The best winery on the Secena Wine trail hands down! The staff is awesome and knowledgeable. Heather was super nice, she knows her wine for sure! The view over the Secena River adds to the ambience.

First time at this winery, beautiful view of the lake. We had a nice lunch and wine tasting! Delicious! Loved the Chardonnay and bought a few bottles. We felt very safe, everyone wore masks when not seated and the tables a safe distance apart.

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.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon and enjoyed a bottle of wine while listening to great music! The best part for me was my lunch.... gluten free options! The fried pickles and the mac and cheese were amazing!
