The employees were friendly and checked on us frequently. We did a wine tasting and were impressed with their selection and quality of wines. The tasting also came with a few pieces of cheese and bread too. We also stayed for a glass of wine and lunch (they had a food truck on site), and bought a few bottles to take home. Overall we had a great experience and look forward to coming back one day! Highly recommend!

It felt more like a destination winery, like something you'd find on the north fork of Long Island. It was pretty crowded around 2PM and it felt a little more pretentious than some of the other wineries on the trail, but that was very easy to overlook given how good the wine is and how beautiful the view of the lake is. The one real disappointment was the food. The charcuterie board was honestly pretty bad. It not only looked, but tasted like it sat in the back of the refrigerator. My friends and I all were disappointed and shocked at just how bad it was. We expected a winery with this good of wine to have a charcuterie to match, but were left shocked and disappointed. My friends also ordered sandwiches and they had a similar reaction. Whole not necessarily bad, it was nothing special and didn't seem worth it. If I were rating this solely on the food this wouldn't be a 5 star review, however the quality of wine and the view make up for it. Overall, this should be a must visit on everyone's list.

The portions were large, the food was delicious, and the prices were reasonable too. Our waiter was also attentive. We shared the pickle fries as an app, and I got the chicken cordon bleu sandwich with fries, all amazing. Overall I'd highly recommend for both a tasting and lunch! I'd love to come back here one day.

We were hungry so we ordered the gourmet grilled cheese (to split) with our bottle of 2023 Pinot Gris. we headed outside to enjoy the weather and the view. How excited were we when they brought us not one, but TWO sandwiches. The chef decided to try a variation on the grilled cheese, so we got the original AND a second one and asked us for our opinion when we were done. The sandwich comes on sourdough with 3 (? - I think) cheeses and a garlic aioli. VERY good. The other sandwich was drizzled with rosemary garlic oil, and the bread was sliced thinner. This one was a home run! Delicious! We gave the chef our feedback and he was very happy. You can't beat the wines, food and the view. Definitely put this on your list.

A little disappointing, but for $15.00 I'm not sure what I expected. I also ended up having a wine slushie because it was so hot outside. Overall, I thought the wine was okay, but it's really the setting that makes for the experience. The food was probably the weakest part of our experience. The soft pretzel we ordered was hard. It was stale. That said, it's a nice place to sit down, enjoy the view and have a glass or two of wine. I'd come back for the atmosphere and scenery and would add it to your list of places to visit on the Cayuga wine trail.

From the road sign, the winery appeared aged and abandoned. Upon arrival, we discovered the winery wasn't housed in the barn as expected, but in another part of the property. The interior felt a tad outdated, but the warmth of the staff more than compensated. Our hostess, sweet as candy, shared that many passersby share the misconception about the winery's status. Curious, I inquired about the winery's history, to which she revealed it had been in operation for an impressive 42 years. Astonishingly, it had been around since I was a mere five years old. Despite the initial impression, the wines we sampled were surprisingly delightful, priced at $5 for five tastings. Among them, the Chancellor stood out for me - a wine rarely made well, yet they had mastered it. Ironically, the best Chancellors of our trip were found here and at the nearby Thirsty Owl Wine Company. Overall, it was a charming and unexpectedly delightful experience. I look forward to returning, perhaps when the barn is open, as we plan to revisit this lakeside area. It feels like we have unfinished business, which, in this case, is definitely a good thing!
