This winery was fantastic. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The owners daughter helped our group of six and she was incredible. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. read more

Silver Springs Winery was such a trip in the best way possible. Total hippy vibes, tie-dye everywhere, and some of the most unexpectedly deep convos with the artsy owner and his anime-loving daughter. Also: incredible views of the vineyard through their open back area. All the wines are dangerously drinkable. Super fruit-forward, super sweet, and tasted almost exactly like juice - until you remember they're rocking a sneaky 14%. Proceed with caution (or not). Definitely one of the more memorable and quirky stops we made. Come for the wine, stay for the stories and energy. read more

Love the theme, but we felt rushed through the tasting. The wines were a touch too sweet for me as well.

Friendly staff and owner. Very hippie playful vibe. Wines were more on the "fun side" rather than serious. If you like fruity sweet wines, this is the place. Definitely stop by for a tasting. More like 3.5 stars. read more

Love the wine hate the service. The girl working when we walked in 40 minutes prior to closing was complaining, rude and accusatory with our group. Lectured one of our members about how they choose to train their dog, and then because our group members were enjoying our time and excited to be on this trip accused everyone of being drunk and repeated multiple times about how she'd be in trouble with her daddy if she over served. NO ONE had overindulged. Complaints about how she had to still clean the bathroom and that it was 515 when they close at 530. Ruined the experience and lost business because no one felt comfortable to purchase. I will say the male bartender was excellent and tried to compensate for her attitude. read more

I will start off that I love the revamp of the winery. We have been to the finger lakes 1/2 dozen of times and this sign caught my eye. The original sign is plain. I do not know if the same family have originally always owned it or if it was purchased by another family. Our first visit to Silver Springs Winery--despite it being here for 20 years--was long overdue. This is probably our sixth Finger Lakes tour in the past seven years, yet somehow, we never stopped here before. Silver Springs is truly a hidden gem. Jack was our guide through the wines, and he was fantastic. He simply asked what we liked and, if we let him, he would choose our wines for us. I told him I typically lean toward dry reds but often end up with whites since the region isn't known for its reds. He agreed but mentioned that some of their red wines are grown at their vineyards in Long Island, New York. He started me off with the Dry Italian Rosé, a blend of multiple wines, including Malbec. It had a European-style lightness--crisp with red berries up front and just 0.5% residual sugar. Next was the Cabernet Franc, which had jammy fruit-forward notes at 0.3% residual sugar. The Malbec followed, treated in a more traditional French style--light with minimal oak influence, featuring flavors of raspberries, lavender, and vanilla with a smooth finish. The Cabernet Sauvignon came next, leading with red fruit notes like raspberry and cranberry, followed by a vanilla-almond finish, which was quite nice. Then came the Tri Dition Italy, a blend with 52% Merlot aged six months in used cognac barrels. At 0.3% residual sugar, it offered blueberry, jammy dark chocolate, and raspberry flavors--a bold and well-balanced wine. My absolute favorite was the Tri Dition Zion, a 55% Malbec blend bursting with cherries, blueberries, and raspberries, finished with vanilla. It was sensational. Another standout was the Riesling Exodus, which @winecraft had tried and highly recommended. It's said to be the only Red Riesling in the United States. This unique wine had a pink rosé color with notes of tart cherries, cinnamon, and clove--on the semi-sweet side but incredibly delicious. Jack was outstanding in guiding us through the wines. We enjoyed a glass of our favorites on-site and took some bottles home. Jack also provided excellent recommendations for places to eat and other wineries to visit. read more

Wonderful staff and owners and the wines are amazing ! We will be coming back . They were so accommodating to our group of 12!

Delicious sweet wines, best of the best. Linda was very insightful during our tasting. Went in for a tasting, walked out with a case. Highly recommend. read more

The pizza is delicious with a light crust sultry tomatoes and fresh garlic cloves. Add the herbed olive oil you won't regret it. The wine was some of our favorites picking the Rose and Pinot Grigio to go. read more

This is a great winery to experience. We originally picked it solely on the fact that it was within 10 minutes of where we were at the time and that it was open later than others in the area. It was such a great choice. We LOVE sweet wines and every wine we tried was superb. The staff were very knowledgeable and so so friendly. Jack and Kimmie made us feel very welcome. We will definitely return if we come back to the area. read more

I live in Sonoma County, in the heart of California's wine country. We were in the Finger Lakes for a few days and wanted to do some wine tasting. The wine industry here in CA is a big, often serious business. We have tasted many Finger Lakes wines and while good, they don't measure up to the wines in our part of the world. No, I'm not a wine snob...I'm honestly not. I decided to bring our family here because of the great reviews. When I walked in, I really wasn't expecting much. The hippy vibe was actually cool, but for a winery? Let's see ... Between our family, we actually tried the whole assortment of wines offered. My youngest daughter enjoys sweet wines, my eldest somewhere in between, while my wife and I lean toward the "adult" wines, so we did the tasted the remainder. I wish I got our servers name, he was outstanding at his job. Funny, entertaining and he had a vast knowledge of the wines served and winery in general. I was utterly shocked how good these wines were. Many were on par of what we are used to here in Sonoma County. My wife and I have different palate's when it comes to wine, but we were both in consensus about how good these wines were. I thoroughly enjoyed the Pinot Noir, Bold Merlot, Tri Dition Italy & Zion, and a couple of the whites. I wish I could have brought several bottles home. This is one of those cases, where you don't judge a book by it's cover. Whimsically labeled bottles, tapestries, funny signs...then it gets serious when the wine comes out. Best tasting, by far, for our recent visit to the Finger Lakes. If you're in the region and searching for somewhere to taste, look no further than Silver Springs. It won't disappoint. read more

Saw this place while driving along able decided to stop. Glad we did! Excellent wines, fun decor, and very excellent service with Kimmie, who was friendly and very knowledgeable! read more

Everyone is very nice. The owner let us taste any wine we want prior to purchasing bottles and they were all delicious! I would recommend stopping by if you are around Seneca Lake. read more

Very mediocre wines with a lot of recognizable mistakes of the winemaker for over $30 per bottle, too much owners attitude, who calls "saignée" rose "cheating". Not worth your time if you know wines and you're not hippy. read more

You should absolutely visit this winery! We stopped here after we spent a few hours at Watkins glen and I'm so glad we did! It's a quick 5 minute drive so really easy to get to from there. The inside is beautiful. We did a wine tasting with Nick and he was so friendly and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed talking to him. I love sweet wines and I can't believe there were 8 different wines that I actually loved. My bf got a tasting of dry wines and he loved them. The tastings were $10 to try 6 wines. The owner was also there and was recalibrating their pizza oven that has been down so he gave us a pizza on the house to make sure it was working well. It was so good! We ended up each getting a glass with our pizza and taking two bottles of wine home (peach paradise and sweet Italian red). I can't wait to drink them. Definitely visit this place! So so good. read more

We visit this place yearly and make a beeline for Silver Springs Winery. The owner, his family and the servers are super friendly. The wine is fabulous. We've opened bottles of their fruit wines after two years that taste as good as the day we bought it. The tasting area is very nice and there is plenty of room for a group. We got to enjoy some freshly made pizza that had high quality ingredients. The owner made the pizza and it was fun to watch. We lucked out this year and got to chat with the owner. Some years we miss him but we enjoy our visit anyway! My favorite winery by far. See you next year. read more

We had a fantastic experience at our wine tasting yesterday. Kimmie was so much fun and knowledgeable of all their wines. We have gone to many Finger Lakes wineries over the years, and this was by far our favorite The wine is absolutely delicious. Even though we were at the end of our trip, we bought 4 bottles to enjoy before our flight home to Colorado. We will be back on our next trip to Upstate NY. read more

Stopped by our first day in the Finger Lakes. The service was great, waited on by the owner's daughter. The bold merlot and pinot grigio were both very nice. It was a great start to our anniversary trip. read more

I've stopped here on two separate occasions and it's been okay both times. What's strange is that you have to do the tasting at the bar. So in order for my husband and I to share one, we had to take turns sitting at our table with our daughter while one person went to the bar for the tasting. The staff were friendly and they're open an hour later than most wineries so there are some pros. But the bottles are quite pricey compared to other wineries so we didn't choose to purchase any to take with us. read more

I visited here in October with my fiance, as we were on a little mini vaca in the Fingerlakes. My fiance had never been to a wine tasting before, so we decided to go to this one and were honestly so impressed by the whole experience. The employee was SO knowledgeable about the wines- I mean he knew EVERYTHING. He was just spouting out all these cool facts while we just sat there in awe of him sipping on DELICIOUS wine. We also got snacks... including string cheese, which we loved. I adore the vibes in this place. A lot of wineries kind of have an unintentional "stuck-up vibe" (or maybe it's intentional?) but NOT this one. Tie-dye & Bob Marley everywhere- we just loved that. The music was chill and just the whole vibe was so unique for a winery. The wine was absolutely incredible. $200 some dollars later and I'm stocked up for a while. Looking forward to coming back here again one day! read more

Super chill place inside with great service. Loved it here! Definitely needs to stop here while exploring wineries along Seneca.

Ok, so do not let the tye dye car or the stoner decor deter you- this, by far, has the best reds that we have tried along Seneca lake. We have done the top commercialized options, but I'm a believer in reviews- and someone spoke highly of here, and I'm glad I read that- as all I could say was this blew my mind. Full body, levels of flavor- very good red wines. So happy we made a stop! Bonus, no reservations required which is nice as it's hard to plan reservation to reservation with travel. Thank you so much Sam, you were a great host! read more

Peace, love and a trip back to the 70s. This is winery is a little more hippy dippy than the others along Seneca lake. The service was fantastic. I love that the staff chat with you to curate your own unique wine list. I usually keep it safe if I select my own wines for tastings so it was great to have the staff pull me out of my comfort zone. I hate Chardonnays. I told the staff that. She still brought me the Chardonnay and it was amazing! Made in steel instead of oak. Absolutely amazing! The other wines were great too. Definitely a spot to stop again. read more

Of all the wineries we visited on Seneca Lake this one I would say was the least aesthetically pleasing. But that is where my complaints will end. We showed up about an hour from their closing and not sure if this was a place we wanted to go. The guy who served us was so knowledgeable and really enjoyed describing all the notes that you can find in their wines. His passion alone made this winery worth visiting because his passion and excitement rubs off on you. I don't want to discount the wines either, all the wines we tasted were great. I stuck to the whites and my wife had the reds which she raved about. The only downside is their wines are a little pricey than the other wineries around but sometimes it's nice to splurge on a bottle of wine! We will be back next time we are in the area. read more

Loved the One Love vibe here and the wine was excellent. Sarah was super helpful and explained the wines and how the different flavors occur. We shared a bit of what we like and she chose the wines we tasted and was spot on. Super helpful sharing other happenings nearby we might enjoy. Overall a really lovely time. Thanks Sarah!! read more

We visited Silver Springs Winery with family and had a nice time. Fun atmosphere! The staff are above and beyond helpful!

Made this our first stop for our weekend and it was nice. We were the first group and the worker was very nice. He works there with different family members which is super cool. He introduced each wine very well. We were offered pretzels or cheese. They even had a bottle called One Love that donates to elephants! It's very yummy and just the perfect amount of sweet. I love sweet wines. Would come back again read more

We had a really good experience here. Masks and distancing was enforced. The staff were all really kind and knowledgeable. All of the wines we tried were really great.

Some of the best big and bold red wines we've had in the area. Friendly atmosphere we couldn't have felt more welcome wonderful people and I love the tie-dye T-shirts. The pizza was to die for homemade crust, fresh ingredients thin and crispy with wine in the dough. read more

We just stopped by at 3:30 on a Tuesday for a tasting. Unfortunately, they were closed and two people came out shortly after we pulled in and they angrily told us that they are closed and we need to vacate. I'm not sure what their deal was, but they were very unfriendly. read more

Fun little place on the east side of the lake. We were serviced by the owner's daughter and she was friendly and easy to talk to. The wines we tasted were all very sweet and some were sour (imagine sour patch kids in wine form). If you like sweet wines and funky decor, you may enjoy it. read more

excellent service, even better wine, i would definitely go back again. They are very knowledgeable about every wine

Silver Springs winery was one of my favorite stops while up at Seneca Lake!! The best reds you can find up at the Finger Lakes!! All of the employees were so knowledgable, and so personable! Shout out to Alix, who was so friendly from the start and catered to us perfectly. HIGHLY recommend Silver Springs!!! read more

My dad and I stopped on our way back home from hiking in Watkins Glen. I picked it because of all the positive reviews and the description sounded intriguing. From the outside, the building looks like a cute log cabin, but when you step inside, it felt like I went through a time warp. The interior had a hippie vibe with tie dye, tapestries and peace signs. For Covid, they took every precaution to keep everyone safe. Tastings were spread out throughout the large room and hand sanitizer was offered several times. We felt very welcome and loved Kimmie! She was awesome - super friendly, fun and very knowledgeable about her wines. I also loved hearing about how she made wine with her dad. I will definitely be back. We tried six reds and enjoyed all of them but the Cabernet Sauvignon was our favorite, especially my dad. It was the perfect end to a lovely day trip. read more

Went for a spontaneous motorcycle ride and ended up at Silver Springs Winery--again! Although the atmosphere is quite peaceful, when it comes to wine they are all business. I'm a fan of the drier reds and whites and I must say this winery has some of the best tasting wines on Lake Seneca. You must try the Cab Franc! The staff is extremely chill and friendly, yet instantly accommodative to your needs. Kimmie is the best!! Normally I stop by here with my daughter on the way back from NYC; this time I was solo. My daughter was quite disappointed she couldn't join me this trip as Silver Springs is her favorite winery too. I look forward to sharing a bottle of the Cab Franc with her this weekend. Seriously though, if you are in the Finger Lakes region and don't stop here you are doing yourself a disservice... read more

They are dog friendly which I loved. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Love the vibe of the place, some wineries can come across a bit snobby and this place was down to earth and classy. Definitely recommend! read more

We had a very pleasant tasting of red wine here. Our host was Nick was very helpful and knowledgeable about wine. He honed in on our preferred flavor profiles so we tried their tasty red blends instead of Riesling wine which tends to predominate in this region. We highly recommend! read more

Great service from the staff at the winery - they were incredibly gracious and friendly to visitors. They provided pizza crust chips with their wine tasting. The wine was a little too sweet for me, but others in the group enjoyed the reds. There was a pizza oven that crafted made-to-order fresh pizzas, we didn't have enough time to enjoy but would definitely return for some pizza. I would recommend to stop here mid tour and put in your pizza order before you start your tasting. The winery is tie-dye theme and something different than the every day winery in the finger lakes. read more
