Lakewood Vineyards

Very nice wine, fruity and flavorful. They offered to try few varsities of wine. You can have $6 a glass or get a full bottle for $12 to $20. I was amassed that NYS produced wine is so much better than California or Italian wine. I also bought several bottles to go. My favorite was Long Stem. You can get it red or white. There is a nice sitting area with a view down the hill overlooking the wines with a nice breeze. You can walk down the hill where you reach an overlook of the entire lake.

Tour guide was so arrogant and not attentive. Went to other wineries right after and they were much better at serving their guests. This one doesn’t even have a good view. Would definitely not come back again :)

We absolutely loved this winery! Our tasting host was amazing. I’m very sorry that I can’t remember his name, but he was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable about the wines we tasted. He answered our questions, and spent time sharing his recommendations with us. Adorable Australian shepherds roam around outside. There is a great view. We left with several bottles, and I’m excited to visit again during our next trip!

One thing I learned long ago was that wine tastings like waterfalls are all unique and different. As you pull into the vineyard you are assailed by beautiful buildings, flowers, and grape vines.  The buildings are a great gray wood with red roofs. We even spent some time in the flowers. Coming around the side of the building you can see all the grape vines spread out before you, row after row of vines. The tasting has a greeter that directs you to the cashier which then directs you to the tasting. It is a little confusing but to each their own.  The outdoor tasting area is set up for comfort with nice bar stools, they even have an adjustable shade to block the sun from the tasting patio. The tasting is set up for two versions: a sweet or dry flight. This was the first time we had ever seen this type of setup. We of course got the sweet flight which is really only mildly sweet with semi-dry to semi-sweet. After the tasting we got a cold bottle of the Abby Rose and sat at one of the picnic tables to relax (first most not hiking day!). We watched people play with the dogs, who were really enjoying the extra attention. After a glass we walked down the vineyard to the overlook of Seneca Lake. During the walk passing all the vines really drove home how many grapes were planted!
