Horrible place . Rude . In what winery can you NOT buy. a bottle of wine and enjoy their music.? Horrible selections of beer at extraordinary high prices. Do not recommend this winery. Just go right next door for excellent beer (Big Alice Brewery) or right up the road to Fox winery where they will be glad to sell you as much wine as you can drink. read more

The gentleman that greeted us was probably the best out of the entire Seneca lake, wine, and chocolate tour. Kudos for him and the yummy Cocoa, Coffee & Cola Chili. read more

We recently visited White Springs Winery on our first visit to the Fingerlakes. Upon arrival we were the only people in the winery and were very impressed with the COVID safety precautions they had in place. We paid for a wine tasting along with a beer tasting and were then directed to the bar where we would choose our selections. The number of different choices we had for beers and wines was wonderful. After we made our choices we were escorted out to the patio where we could sit and overlook the lake. All the samples we had were delicious and the view was nice and relaxing. We would highly recommend this location for a visit if you are in the area and looking for place with delicious drinks and a great view. read more

They have a food truck outside. Not sure if they have one all of the time. They assumed I was there for beer. It's $5 for 5 tastings. They have beer from different local brewers in the area. We got both wine and beer. The beers that I had were good. Probably my downfall of wine tastings. Do not mix alcohol beer and wine specially if your name is mine. Dionne was incredible. The wine was ok. The row house white was my favorite. read more

This was one of my favorite wineries on our tour. This was our second stop of the day. They just opened and were not busy at all and everyone was super nice, talkative, and knowledgeable. They helped us take our wines outside to enjoy and I just felt so welcomed. Beautiful seating inside and out and the view was nice as well. Wines were very tasty too. I bought 4 different wines. Which is very good for me. They had a large selection and something for everyone. I would love to come back. read more

My group and I almost missed this winery on our recent trek around during the Deck the Halls 2016 event weekend in November... if only because it doesn't look like much from the outside or tend to really grab your attention. Upon walking in, we were pleasantly greeted by a woman who checked us in and gave us our ornament (something you collect when visiting different wineries during the DtH event). The winery is nice and spacious, with two different tasting bars closer to the back of the room. The view from the patio would be delightful on a nicer day. Unfortunately, it was raining and the temperature was dropping at the time of our visit. The staff is helpful and welcoming... but the wines themselves were a bit mostly-miss or outright miss for me. The selection of dry wines seems to be limited, and the couple sweeter, white wines that I sampled didn't really seem to have much nuance to them. I ended up buying the "Mull it Over" wine for some enjoyment during the Christmas holiday season, figuring warming it up in the crockpot and having it accessible during a get together with either family or friends would be an interesting touch. TL;DR Service-minded staff, spacious tasting area, and enjoyable views. Wines are really impressive, but it all depends on preference anyway. read more

Refused us for being 6 people instead of 5. We arrive at open, they have zero customers. We are told they can't serve us "in case" they get busy. I am guessing they aren't cut out for the hospitality business. We even offered to be two separate groups & be patient....that was also a nope. Thanks...we will take our money elsewhere. read more

White Spring Winery was one of my favorite wineries on my Finger Lakes trip! Definitely the best tasting deal! They also had beer flights as well! They have a really nice outdoor patio that overlooks the lake. The view is absolutely stunning! This was actually the last winery that we visited on our trip, and it was definitely the perfect way to wrap up a winery weekend! If you're in the area, definitely stop at White Spring Winery! read more

Stopped in last night for a wine and beer tasting, all the employees were very friendly and outgoing! Our favorite wine was the blush and we really enjoyed a few of the beers they had. Such a nice view from the patio outside too. Coming to Seneca Lake for years and kept missing this one, we won't miss it again! read more

We had a fantastic time here! This was the first stop on our wine tour and it really had the variety we wanted for us to try a bunch of different wines... plus the vodka was great! read more

This winery tasting room is very spacious, overlooking Seneca lake on the main parkway. When you first walk in, there is a store, with random wine accessories, shirts, etc. When you walk towards the back there are two sets of luxurious tasting bars. Tastings were $5 for 5 wines. You could try the dry wine list, or the sweets. The sweet wines you can skim through and mark the ones with a white board marker that you are interested in tasting, after reading their detailed descriptions. The drys are more limited, but a lot tastier. The view is gorgeous, and they have a patio for big groups to enjoy. They also have beers in the back for the non-wine lovers too. read more

I will start by saying I understand all of the restrictions having to do with COVID. I am a firm believer in being safe. That said, White Springs Winery in no way has a LOGICAL way of running their business during COVID. Let me paint the picture. My fiancé and I we're driving around Seneca Lake doing wine tastings. When we arrived, we were greeted by a young man with an unkempt beard who seemed less than enthused to be there. He asked us where we were from, and when we told him, he told us that due to the owner's discretion, we weren't able to be served wine because of the county we lived in, Chemung. I would have been ok with that. That's cool. No business from Chemung County residents at all. No worries... BUT after stating he can't serve us wine, he offered for us to stay and browse their gift shop. Is that serious? They are choosing to not serve people from certain counties, but will allow them to stay inside and shop in their gift shop?! The fact that they'll refuse me a wine tasting, but allow me to roam the gift shop is a terrible business model for a winery. read more

White Springs - what a great place! I'm so glad I tried it. If it weren't for the lady at Belhurst running out of weekday passes, my boyfriend and I would never have tried this winery. It's 100% worth a visit, they really have some amazing wines to taste and it's right by Belhurst Castle (it seems they work together, which is great!). Tastings are $4 to try any variety of 6 wines they have. They are part of the weekday passport which allows visitors with the pass to get a free tasting. My favorite wine was Serendipity - it's a white wine which offers such a surprising journey for your palate. I had to get a bottle to bring home! Another favorite is the Mull it Over! Kind of like a winter spiced cider in wine form. You can drink it room temperature, but you can also heat it and it really is great for keeping warm on a wintry day. Thanks so much for tasty experience! read more

White Springs Winery - Our favorites - Mull it Over and Serendipity! - Wineries Near Me - Geneva, New York

White Springs took our large group of 35 on a Monday afternoon around 3:15, which I have been told is quite late in the day for a tasting so for that I am appreciative. With that being said, every single person in our large group was treated like we were a nuisance, just hear to chug wine and get on the way. The woman who was doing our "tasting" if could even call it that, rushed through the entire process as if we were a huge bother and her lack of consideration for us was so palpable I ended up looking up from my glass at the others in the group to see if they were as appalled as I was. First things first, when I entered, I was approached by the woman I had been speaking to on the phone about arranging the visit and she was a sweetheart and definitely happy to have us. (She was not the woman doing our wine tasting.) She told me that I had to go around and take a count of who wanted wine and who wanted beer and that was a pain in the rear let me tell you. We had 35 people with us and they were scattered about. They wanted to get going with the tastings and here I am walking around with a little piece of paper making tallies. After doing the dirty work I had to approach the register, pay the amount and then go back around the room and disperse tickets. It took up at least 20 minutes and there could have been a much more efficient way of operating. Anyways, the majority of us chose wine so we arranged ourselves around the bar and the woman went around with either a dry or sweet option. She did not offer ANY explanation of what she was pouring. She did not discuss ANY tasting notes, she hardly knew what she was pouring us. It was dry or sweet and getting us out and moving to our next location and that was all she cared about. She was impatient and not open to having questions asked and it really put a damper on the experience. I should have gone the beer route for this place because after our 30 second wine tasting I headed into the beer area and those who chose to do a beer tasting seemed to be enjoying themselves. A few of us decided to get a glass and mingle after the very brief and rushed tasting. I half enjoyed one of the dry reds so I got a glass of that. I think that we were perceived as kids and that really really bothers me. We are all adults, we are all of legal drinking age and we are all responsible professionals. I find it insulting that we were not given the time and attention that we paid for. It was disappointing and for me, someone who loves wines, loves learning about the wine making process, I left with no knowledge of this winery or anything about their process or history so I will likely not be back. read more

Did not even try to serve us because we pulled in with another party. Even though we Said party of 4 and they don't serve if they think you're over 4. read more

We have been there a few times and we believed this winery was nice and worthy of return trips. However the last time we went there a couple of weeks ago, we presented a coupon for a free tasting that we cut out from a tourism pamphlet. When we presented the coupon, the person behind the bar rudely said she did not recognize the coupon and just about accused my wife and I of presenting a fake coupon, which it was not! The server was very rude. Last time we will go to White Springs. read more

I was planning a girls getaway for 7 of us. I emailed about reservations and was very unhappy that it took nearly 10 email exchanges and a laundry list of things that they needed to know before we got there. I then had to fill out a contract and send it back or my reservation would be cancelled. I was so annoyed with the process that we nearly didn't visit their winery. We showed up about an hour early and asked if we could get in, which he was very accommodating. There was no one in there. I then asked if we could use one of the tasting fees toward a purchase as one of our girls went home early. He said no. At least he let my friend try beer and wine then and we didn't lose the fee completely, he wasn't too happy about it though. The woman that did my wine tastings was not knowledgeable or helpful AT ALL and I couldn't even hear her. I asked several times for her to speak up. All I could smell was smoke, it was disgusting. My friends enjoyed the beer quite a bit so all was not lost. All in all, we won't be revisiting this winery on our annual wine trips. read more

Average wine. Average beer. Come for the view and the space. You won't be blown away, but you'll have a decent time.

Very nice place. Boyfriend and I enjoyed both the wine and the beer! Bartender was very knowledgeable, but unassuming. Would definitely stop back in. read more

Lacks class and elegance in all categories. I've never experienced disorganized wine tasting with poor customer service like this. Fun enough because I brought a large party with me. I think my expectations are too high to expect the type of service I receive in Napa Valley. Still, I prefer feeling taken care of and paid attention to. A great spot to taste and buy IF you're on a budget, which I'm not. The pourers weren't particularly great with people and I don't like hearing an employee complain about customers to another employee. And they shouldn't talk about when they get to go home as part of my wine tasting experience. I don't care when you go home. If you're open for another hour - which u were - you're good. Just hush up and keep pouring. read more

My wife and I were visiting eight wineries on the northern end of Seneca Lake. This winery we visited on the second day. We loved this place. All the white wines that we tasted were excellent. We ended up buying five bottles of wine of all different types here. We also bought their five glass holder to display our wine glasses. We will be back next year. read more

My mom and I did a self-guided wine tour around Seneca Lake. I just researched the different wineries and chose several that looked good and we went from there. We aren't wine experts to any degree. We recently started visiting local wineries and thought a trip to the Finger Lakes would be fun. White Springs was our second stop. The tasting room is very open and the wines are organized in a very user-friendly fashion. We were able to get samples of the wines we were interested in at no charge, but I left a tip at the bar. We had our dog with us and he was greeted very warmly and offered treats. Service was friendly, and the wines were good, but for some reason I wasn't overly impressed. read more

We arrived at White Springs Winery last Sunday afternoon around 4pm The service was awful. We did a $5 wine tasting. Our server (Bill B. - name on my receipt) was rude and did not pay any attention to us. He couldn't keep track of what wines we had tasted. He seemed like he was in a hurry to leave. We visited several other wineries on Seneca Lake and never felt as unwelcome as we did here. I did not buy any wine at White Springs for these reasons. Here's a tip, if you want to sell wine you need to be friendly and interested in your customers. read more

Love this place - very spacious. The wines were great, the beer was good but the rootbeer that they make onsite was PHENOMENAL! Anna manned the bar/tasting area and is by far the perfect person to make your day complete. MUST GO! read more

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Good selection of wines. Also good root beer that you can purchase in in a growler or bring your own growler. Gift shop is fabulous. Lots of wine related novelties alone with dog-themed items & a variety of other things you don't usually find in other tourist spots. A definite must-see. read more

Just as good as the last time we were there. Wine is decent and the place is well kept. Even had a duo guitar player the day we were there. We like reds, so the other side of seneca lake we would say has better reds than the western side, but always nice to experiment and try new things. read more

Not impressed. I was asked for my ID when I was clearly with an event they participated in. I'm 52 years old. Seriously? I had the wrist band. Also nasty service. Will not go back there again, unless they get smarter employees. read more

Wines tasted like $5 table wine. One of the employees was extremely rude - refused to acknowledge us as we waited for our tasting -- and there was only one other couple there. Otherwise, the place was empty and now I know why. Do yourself a favor and skip this one. There are too many amazing options in the Finger Lakes to waste your time on this one. read more

Our first stop on our wine tasting tour and although I only liked one of the wines I tasted, the staff was very attentive and super fun so they get three stars for that. Maybe I have to come back and try the dry tasting or their beer tasting to find something else but since it's so far away I don't see that happening any time soon. read more

Very good wines for "not california US wines". But.... A MUST TRY is the Sun Harvest Chardonnay. Absolutely delicious. Sweet chardonnay. Also have a brewery and root beer on site as well. Very cool. read more

The last stop of our afternoon wine tour. The guys enjoyed a beer tasting while the ladies sampled wine. The beer was ok. The cider and pilsner were good. The wines were good also. The best part about our trip was Hudson, the biggest dog ever! An employee gave us each milk bones to give him! He's one lucky puppy! read more

We were a group of 13 for my birthday and Colby was great! Very memorable and wine was good. Skip Belhurst and go right to this one!

My boyfriend and I stopped here while following the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. It was a Sunday afternoon and it is located across the street from the lake, up on a small hill. It was a smaller venue but had a nice gift shop with many gift items. We were greeted by a friendly man at the bar who asked if we would like to do some tasting. We got 5 tastings for 5$, which is pretty standard. The wine we tried we all good, however many of them were very sweet, which isn't a problem if you are a fan of sweet wine. We then took a full glass outside to listen to the love music going on. All in all it was a nice experience and we would stop by again if we were in the area. read more

Was not impressed there was no customer service. 5he lady was not personable. The wines were not that good. However I would go back to try the root beer but that lost didn't appear to be open. I would not go back to this one plenty of other wineries in the area. Though the view is very nice but don't waste your time on this one read more

My husband and I had a fantastic experience at this winery. Carol helped us with our tasting. She was so friendly and knowledgable. She even offered ideas for us to do on a rainy day as it was scheduled to rain later in our trip! We also really enjoyed the wine we tried here. The tasting room was beautiful and we were very happy with our visit! read more

Worst customer service ever! We were completely ignored while people on both sides of us were greeted. When we finally started tasting the person helping us gave 1 tasting and left us. When we finally got someone's attention she apologized and stayed to help us. Didn't get her name but she was a new employee read more

It was awkwardly quiet here, everyone at the wineries around here are sort of awkward it seems. Anyway, after our near silent visit, we brought home a bottle of their Row House Red Table Wine and white Serendipity which were both easy-drinking table wines. read more

Worst service of any of the wineries we tried in the area. Very unfriendly staff. Wine was sub par and beer selection lacking. Live music and outdoor patio were the only things that made it bearable. Would not recommend. read more

Nice winery with a nice view of Seneca Lake. Everyone is very friendly. My favorites are the Sangrias and the Mulled Red Wine. They also have great outdoor seating. You can come here for cider too. Nice winery. read more
