Celebrating over 25 years of history, diversity and hospitality. Discover the most rewarding Wine Trail in the Finger Lakes. It was here in 1860 that the first bonded winery was established. It was also here that the first vinifera vines were planted, sparking a renaissance in winemaking. Keuka offers the most diverse group of wineries of any destination in the Finger Lakes. Whether your taste is dry or sweet, fruity or austere, our vintages are sure to please.
As recommended, we bought the Keuka Passports, which were a very good value. We visited 5 of the 7 wineries on the Passport. Our favorites were Hunt Country Vineyards, Vineyard View Winery and Heron Hill Winery. Especially enjoyed the Dry Rieslings. The scenic drive around the lake was lovely. We ate lunch at Heron Hill Winery, with good food and a great view of the lake.

Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard Estate grown wines are established from traditions of excellence and have a nationwide reputation for creating exceptionally lush, crisp and well-balanced wines.
This is one of THE best Riesling vineyards in the region and if you're a wine aficionado you must stop in for the Riesling flight, 4 wines, $10, served at once so you can go back-and-forth, "comparing and contrasting. Knowledgeable attendants will describe the differences in viticulture and leave you to decide your preference. Highly recommended.

The Hunt family has been farming west of Branchport, NY, on Keuka Lake for seven generations and started the winery in 1981. Our 170-acre farm encompasses 43 acres of wine grapes. The varieties under our care include Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Seyval Blanc, and Vignoles. We are the oldest continuous producer of genuine ice wine in the United States. Our wines have been served at the United Nations, ordered by the White House, featured in Food & Wine and on NBC's Today Show. We have nearly eliminated our fossil fuel use for heating, cooling and electricity by installing award-winning geothermal and solar systems. Our goal is to farm and make wine in ways that ensure the health of our land, water, and air for future generations.
Love the wines, especially the reds, beautiful views from porch, friendly and knowledgeable staff. BBQ food offerings just okay this time, but definitely will visit again soon.

For those who like the smaller, out of the mainstream museums, this is one to visit. The museum is housed the birthplace of Robert Ingersoll. It tells life story of Ingersoll, one of the great, but often forgotten orators of the nineteenth century.

Vineyard Views was our first stop on the Keuka Lake wine trail. This was our first time on this trail and in this venue and we were pleasantly surprised. The winery looks new, and offers amazing views of the lake and foliage. Their wines were good as well, and we left with several bottles.

Situated high on Torrey Ridge overlooking one of the deepest parts of Seneca Lake is Fox Run - with fifty-five acres of vineyards producing a remarkable range of fine wines. Behind the winery a vast expanse of vinifera vineyards produce award-winning Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc. Plantings of Lemberger, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Gewurztraminer position Fox Run's future on the cutting edge of the Finger Lakes' wine industry. We welcome you to join us in the tasting room, open year round from 10-6 Monday through Saturday and 11-6 on Sundays. (Closed New Years Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.) And don't forget to mark your calendars for the Annual Glorious Garlic Festival, the first full weekend of August every year!
We had been here years ago and for some reason hadn’t been back. We will now. This winery has a great unoaked Chardonnay which is difficult to come by!

We were staying in Hammondsport and were told to keep our bikes off the Finger Lakes Trail. The Keuka Lake Outlet Trail is the only cycling trail nearby. It offers a variety of surfaces: gravel, rock, dirt and grass. Beautiful scenery and waterfalls along the way. There are more options for food and drink at the Penn Yan end of the trail. We were told the trail was severely flooded a couple years back, causing lots of damage. It has been fairly well cleaned up. For that reason I'm giving the trail four stars instead of three. Hopefully conditions improve even more.

Anthony Road Wine Company is dedicated to producing wines that reflect the soils and climate of the Finger Lakes Region in New York. Our varietals are made from grapes that are grown in vineyards that are owned or managed by the Martini Family. We offer a wide range of wines to please many palates and invite you to come share what we think of as an everyday celebration of life. Relax, stroll through our garden,and have a picnic on our lawn overlooking the panoramic views of Seneca Lake. Enjoy a bottle of wine with family and friends.
Enjoyed visiting Anthony Road for the first time. Beautiful grounds, nice wines, and really nice staff.
We enjoyed our tasting; the staff was very personable and knowledgeable. They have some nice wines-we especially enjoyed the sparkling red which surprised us. It was a refreshing wine on a very warm (and sunny!) afternoon. Brought some home to enjoy later!
The tasting room has a very clean, crisp feel-it's bright and complemented with some cool iron works. There's a nice patio overlooking the vineyard, and a garden area with a grape arbor you can visit to taste some of their grapes. There are also some pretty planting areas filled with butterflies and flowering plants. Really enjoyed the setting, the wines, and the friendly, knowledgeable staff. I now know the difference between ice wine and iced wine, thanks to the young woman who did our tasting.
Recommend a stop here when on Seneca Lake-will return on our next visit.

A Family Style farm Winery that focuses on quality dry to semi-sweet Finger Lakes Wine. Monello Winery prides themselves on top notch service, fabulous wines and a great gift item selection. This Ma and Pops Winery is a "must stop" on the great Seneca Lake Wine Trail.
My husband and I were spent a week on Seneca Lake in early May and stumbled on Monello as we were driving by. To our delight, the owner/winemaker Grace was doing the tastings, which rarely happens at wineries. In addition to the knowledge about her wines, Grace was just a fun and interesting person! We thoroughly enjoyed talking to her as well as the quality and taste of her wines. She does smaller batches and it is clear a lot of time and effort is put in to getting the wine right, which i much prefer over mass-produced, unremarkable wines. She also had beers available from a local brewery, which my husband enjoyed. I highly recommend checking out this winery! This is on our "permanent" list of wineries to visit while in Seneca. Thank you Grace for making our visit so enjoyable and fun!
