The most incredible (and only) speakeasy in the Finger Lakes…read more After hours of driving, we knew we needed a cool spot to go to at night for some delicious wine. Of course, the Finger Lakes are KNOWN for wine so we're just thinking we're making reservations for a wine bar (with "speakeasy" vibes). Which that would've been totally cool with us. After continuous back and forth, changing our reservations 50 million times, adding and taking people out, we finally made it to Vinifera on a Friday night and were super apologetic since we had to make yet another change. The staff was absolutely incredible and accommodating, they made sure our party of 10 would be in the same room/table. The only "downfall" was that we'd have to share the room with another small party. Which was absolutely not a problem and we ended up being BFF'S with them by the end of the night. We met the owner Jim - the most incredible human - and he took us down to the speakeasy (which passes right through a super secretive door in the back of the main room upstairs). Side note - the main room upstairs is a vibe on it's own btw and we would've been absolutely fine and happy there. It's an actual wine store and you can purchase all kind of local wines. Be sure to ask and get all the recommendations you want. Not only did we get to enjoy an incredible time but we got a super cool VIP experience and learned the story and so much history about this place, the concept, the origin and what sparked the idea of creating it. That itself, was a treat. On to the actual speakeasy experience. When you go downstairs (through that fun super cool super secretive door) - you're instantly transported to another era, another time. It's dark, it's velvety, chandeliers, spiderwebs (the aesthetic kind, idk if there were actually any but it fit the vibe in my head), Leonardo Da Vinci, Mona Lisa, candles, curtains. There are two super cool rooms, one to the right (which is where our large party sat at) and one to the left - totally recommended for smaller groups, it's cozy, it's chill, you can interact and share with other guests too. Just by this, I'm wowed. As if this wasn't enough, the drinks were absolutely incredible. I ended up ordering some kind of a smoked drink and they happily substituted the regular old fashioned for mezcal. What a dream. Everyone was happy with their drink orders, some ordered some off the menu things and they happily made them - even though they technically only serve what's on the menu. Wine flights are also available if you're in the wine vibe. Bottom line: we loved this place SO much, we came back 2 night's later for our last night. We sat in the other room and absolutely loved and enjoyed it. I had a lavender drink and it was delish. This place is a GEM and you should absolutely check it out and support it if you're in the area. If you're not, well now you have a place I know you'll love to go to!

They had a really cool selection of unique food and drinks - it was hard to choose! I got a glass of local Cab Sauv, and my partner and I split the Spalla, Zucchini Salad, and the Deep Fried Quail. The spalla was like a less fatty prosciutto - not quite as flavorful, but nice texture. The zucchini salad was a really fun blend of flavors - a nice crunchiness from the almonds, a zestyness from the gochujang romanesco sauce, and a savoriness from the Bulgarian feta. The decided favorite though was the deep fried quail, with its perfect outer crust and yummy sauce.

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.

Looks like they make the food the day prior and refrigerate it. It's not made to order or even the day of (which it's very simple food and only takes a minute or so to prepare, so i don't get why). There is a "packed date" on the container when you get your food. (Can't say if this is true for the pretzel though, but definitely applies to the other 3 snack items). Would definitely not recommend this cafe to anyone unless they're absolutely starving. Eat before/after you visit here. Turkey BLT wrap 5/10 Mayo comes on the side so it doesn't get soggy. Smart. Wrap was very skimpy. There was maybe 1 or 2 slices of lunch meat turkey in it, and a slice of bacon. See photo. Not worth the price at all. Pasta salad 4/10 SUPER DRY. Was like eating plain wet noodles. Probably because it sat overnight. Needs more dressing for sure. The combination of ingredients were good together though. See photo. Iced latte with caramel 5/10 Couldn't even taste the caramel. Plenty of milk, but it was just poured in.. Not even frothed like a latte usually is. It was just like drinking a plain flavorless iced coffee. Sugar is separate to add yourself, which I did not know until half of my drink was gone. Suggestions for improvement: Fresh is best! Prepare and cook meal items to order/day of.

We each had a drink and I believe we split steamed dumplings and all was good on that trip. In fact, we were elated to find the place because it had a good vibe and seemed nice and we decided we would return in nicer weather. We returned the last weekend of May and stayed inside this visit also. The place was empty when we arrived. We sat against the glass wall facing the water. My wife noticed that a bunch of tables were dirty as were the windows. They are very large windows to enjoy the waterway but when mixed with the dirty tables, it causes one to wonder. We ordered drinks and food. The drinks were excellent. I ordered the pork dumplings and empenadas and my wife got the special which was a smoked turkey hoagey. The dumplings were excellent once again. The empenadas were tasty but seriously light on filling. And her turkey sandwich was terrible. She asked for it deconstructed because she didnt want the hoagy roll. She ate most of the insides of it but couldnt get through the turkey. I generally serve as her garbage disposal and if she doesnt finish something, she pawns it off on me. I can eat just about anything but this was not chewable. I am not sure what to call it. It tasted delicious, as smoked turkey does, but the gristle/ fat or whatever it was, couldnt get chewed enough to even try to swallow it. It had to be a 1 to 1.5 oz clump of unchewable stuff (for lack of a proper term). So needless to say, we wont be back. Bottom line, drinks were excellent, some food was good, some borderline worth the cost and some terrible. To us, it was a waste of $100+ with tip
