While on a weekend away in the finger lakes my husband and I visited Lamoreaux. We had a great time- Laurie helped us and she was really nice and helpful. She showed us the difference between some of their Rieslings, which was really cool. Sh also didn'tt rush us which was a nice change from a few others we visited over the weekend. Great wine and a great staff- definitely worth a visit!

I have been to the Finger Lakes wine region many times. Mostly in the Summer months but going in the Fall was also great with the beautiful upstate NY foliage.
In the past I wasn’t a big fan of NYS wines. They have come a long way, and some are outstanding. Ice wine from this region is some of the best I’ve ever had. If you’re not familiar with Ice Wine, the grapes are picked very late after having been frozen from the weather. Not artificially. That is how it gets it’s sweetness. It’s like dessert in a glsss! It’s very concentrated with a high alcohol volume. Don’t drink too muc of this! At least that is my understanding from some of the many winery tours I’ve been on.
If you like to partake in the tastings, I would definitely either have a DD or limo (always a blast)! There are so many wineries in the Finger Lakes that you need several visits to try them all. I live less than an hour away from many of the wineries, yet have still never been to all.
It’s a very fun weekend getaway. I highly recommend visiting if you enjoy wine and beautiful scenery.

Wonderful wine tasting and personal service ‼️ went to several wineries on senaca lake and this was our favorite ‼️ great wine with a personal touch. The best wine was bramble berry which they serve with a bit of dark chocolate making the perfect match. Very reasonably priced , highly recommended

This is one of THE best Riesling vineyards in the region and if you're a wine aficionado you must stop in for the Riesling flight, 4 wines, $10, served at once so you can go back-and-forth, "comparing and contrasting. Knowledgeable attendants will describe the differences in viticulture and leave you to decide your preference. Highly recommended.

Stopped by as the first winery of the day and was met by Kimmie and staff. I like dry reds and my wife likes sweeter wines. This stop was recommended by one of my customers who told me I had to stop due to the winemakers expertise in dry reds. I have found that the Fingerlakes region shows lighter dry reds but these wines impressed. I enjoyed the selection of bolder dry reds and ended up purchasing the "Italian" blend which was delicious. My wife enjoyed the sweeter wines and a friend with us enjoyed the dry whites. All in all, a great stop and we will definitely be back!

Beautiful location overlooking Seneca Lake. The shop is very quaint with many neat gift ideas - not to mention a large selection of their wines.
The proprietor was very pleasant and helpful. Of the 100+ (it seems) wineries along the lake, this one had the nicest front facing façade.

The venue is very pretty and the people are knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Heron Hill is known for its Rieslings, and they are among some of the best Rieslings from the Finger Lakes that I've ever tasted.

Visitors to this popular winery in the Finger Lakes area can experience great wine-tasting, fine dining and tasting this establishment's newest addition- micro-brewed beers.
Reviewed By Mellayella - Welland, Canada
This is our second visit to Wagner, and it was a disappointment. We came on a Saturday (and as I have read thru reviews Saturday's in the fall are their peak times) so with them acknowledging this you would think they would be better staffed. There was one server at each bar that were all absolutely packed. The server only had enough time to pour the sample, yell out over the noise what wine it was and move on to the dozens of other people there. If you know you are busiest on fall Saturday's why not have more staff on. Maybe 3 per bar. I got zero info on the wines.
My husband and our friend tasted the beer. They were told it's busy so leave the bar, again no info on the beer. They were asked to leave their licenses behind for some reason as well....Maybe as assurance the flight board would come back? However because it's so busy when we wanted to get out of there we had to wait around after dropping the board off to get our licenses back.
The whole thing was a disappointment. Our first visit was much nicer. Apparently if you are visiting on a Saturday or Sunday it's recommended you don't come.. or come first thing before it gets busy. For us that wasn't convenient as we stayed in Geneva.
Not worth the trip or the money.

If you like Whiskey, this is the place for you. My wife and I visited on a Saturday and had signed up for the tour. Brian McKenzie, the owner, conducted the tour. It so happened that we were the only ones that had signed up for the tour that day, so it ended up being a private tour which was awesome. Brian showed us all of the distillery, and explained the process behind distilling all of the different items they make. Very impressive.
After the tour we had a tasting of 3 spirits. All of which were excellent. Along with the tour, we received drink coupons so we went into the bar and had a drink. The drinks are not for the faint of heart. The whiskey is strong, as any good whiskey should be. We also purchased some whiskey and vodka before leaving.
I would recommend visiting the distillery if you have the chance, and definitely take the tour.
