We were welcomed in extremely warmly, there was only 4 in our party but it was slow and they offered a nice more private room. We had two wine flights which were lovely both in flavor and explanation and backstory that came with each bottle. We met both owners who treated us like family helping us decide which bottles to leave with, even giving input on the area and where we should head to dinner after. So very grateful for this experience genuinely made our first trip to the finger lakes extra special. 100% recommend

A beautiful table was prepared ahead of time, and the staff even greeted us as we stepped off the bus, making us feel like VIPs from the start. A special shoutout to Glenn, who led our tasting experience. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the wines, but he was also absolutely hilarious. He fit right in with our group, joking and laughing with us as if he was part of the party. We spent almost the entire hour and a half laughing while learning about and enjoying some fantastic wines. And we can't forget the chocolate pairing--it was out of this world delicious and complemented the wines perfectly. This was one of the most memorable winery experiences we've ever had. Exceptional hospitality, amazing wine, great company, and an unforgettable host. We can't wait to come back!

We came back 30 minutes later to find the restaurant nearly empty. We were seated immediately, handed menus... and then completely forgotten. Twenty minutes. No server. No water. No drinks. Nothing. The tables around us started asking us if we'd seen a waiter. When someone finally asked the hostess what was going on, her response was, "I have no idea and I can't really help you." For a destination restaurant that markets itself as a special occasion experience, that's simply unacceptable. Beautiful castle. Beautiful lake. Spectacular setting. Zero hospitality.

The most incredible (and only) speakeasy in the Finger Lakes…read more After hours of driving, we knew we needed a cool spot to go to at night for some delicious wine. Of course, the Finger Lakes are KNOWN for wine so we're just thinking we're making reservations for a wine bar (with "speakeasy" vibes). Which that would've been totally cool with us. After continuous back and forth, changing our reservations 50 million times, adding and taking people out, we finally made it to Vinifera on a Friday night and were super apologetic since we had to make yet another change. The staff was absolutely incredible and accommodating, they made sure our party of 10 would be in the same room/table. The only "downfall" was that we'd have to share the room with another small party. Which was absolutely not a problem and we ended up being BFF'S with them by the end of the night. We met the owner Jim - the most incredible human - and he took us down to the speakeasy (which passes right through a super secretive door in the back of the main room upstairs). Side note - the main room upstairs is a vibe on it's own btw and we would've been absolutely fine and happy there. It's an actual wine store and you can purchase all kind of local wines. Be sure to ask and get all the recommendations you want. Not only did we get to enjoy an incredible time but we got a super cool VIP experience and learned the story and so much history about this place, the concept, the origin and what sparked the idea of creating it. That itself, was a treat. On to the actual speakeasy experience. When you go downstairs (through that fun super cool super secretive door) - you're instantly transported to another era, another time. It's dark, it's velvety, chandeliers, spiderwebs (the aesthetic kind, idk if there were actually any but it fit the vibe in my head), Leonardo Da Vinci, Mona Lisa, candles, curtains. There are two super cool rooms, one to the right (which is where our large party sat at) and one to the left - totally recommended for smaller groups, it's cozy, it's chill, you can interact and share with other guests too. Just by this, I'm wowed. As if this wasn't enough, the drinks were absolutely incredible. I ended up ordering some kind of a smoked drink and they happily substituted the regular old fashioned for mezcal. What a dream. Everyone was happy with their drink orders, some ordered some off the menu things and they happily made them - even though they technically only serve what's on the menu. Wine flights are also available if you're in the wine vibe. Bottom line: we loved this place SO much, we came back 2 night's later for our last night. We sat in the other room and absolutely loved and enjoyed it. I had a lavender drink and it was delish. This place is a GEM and you should absolutely check it out and support it if you're in the area. If you're not, well now you have a place I know you'll love to go to!
