They have such a unique collection of meads, and cocktails, it is heaven in a glass. The bar is open and inviting, the staff always makes us feel welcome and take care of us. They have a great selection of items to compliment the mead, such as a delicious charcuterie board. Nothing like sipping some mead and eating some delicious meats and cheeses. They have also opened up an axe throwing range which is a lot of fun, and they even have a league. It is a true release of frustration and stress, plus really awesome to hear the bell ring when you get a bullseye. I have seen music performed there, and they always have different events. I highly recommend 810 to everyone!!!

The server at the meadery/cindery couldn't answer any of our questions about the products she was pouring, and the place had the feel of abandonment. We were the only ones there, and now we know why. The staff was disinterested in helping us, had zero knowledge of the products, and was definitely not engaging or fun. Made us feel like a burden. There are PLENTY of good places to go, places that want your business, and want to talk about their products. Leave this place off your list!

I only had two wineries earmarked for our Finger Lakes trip: Montezuma on the Cayuga Lake wine…read moretrail because I already knew I liked their mead and blueberry wine, and this meadery on the Seneca Lake wine trail because meads and fruit wines are my favorite. Right now, you come inside to ask for a tasting which they will bring to you at a covered table outside. They currently offer tastings from a few preset lists. The traditional mead was my favorite. I might even like it a smidge more than the sweet mead from Montezuma, but they are pretty closely matched in flavor. The contemporary mead has spicier flavor (not hot, just herbaceous). If you're familiar with the Niagara wine trail, the traditional is like a lighter, less heady Odin's Nectar from Black Willow Winery (which I also love, but prefer in cooler months) and the contemporary reminded me of meads I've tried at 810 Meadworks. I also tried meads blended with cranberry, strawberry or raspberry wines. They were good, but my favorite wine is Blueberry Bounty, which is 45% blueberry wine and 55% mead. It tastes 100% like Red Vines to me (except not synthetic). I bought a bottle of that, and the traditional mead. Service is great. The venue is beautiful.

I love mead so I was looking forward to trying this place but ended up disappointed. They have a…read morelarge selection of different flavors of mead - but I didn't see any that were straight-up regular plain mead. Mead is delicious by itself without anything being added. I got the Horchata one (since that is also something I enjoy). The first sip was good, but the more I drank of it, the more it just tasted fake and flavored, and I did not finish it. Based on that one I wouldn't want to try others. The food menu is very limited. The pizza crust is very thin - more like a crackery flavor - and the pepperoni is only in a circle on the outside? So it's basically a cheese pizza until you get to the crust unless you want to reorganize the toppings yourself. Atmosphere varies - many times I have stopped by and it was standing-room only and very loud, and I left without making it up to the bar. This time I came early enough that I was able to get a seat. It feels very dark after coming in from outside. Staff is friendly. Decor is fun and bee-themed. Restrooms are easily accessible and all-gender. Overall it is a fun place to hang out but the food and drinks didn't do it for me.

You can even try some meads or wine slushies in this 4. I prefer the sweet white wine. There were some very good ones, especially the reisling. My friend prefers reds. There were fewer to pick from. But he did like what he tasted. Service is friendly and prompt. Ambiance - you can sit at the bar or at tables. Lots of wine related items on sale. I liked the woodsy look. There is outdoor seating, but it doesn't face much greenery, or any grapevines. Located in Burt, very close to Lake Ontario. You could make a picnic out of buying a bottle of wine and some cheese and crackers from their "deli" to take with you.

The traditional honey mead had a beautiful, light honey flavor with a little alcoholic kick. I might not drink this straight, but I could think of many ways to blend that beautiful honey flavor into drinks. Then we tried the mead blended into fruit wine. I liked the raspberry blend but blueberry was my favorite. The very clear taste of the fruit was beautiful with the honey notes and you knew it wasn't just a juice drink..the alcohol was there as well. The ciders were a nice surprise taste wise. I'm not a big cider fan, but when I tasted the gold medal winning Strawberry and crisp apple cider it was a win for me. The single fruit choices of all these were selections were wonderful.... sometimes the blending of different fruits leaves to confused tastes for me. Our bartender was very nice and friendly and helpful. It also has a winery Torrey Ridge in the same facility.

They are one of the few wineries that also serve food, so its a great place to grab lunch. The sandwiches we got were amazing (the Brooklyn and the Cuban). I would give the deli and bakery a 5/5.

Our next winery stop was Tabora, nestled along Seneca Lake. We were fortunate to have Keith as our…read moreserver, and he may have been one of the most remarkable people I've met in quite some time. His deep knowledge and passion shone through as he shared the rich history of the winery. The owners originally purchased land in Bucks County for farming but later moved to the Finger Lakes region, where they expanded into winemaking, a bakery, and a deli--a true craft-driven endeavor. Tabora was offering a special deal: buy one tasting flight, get the second free. Normally, I gravitate toward the drier the better, but the Winemaker's Jam caught my eye. My flight included: 1. 2021 Pinot Noir 2. 2021 Cabernet Franc 3. N.V. Heritage Noir 4. 2021 Maréchal Foch I started with the Pinot Noir, a light-bodied wine with aromas of cherry blossoms, strawberries, and dried fruit--absolutely sensational. Keith explained that all of Tabora's wines age in used French oak barrels but never for more than 18 months. Instead of prolonged oak aging, they transition the wine to stainless steel, preserving freshness while imparting just a touch of oak influence. Next up was the Cabernet Franc, which had soft tannins, a light body, and notes of raspberry and green bell pepper, with a slight oak finish--and wow, it was good. Then came my hands-down favorite: the Heritage Noir, a blend of different wines that was dry yet bursting with layered fruit flavors. It was truly an incredible experience on the palate. Finally, I sampled the Maréchal Foch, a sensational, jammy wine with hints of blackberry and pomegranate and a beautifully smooth finish. But Keith wasn't done yet--he had me try a few more, including an unoaked Cabernet Franc, which became another favorite. Aged 100% in stainless steel, it was bright with red fruit, hints of cherry, vanilla, and a touch of chocolate on the finish. Beyond the wines, Keith himself was a standout. As we sipped, he shared his life journey--from New York to Hawaii, a path shaped by his mother and sister. His stories were captivating, and if he ever writes a book, I'd be the first in line to read it. Cheers to Keith and Tabora for an unforgettable experience! #fingerlakes
