We were among the first to go on a tour (back in the school bus days) so much has changed.. Deer are being well cared for.. lots to see.. As are the beaver and eagles. Loved the new info shared by the guide .. history gathered from other visitors which enhance the experience.. our 20 yr old sons were amazed by the military history as well as the preserved nature.. an interesting combination for all.

Out of the multiple places that we visited on the Cayuga Wine Trail this place was BY FAR our Favorite. It was $10 for 6 samples & cheese. The owner and our host were both amazing ~ they didn't mind our humor and they gave it right back to us. We had a DD if we needed her and the owner came over gave her, her own snacks and sparkling wine (age18) ~ No other place even acknowledge her!!! It really made her day as well as the rest of ours ~ well done! And the wine between 3 of us we tried 18 wines and EVERY single wine was GREAT ~ you can easily go home with a case or two ~ we didn't stop at one case! AMAZING PLACE WELL DONE!!!

This was one of our favorite wineries in Cayuga Lake. The location is beautiful and they bring you the wines to taste with a view to the lake. There is no great explanation about the wines, unfortunately. But our experience was excellent. We took our time with the tasting and the wines were delicious. Bought three bottles.

Varick Winery & Vineyard

Reviewed By Wendyjo555 - Boca Raton, United States

This was our favorite winery! It is set up on a hill with lots of picnic tables and tends to socially distance. You go up and order the flight of wine that you would like and each set of flights comes with a sampling of either a jam or a butter as well as some bagel crisps. The general store is filled with lots of goodies and we tried the boozy balls which were delicious and a great dessert after our wine tasting. I would like it if the jams and butters would come in smaller containers to purchase because I would’ve purchased a number of smaller containers of different ones.

This was my favorite winery on either Seneca lake or Cayuga Lake. Welcoming people. They have thee separate tasting rooms so if there is a large group they can have their own room and not crowd you! We loved most of their wine and this was the only vineyard we ended up buying and shipping home a crate of win! It was waiting for us by the time we got home from our trip..It was shipped quickly and packaged well. Reasonable prices.
