From wine in test tubes to Candied Apple Slushies made from delicious hard cider, there's something for everyone right here on site. We had a fantastic time chatting with our beer expert at the bar, Matthew. He encouraged us to try a few extra samples of their cider. Try the Cherry Limeade! Unreal! A must visit if you're in the region.

Fantastic vineyard; good wine, great views of the lake, friendly staff. Very accommodating for our son's wedding. The caterers often handle weddings at this vineyard, which is how we ended up here. They did a terrific job; food was superb.

One of the largest wineries in the area, it looks like you can rent the place out for weddings and I heard they have really good dinner as well. We enjoyed our wine tasting!

Ravines Wine Cellars is a boutique winery in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York crafting impeccably balanced, European-style wines with a unique expression of Finger Lakes terroir.
We have visited the Finger Lakes for over a decade now, not always consistently but every few years - one thing that is consistent is our love of Ravines Wine Cellars in Geneva on Lake Seneca (there are two locations this is a review of the one listed in Geneva). What I love most is just the ambiance of it all - a beautifully decorated barn that serves as the tasting room and kitchen, outdoor tents for additional seating, and a designated seating-area if you want to bring a four-legged friend. The tapas-style food pairs perfectly with the wines, and the setting back off the main road feels like you’re truly away from it all and able to just enjoy the amazing wines they craft here. It is also an idyllic place for a vineyard wedding. No matter what part of the Finger Lakes we stay in we ALWAYS make a trip to Ravines, and we always stock up on their amazing wines after our tasting and flights! Tasting reservations HIGHLY recommended if going in 2020 during these Covid times.... but we had no problem getting a reservation just call ahead!

Stop by our winery in Geneva, NY in the beautiful Finger Lakes region to experience our whimsical and eclectic atmosphere housed in a historic 200 year-old barn. Lacey Magruder Winery is a vibrant integration of talents, skills, and backgrounds dedicated to the wine- making process.

We went to several wineries in search of good red wine. This one was the best for their Merlot and Cabernet. And loved the Chardonnay as well (oak and butter..yum). And then there is the location and the owners. Very gracious owners. Beautiful old barn. We wish we had just stayed there and had a picnic. Next time.

The $7/car entrance fee is totally worth it! This is a beautiful area to sit and watch the lake or take a walk or bike ride on their paved path. In addition, they have multiple playgrounds and a sprayground, plus beach access. There are restroom facilities and a concession stand. Plenty of picnic tables and benches around. The sprayground actually has a lifeguard so it will shut down periodically for their breaks (probably 15-20 minutes?). This is a great spot to pack a picnic and let the kids run around while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Bottomless Brewing is located in Fayette, 4 miles from Geneva. We are a farm brewery and serve our beer, local wine, and non-alcoholic beverages. Located on the Finger Lakes wine and beer trail, along the northeastern Seneca Lake, Bottomless Brewing craft beer is brewed on site. Situated in an iconic old dairy barn, these photos show the transition. Come see what we have built and raise a pint with us!
Wow, what a find! This big barn with an amazing view and tons of space inside and out. We sat on the upper deck and watched the sunset over the lake. Definitely a high point of this trip! Great selection of beers. Raspberry wheat was soooo good that we got two crowlers to bring home. The soda bread red ale was super tasty too. Lots of food options-great hummus tray. If we lived nearby, this would be our regular spot!

We enjoyed a wonderful tasting at this winery in a castle overlooking beautiful Seneca Lake. The wines were surprisingly good. The finger lakes wineries have come a long way. The tasting room matched the charm of the castle with a very nice gift shop. We have to give a special shout out to Lori (Laurie?) who went out of her way to give us excellent service and patience while we asked a multitude of questions about each wine we tried. Thanks for making our tasting experience very special Lori!
