Our favorite winery never disappoints! We have not visited the area for several years and were pleased to find our old favorites and some new ones! Melanie was full of information about the family, farm and business history as well as the wines...the Bramble Berry brownies were an added bonus!

My wife and I visited Standing Stone on the last weekend of July 2020. Marissa welcomed us. Wonderful renovation via new owners. We ordered two glasses of cab sav and farm red. Must say the wines were favorable and the scenery outstanding. The server Marissa while busy really took time out to explain the wine and help with our purchases. Really a special experience!

This was one of the places my partner and I stopped at during a weekend visiting Watkins Glen. This is a very small brewery with mostly outdoor seating and no food, unfortunately. My partner really liked the beer selection (especially the IPAs) and ended up buying one of their 32 oz cans to take home. The people there were very friendly. I've read the owners plan to revamp this place and add food, among other things, in the near future. I'd be interested in seeing the new and improved place.
