    Stopped by during my random trip with my boyfriend to Seneca Falls, NY. We had a great time. The man who poured for us during our tasting was extremely friendly and full of really interesting information. I'm not a hardcore wine-lover but I must say these were some of the best wines I've had in a while! We ended up buying three bottles of Viking White and one bottle of Naturel Champagne. They have great deals if you want to buy multiple bottles, we took advantage of the buy two bottles get one free deal. I definitely recommend that you try the Naurel and the celebration blush if you like sweet, bubbly champagne! It's only $2 a person for a tasting of eight wines. Give this place a try!

    Fun atmosphere and a large selection of wines. There is something for everyone here. Large tasting room with several two additional rooms selling wine merchandise. Loved their mascot Doobie the Donkey. Be sure to head out back and take a visit with him. Great views, seems like it would be the perfect place to spend the afternoon during peak season. It was still to chilly to really enjoy the grounds, but would definitely come back with a big group when the temp is right. Specifically on the wines, nothing really stood out to me. Wide variety of wines but nothing we really had to have and take home. Come for the fun atmosphere and enjoy a bottle on the grounds.

    I decided to tour this Winery based on its Yelp Ratings but honestly I am a kinda disappointed. We went there on the Memorial Day weekend on a Sunday and the place was kind of empty. However the guy who conducted our wine tasting session tried to rev up the whole experience and therefore thumbs up to him for that. But we wanted to take a tour of the winery and distillery which was off for that day( for no particular reason!) and we didn't even get a Chance to meet their popular Donkey- Doobie. Nevertheless the wines were good and we picked a stock of it! But if you are looking a true Wineyard Experience with tour n all then look for a better winery..

    One of the biggest places in the Finger Lakes region. I'm surprised I'm the first to review it. There are several large rooms in the tasting building, each with its own tasting bar--and every one of the bars was full of wall to wall people. I visited there in November-not exactly prime time for winery hopping in upstate NY (people must have been loading up for the holidays). And Swedish Hill is a good place to do that. Wines at all price points, and all were good. I snapped up several bottles of their Viking Red...an excellent table red, and NY is not known for reds. At $10 a bottle, it's tempting. They are well known in these parts of New York for their donkey, Doobie, who is about 20 years old. I knew about Doobie, and I'm from Virginia. The twentysomething working the cash register looked at me like I was nuts when I asked where the donkey was. "Dude, is there a donkey here?" (He muttered something to that effect to a co-worker). Doobie resides in a barn outside. But he's got a few wines named after him. This place is worth a stop. You get a lot of bang for your buck. And their sister wineries on the Finger Lakes--Goose Watch and Penguin Bay--are good too (but smaller, which is not a bad thing at all).

    Doobie!

    One of the first wineries we stopped at in the region. We enjoyed their Gewurztraminer and bought a bottle. Definitely recommend stopping.

    Various folks recommended Barnstormer to us during our visit to the Finger Lakes, so while in the…read morearea, we popped in. We did not have a reservation, but easily found ourselves a spot at the bar. It was a pretty rainy and crummy day, but even though a few other couples had the same idea as us to hit a winery to avoid the rain, we did not feel crowded in the space at all. The winery is certainly one of the most well decorated spots we visited. They really lean into the barnstormer and plane vibes, with appropriate decor in every facet of the interior. It was very tastefully done and gave the winery a certain fun and unique vibe. We were seated at the bar for our tasting. The bar was quite large, holding a number of different couples but giving us all adequate space to spread out, have a few glasses in front of us, and not cloud the others' conversations. You could chose from a few different preselected tastings, and I opted for a mixed red and white tasting while my husband opted for the all red tasting. My husband enjoyed all of his, particularly liking the merlot. I enjoyed the whites in my tasting more than the red (I had a weird after taste from one of them which tainted the red experience for me), favoring the chardonnay of all things (I am not a chard gal). We appreciated how our server engaged with us, telling us a bit about each wine but also navigating hte entire bar without lingering too long in one place. She answered our many questions about the wine, being knowledgable but also approachable. We had a great time and enjoyed our wines. Barnstormer was a great rec from our various servers etc while in the Finger Lakes - while the wines themselves may not be at my top, the vibe and service did stand out. That being said, we did take a bottle home with us, so I'm looking forward to enjoying that on a special occasion!
