She was super attentive to our needs and the food was delicious! One of the volunteer ushers at the opera house was surprised that we were able to get a meal without a reservation because of the restaurant's popularity. Right place for sure at the right time on a Thursday night in Geneva NY! We will return (with a reservation) for the complete hospitality experience!

While I chose a few glasses to taste, most of what I took home were the things she handpicked for me. I was especially taken by the Glint Riesling which was grown from two sunny rows in a very sunny growing season and tastes like liquid sunshine. I also like what they're doing with Savagnin. The moody ambiance of the barn is just right for tasting. Highly recommended!

He was extremely attentive as well. The table/outside patio is quaint and very charming. It also feels extremely private since it's tucked back from the road in a woodsy area. The wine was pretty good overall...not great. The chocolate pairing we did at the end of our experience was totally worth it!!! Their chocolates were absolutely divine and extra delicious when paired with the wine!!! While my friend didn't particularly enjoy her juice flight (she said they all tasted too similar to one another), she really appreciated that they had a non-alcohol flight option.

Owner Susan and Cindy were at the Glorious Garlic Festival on the Geneva waterfront with bottles for sale.

Vintner is the first female to reach the level she aspired to her vast experience including Mondavi in CA. Wonderful wines, relaxing and welcoming atmosphere with comfy private tasting rooms. Suggest reservations as I understand they are quite busy most days. We caught a good time as several were leaving. We will stop back here for sure!

Reviewing the hotel and the Stonecutter's restaurant. Hotel:…read morePositives: close proximity to Geneva, especially if you are seeing a show at the Smith Opera House. Beautiful grounds if the weather is good. On Seneca Lake....gorgeous. Wine spigot in the hotel hallway ( limited to one glass per person). We received a coupon for the wine tasting with 10% off of alcohol purchases in the store. The Continental breakfast had a nice assortment of drinks and cold items. Negatives: one word comes to mind...dated. Our room was small with a very limited lake view. The windows haven't been cleaned in a very long time. The television is tiny, like a computer monitor. The spring rod to the curtains kept springing off every time I tried to open or close the drape. The shower is tiny and you can barely turn around. There are few outlets, the only ones I was able to access that worked were in the bathroom ( only one of the double outlet was functional). The carpet in our room appeared to be about thirty years old and worn. This room, called the clay room was advertised on the website to have a queen bed and a refurbished bathroom. The bathroom has not been touched in years and the queen bed turned out to be a full-size bed. Stonecutters: wonderful waitress, who kept our beverages filled and was attentive. My broccoli cheddar soup had negligible cheddar or broccoli. My salad with grilled shrimp was okay. My husband's Cuban sandwich arrived on a stale roll and he thought the fries (weirdly shaped) were reheated. His chili arrived lukewarm. Not a good experience overall. Despite this, the staff are lovely, upbeat and helpful.

They have multiple different wineries/breweries on the property, something for everyone. High scale drier wines, "redneck" barn with sweet wine & sangria, homemade sodas, brewery, slushy spot, coffee & lattes, literally everything. They have a small food area with great bites. The soft pretzel hits the spot after a day of drinking, and the sausage was amazing too. Poor limp Richard white wine, singria, and apple cider slushy were my favorite. The staff was so great. Everyone was helpful and kind. Staff even took our song suggestions so we could dance, and other guests joined along with us. We had an epic time. I can't say enough good things about this place. We will definitely be making another stop at this place when we are back in town

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!
