Second stop on our wine tour. Sadly today it was 'off'. The person serving us didn't seen too interested in having us there. He poured our selections and left the area. Maybe it was just not to bother us while sipping but it felt the oppodite. I'm glad we didn't want or need anything ese. The pours were generous & the setting is nice. The wines were ok but just for personal taste I prefer dryer wines. 2025-89 read more

Went on a winery hopping trek with friends around the Olcott NY area. We didn't plan on stopping here but someone saw there sign along Lake Rd. Since I was the designated driver, i can't review the wine but I can review the service and atmosphere. We went in and the others in the group ordered tasting flights of wine. There was no friendly interaction, recommendations or wine description from the person pouring the wine. It was a very cold unwelcoming interaction. Immediately after pouring, the person just disappointed, not seen again until someone in our party wanted to buy something. Then he came running out from wherever he was hiding. Even though the wine may be okay, friendliest is not there. Unless you don't care about a cold atmosphere I'd say skip it. read more

Schulze Vineyards & Winery - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Burt, New York

Food - we did not order any. Nor did we check to see if food is offered. Sorry! Wines, of all types. Try those sweet Ruby red. I tried that one once when I came here in the past. Service is quick and friendly. It being a nice day outside, warm and sunny, we did not do indoor wine tasting. We bought a bottle of Reisling white. Little sweet. Chilled. Really enjoyable on a warm day sitting on their lovely patio looking out at the grassy lawn area. There are small tables and chairs and even large picnic tables if you want to bring the gang. Ambiance 5/5. Too bad I didn't remember to take pictures ! Will definitely be back again. Maybe to try the ice wine when the weather cools in winter. read more

My husband and I came for the Holiday Happening wine trail event, this is one of our favorites in the area! The staff are always friendly and helpful and we enjoy their wines. The crackling wine is especially yummy. They have a variety of wines for all tastes as well. In the summer they have a large patio and outdoor area and we love sitting out there! read more

Schultz Vineyards & Winery is always one of my favorite places to go visit. Ann is so great to chat with about winemaking. We finally got to meet Martin, the winemaker! He is always busy making wine. What a wonderful place with delicious wines. The Vidal Blanca Ice Wine was the best I have ever had. I love hearing the rich story about the history of this winery. Great place with wonderful energy! #german #icewine #aurelia #vidalblanc #riesling #catabwa #rose #vidalblanc read more

Shouts out to the staff at the winery, during covid even with mask restricitions lifted by the CDC, one never knows what kind of customer service,to expect at the end of a busy Sunday. Stopped in literally 15 minutes to closing at 5: 45 p.m., they closed at 6 pm. Customer service is their priority in my opinion at Schultze, I dont know too many wineries that are accomadating that you can sample four wines for $5, browse around at their wine themed retail, and make a purchase of two wines in under a half hour. I've always wanted to try their wine; and was skeptical every time at my local liquor store, after visiting the actually winery ,their wines may be my new favorites. If your a sweet wine drinker highly recommend Ruby; if you enjoy the taste of grapes go for the Thirty Mile Point white wine. If you find yourself in Niagara County, bored check out the winery...their are plenty of signs and its easy to find. The winery has been opened since 2006, and sells their wine in several area local liquor stores. Another great way to enjoy a nice drive and support local. Be sure to check in on YELP, you receive a 10 % of your purchase. read more

Schulze Vineyards & Winery - four glasses of wine on a tray - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Burt, New York

Even during Covid we still we're able to enjoy some wine tasting on our weekend to Niagara falls. Schulze was our first stop. We really wanted to try ice wine. Schulze offered two to try. Bother we're good, but Block Three took the prize for us. With the new Covid rules, you have to make a food purchase with your tasting. Their cheese choices were pretty good. While there we were warmly welcomed by the resident pup on staff. She was a joy and has a great story. Besides the ice wine, we each bought their Mon Cheri-cherry wine read more

We really enjoy Schulze wine and stopped in recently after months since our last visit. We each got a tasting (4 samples for $5) and a bag of cubed cheese from East Hill Creamery to go with it. Since we got cheese they also gave us a small bag of wheat thins. There were several tables and chairs setup on their porch, so we had a peaceful tasting outside enjoying nature. Note: we went during the week so it was quiet. On a weekend, you may want to consider bringing your own picnic blanket and venturing out to the grassy area behind the building. Wine selection: they offer a variety of wines that span from sweet to dry, as well as wine slushees. For food they have several cheeses to choose from like East Hill Creamery, Yancy Fancy, and more, as well as a few other snack food options. Their shop also includes many wine gifts in addition to bottles of wine. This is a nice stop if you want to enjoy a tasting outside, or pickup a bottle of wine for yourself or as a gift for others. read more

Had a good tasting as always. Got cheese and crackers for our Cuomo mandated food. The cheese went well with the wine. Had red barn, Siegfried, catawba and vidal blanc. Liked all 4. read more

Schulze Vineyards & Winery - two glasses of wine on a tray - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Burt, New York

This is one of my favorite wineries in the area. They have great wines and a nice patio that tends to stay pretty quiet. I love that they let you buy a bottle instead of glass too. They also have good slushies! read more

I came here tonight to run a 5K race along the vineyard property. The winery offered three tastings on your 5K bib. To have less contact and time in the winery, the employees gave you one large pour, instead of three small samples. After my sample, I wanted to try one of the other sweet wines. They were willing to do that but because of the governor's rules, asked me to sit down at a small table in the corner. They had a discount if you bought between three and five bottles (or other larger quantities) so I bought one bottle of each sweet wine. The Catawba, the Ruby, and the Thirty Mile Point. The Ruby is my favorite. The employees were very kind and helpful. They thanked me for visiting their winery. I'd love to come back and sample more, or to stop by for a wine slushee, if I'm back in the area. read more

The attendant is very knowledgeable about the business and the ice wine is awesome. Family owned and operated

Nice facility with plenty of parking. Live edge brewery is next door. The staff is friendly and helpful. The bar is in the center of the room and is approachable from four sides. There are tables inside and outside. The wines don't appeal to me but I take visitors because it has plenty of room and the people are nice. read more

I came here for the first time a couple weeks ago with my fiancé and my family as we were in a search to pick wines we like for our upcoming wedding. The place was really nice, but we weren't a big fan of the wines. They had a couple we liked, like their sparkling wines, but a lot of their wines are dry wines. I'm not much of a dry wine person and neither is my fiancé or anyone in my family. That's the only reason for four stars instead of five. The bright side is that if you're not a fan of dry wines or you're more of a beer person, Live Edge Brewing is right next door. read more

First stop on a quick winery tour from Niagara Falls, NY. Place was nice and clean. Very well maintained tasting room. Our tasting ambassador was Lisa. I tried the Old Barn Red, the Aurelia, and Seigfried Reserve, and the Catawba. Lisa was very thorough in explaining the wines. My interest was not looking for wines that are comparable to France, Italy, California, or even Texas (where I'm from). Although, you can use this as a frame of reference. Wines are much more than the liquid in the glass. Wine is about people, place, and passion. We don't grow Catawba or Riesling in Texas - it's too hot. And NY doesn't grow Tannat or Tempranillo - it's too cold. Wine is about taking a grape (or fruit), and bringing out the expression of what it can be, using what you have in front of you. It's about the people that make that happen - and their stories of bring their passion to share with others. All of the wines I tasted were dry, save the Catawba. They were fairly balanced, very light, and besides the Catawba, tight. Acidity was prevalent, bit not too overbearing. I would highly recommend visiting Schulze Vineyards & Winery. Enjoy their wine, and their company. read more

Arrived within 30 minutes of closing and they served us with open arms. I have been here a couple times for the Hallowine tour and it's always fun. The staff is warm and helping. Their bread and butter falls on the sweeter side. Ruby, Thirty Miles, and Catawba are their Gold Winners. My personal favorite is the Thirty Miles. $3 for a tasting but FREE if your Military. The owners were even so nice to give my friend a free tasting just by being with me. Also 15% discount for Military members when buying bottles of wine. read more

I've been here twice. I'll include my impressions of all the wines I've tried. The Block Three Ice Wine had an interesting honey flavor, though I didn't pick up on the promised rose petals. The semi dry Riesling is good. It has the fruity notes and crisp finish I want in a Riesling, but I think I like Rusty's Riesling from Vizcarra or Freedom Blue from Freedom Run a little bit more. The Lotus is sweet and tart but unmemorable. The Ruby tastes like the name: rich, red and decadent. The Catawba wine is pleasantly sweet and tart. I prefer it to the Lotus. Crackling Catawba is a little more sweet than tart, and wonderfully effervescent. I did not like Crackling Niagara, but I haven't had a lot of success with wines from that particular grape. I thought maybe a different wine making approach would help offset the foxiness, but nope; the pleasant fizz only made the unpleasant flavor all the more pronounced. Mon Cheri is Maraschino cherry sweetness with an enjoyable fizz. I like it paired with a cannoli at Cafora's because the sweetness of the wine compliments the less aggressively sweet pastry well. Not a serious wine, but fun. The staff tends to skew young, detached and uninformative. Today I was asked if I was tasting with the intent to purchase (which I was.) That was awkward. I picked up the Crackling Catawba since we're grilling for the holiday. read more

I really enjoy their wines. The staff and owners are wonderful. I especially like the outdoor seating for a tasting or just relaxing.

This was one of the stops I came to while on a wine tour. If you happen to come this way make sure you stop in and ask for a taste that mon cheri(crackling). They say that wine won a gold medal and they was not lying. read more

The staff was kind enough to check on wine available, and other wineries, since they no longer had it. The inside experience was friendly, but not overly comfortable. Outside was a nice viewing experience, but the brewery next-door was very loud. read more

One of the top 3 wineries to visit on Niagara trail. Schulze, Gust of Sun, and Niagara Landing are my favorite places to go when I visit the trail. Schulze features crackling wine aka tasty bubblelies, ice wine aka sweet crunkle juice, and amazing wines. Try the buttery reserve Chardonnay, it's so good you'll want to pour it in your mouth like you did with butter when you were little. read more

Schulze Vineyards & Winery - Wine! - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Burt, New York

My boyfriend and I went to this winery because we have a NYS Wine Card and it offered a free tasting. The staff was welcoming and friendly. They seemed a little distracted but we realized later they had 2 buses coming and were preping for chaos! We tried some dry and sweet wines; we noticed with their wines they all had strong smells. We could smell so many different things in every wine. It might have been the glasses they had provided. We bought one bottle of wine from them and a Buffalo Bills wine glass coozy. Never seen anything like that so I had to snag it. read more

Charming little grape farm turned winery after years of dreaming. The winemaker and his wife were pouring in the tasting room, which is always a nice touch. He was sharing his trials and tribulations and it made you appreciate the wines that much more. The wines were a good mix of dry wines from European grapes and sweet wines from American grapes. There's a small fee for the tasting, but they'll pour you generally anything on the list, and I believe they waived the fee when we bought a few bottles. read more

One of my favorite vineyards! Very nice tasting room with friendly helpful staff. Many excellent wines to choose from at decent prices. Be sure to join their loyalty program for discounts! I go here often and have never been disappointed. The were able to handle 2 large bachelorette parties and several couples that walked in and still remained efficient and friendly! Make sure to call ahead for large groups and they will have enough staff on for a good experience! read more

Schulze Winery is one of my wife and I's favorite wineries! We love the wine, and the whole atmosphere here. They have a delicious assortment of wines, to which we have tried almost all of them. My wife and I are sweet wine drinkers, so that is what we gravitate towards but I am a fan of a lot of the options here. The location is nicely setup, has a great group of people that are a part of the staff. We enjoy the Ruby, and Thirty Mile Point as our top two here. We usually have one of the large bottles on hand for any party/gathering that might be occurring at our house. We did a cake decorating class here, and that was a lot of fun, wine and cake how can you go wrong? I know they always have different events happening, and it is great to see them doing so well. I am a huge fan of this winery, and we will continue to patron here for a long time, thank you for being a great place to stop on our wine tours! read more

Cab Franc sparkler is worth the trip out to Newfane. They call it Fizz. We really enjoyed ourselves outside on the patio.

One of my favorites in NIagara county. Best service. They take care of their community. Always donate to fund raisers. Stop by for a sample and you will take home a few bottles too. They give military Discounts. read more

Wonderful selection, well curated and cozy. Delicious. Well crafted. Even the bottles look nice!

One of my favorite wineries visited during the Hallowine tour. All of their wines are incredibly delicious. The winery itself is pretty large and very busy. They also have a brewery with food next door. We will DEFINITELY be back!! I bought a bottle of the Ruby! Our wine server was very friendly and gave great recommendations. read more

This one is small but the wines are worth it. They have live music on certain days and makes for a fun time. The staff was smiling and very helpful. Some of my favorites are the Ruby, crackling catawba, mon cheri, and Riesling. These make you want to have wine everyday. Will be back to restock my wine fridge. read more

Beautiful winery. Their wine is absolutely delicious! It's a perfect stop on a wine tour with plenty of room. The wine is affordable with a nice selection. The owners take a lot of pride in their work and it shows! Very clean, well maintained, knowledgeable staff, great parking, easy to find and beautiful scenery. Sweet as well as dry red, white and blush wines, bubbly wines and dessert wines. Cute gift items as well. Great discount programs. read more

I love this place and everything about it. During lockdown, they delivered wine to my house (which is kinda far away but I guess someone- maybe an owner?- lives near me so he delivered). The Lakehouse Red is probably my favorite local wine, ever, in the history of local wines. The staff is amazing. Oh, and did I mention that these guys support and give back to the community? Their tasting room is nicely put together with a great selection of merchandise and bottles surrounding the bar and a few tables to hang out at. I love love love Schulze Vineyards & Winery. read more

Very friendly staff helped me to pick some wines to purchase. The woman who helped me was extremely knowledgeable about each of the wines I tasted and directed me toward some that she knew I would probably like, and she was right. $2 will get you 3 tastings, but if you buy a certain amount of bottles, they waive it plus give you a discount! I am not a fan of oaky wines, but I did try one red one that I particularly liked...very very smooth. Also, check in here and receive a % off! read more

Each wine I tasted here during our wine tour was delicious. I am a HUGE fan of the Thirty Mile Point. It is so grapey, its like adult grape juice. The inside was very clean and the staff was nice. The price for the bottles is cheap. They had crackling wines which were also very tasty! read more

Stopped in to taste some wine after doing some Cherry picking up at Singer farms. There was a bus tour there as I stopped in, but even with all the other people the ladies pouring the wine were very attentive. The place itself is nice and I especially liked some of their white wines. I would stop back in again if up in the area for sure. read more

We recently attended a Dog Days at this beautiful winery. My stepson shows two dogs in the dog show, as well as we took our dog to both visit and socialize. The winery was a real bonus. We went in and tasted some wines and then purchased one Catawba wine. We finished the bottle between four people so I returned and bought two more bottles of the same wine for gifts. We also ate lunch at the restaurant there on the premises. It was beautiful day outside, so in all it was a very positive experience for both people and all our furry friends. I would reccomend this winery to anyone looking for a fun day out and something to do. read more

Every time I walk out the door, I am reminded of how much I love this winery! It's a great place to go no matter what type of wine drinker you are....They have it all! I have always gone with a group of people and everyone finds something they love and walk out with a bottle....or a few (or a case) haha! There is also amazing cheese for sale and other artisan items. This last time I was there we purchased a bottle, cheese and a box of crackers. They cut up the cheese (at no extra cost) and opened a chilled bottle of wine (at no extra cost) and we sat outside at a bistro table overlooking the vineyard. IT WAS AN AMAZING DAY!!!! Thank you, Schulze! read more
