Thank you for your attention, we hope to return soon.” — Cesli Padilla

6. Cayuga Ridge Estate Winery

• 4 stars (52 reviews)
• Top Review: “The atmosphere of this winery is so different from all the others! It’s in an old hay barn (I didn’t notice any smell, which other reviewers had complained about). The wines are good, but the atmosphere of it really makes it worth the visit. They had a nice selection of dry and semi-dry wines and a couple fruit wines. We usually prefer dry wines, but we ended up with a bottle of their cranberry wine, which wasn’t overly sweet. They also had the only gewurztraminer that we truly liked. We would have liked to eat at their restaurant, but it wasn’t open for the season yet.” — Kathleen “Frankie” Warrell

5. Thirsty Owl Wine Company

The wines were good as well! fantastic service and food (I loved the cheese and homemade jam!). We had a very nice conversation with the staff who helped us with the tasting. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend the vintage tasting experience!: — Yu-Chen Chiu

2. Frontenac Point Vineyard & Estate Winery

• 4.6 stars (46 reviews)
• Top Review: “Location and view is amazing, however you cannot do a tasting on the deck. You have to purchase a glass of wine or a flight to enjoy wine on the deck. Overall the wine was mediocre. We prefer the drier white and red wines that you find in California and Europe and the dry wines here are not on the same level.” — Brian Leonard

1. Bet the Farm Winery

• Top Review: “Great family owned winery. Delicious dry wines. Nice NY cheese selections. Extremely friendly owners with a fun and relaxed atmosphere. We enjoyed our tasting and are taking home some delicious wine and cheese.” — Dave McCandless
