn't super friendly to begin with and even seemed a little annoyed when I asked 'which wines are made here?' She lighted up a bit after the first few samples and proved to be very knowledgeable about all the varieties of wine sold at Owera. + the majority of the group opted for the $8/5 sample option... and Owera is serving up a lot of delicious wine! Favorites included: 2012 Semi Dry Riesling (silky smooth wine with hints of apricots, peaches), 2012 Cazenovia Blush (made locally & features the subtle sweetness of fresh strawberries), and the (I'm not a red fan usually... especially a dry red... but this one was smooth like butta and had this dark smoky black cherry thing going on. Yum.) - After so much wine samplin' a group can get sortof hungry, no? Owera is serving up brick oven pizzas made fresh. Our group ended up ordering the Teddy: Tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni and prosciutto. I wasn't part of the ordering process because I imagine if I was I would have pointed out that a pepperoni pizza with prosciutto was a weird combo. Too much salty meat for one pizza. The prosciutto just felt like the pizza was trying to hard to be rustic and fit in with the rest of the vineyard. The pizzas were expensive too... I think the pie was $16 and it's not huge + Each wine we sampled was available for purchase- and prices ranged for $12-$20. Bonus- if you purchase 4+ bottles they give you a little cloth wine bag. + Patio out front overlooking Caz Lake seems as though it would be a perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine on a nice day. Although if its still cloudy out there are plenty of 4-person high-top tables inside. Overall a great afternoon spent sipping delicious wines from Upstate NY. If you haven't gone yet and happen to be cruising through Cazenovia (or Canastota, or Manlius, or Oneida, etc) then stop by and have a sample or a bottle. Owera doesn't disappoint.

    Wine slushies with a great view!

    Owera Vineyards has SO much to offer! My friend and I made it a day trip. We hiked at Chittenango Falls State Park in the morning then came here for lunch and some wine tasting! (It's about 10 minutes from the park). I've been to tons of vineyards but this is on my list of top 3 favorites. The views are gorgeous and they have SO much land! My friend and I did a $8 dollar wine tasting which includes 5 wines & a complementary wine glass. They have a great variety but my all time favorite was the Betty's White. We ended up getting a bottle to share and the Teddy's Pizza. They have tons of food options as well. Everything was top notch including the service, food, and overall atmosphere. Our waitress was absolutely amazing. After eating we went outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather and views of the vineyard. There was a couple outside eating lunch with a beautiful German Shepherd dog. It's awesome that Owera is dog friendly! HUGE PLUS! Overall, I would give this place 10 stars if I could. It's perfect for a date night, girls day out, bachelorette party, or just to take your mom for some wine and lunch! You will not be disappointed! :)

    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.
