9 Wine Bars in Finger Lakes That You Shouldn't Miss

This former Texaco Gas Station was built in 1922. Years later, the service bays were added until the Gas Station closed down in the 1970's. The city of Geneva then acquired the property. In 2003, Sampson Glass, an auto glass repair shop, occupied the building and two years later, in 2005, the Greyhound Bus Station took residence. In 2013, the current owners, Donna and Bob Stivers had the building renovated and created the Lake Street Station Winery. They kept the old Texaco theme, a place where you can still Fill Er' Up, but it's going into glasses, not gas tanks. Lake Street Station Winery opened Memorial Day Weekend 2013 off of Routes 5&20. The winery is walkable from downtown Geneva, as well as the Rose Lummis Tour Boat, Hampton Inn and Ramada Inn. There are always two sides to every story... On one side of our building we have a full cocktail bar, cafe and gift shop with beer and wine making supplies.

With the ability to taste additional wines for $1 Live Music Every Friday & Saturday 6-9pm June-November Outside on Our Patio with A Gorgeous View of Seneca Lake (weather permitting.) How do we make our wine? We partnered up with Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards and 3 Brothers Wineries to help produce our wines with their grapes and facilities with our very own recipes!

The Water Side Wine Bar, in the former Old Mill Liquor building in historic Phelps, NY, is a destination spot for Finger Lakes area wine and beer lovers. The Wine Bar offers a full range of premium wines by the glass, craft and micro brew beers, and gourmet light fare prepared on premises, created by our chef. One of the most unique aspects of the business is its location overlooking the Flint Creek Waterfall. You can relax on the patio and enjoy the vista of the falls or cozy up near the stone fireplace inside.

Rooted in Mendon, NY, 20 Deep is a family-run winery with brewery vibes. While obsessively devoted to craft and integrity, this wine is best enjoyed in the company of family and friends. Stories, camaraderie and good times always encouraged here.
