Great winery! Wine was presented very well and the wines were amazing. Didn't feel rushed and our flight attendant was very knowledgeable. Beautiful views and there is outdoor seating after your wine tasting where you can enjoy a glass of wine and look at the views (which were amazing). They also had a food truck that was serving macaroni and cheese and grilled cheese sandwiches.

So many wineries, so little time! Highly recommend a stay at the Park Inn, visit to Curtiss Museum, and the Point of the Bluff Winery. Be sure to catch a ride with Finger Lake Seaplanes!

Fox Run Vineyards is an absolute favorite of mine and I was so delighted to bring my husband here for the first time for a long weekend getaway. The team at Fox Run always hits a home run and this trip did not disappoint! We were blown away by how safe and clean everything was! I suffer from an autoimmune disease so going out in public at all during the pandemic is always scary. Fox Run went above and beyond to make sure social distance standards were enforced and that we felt super cared for the entire time. Courtney was our server and she was awesome! Her energy and clear enthusiasm for the customer was unparalleled. Plus her expertise about the vineyard and Fox Run’s wines was next level! We loved everything she recommended and can’t wait to return! Don’t miss this excellent space and super great wine selection. It’s a must in such a robust region of great options! - Jess and Nate Corrigan

Reviewed By minhnvu2014 - Alexandria, United States
We biked the Catherine Valley Trail, the Seneca Cayuga Canal Trail, and the Keuka Lake Outlet trail on this trip and Keuka was by far the prettiest. We started from Desden so that it would be uphill on the way out and downhill on the way back. There was a beautiful stream along the entire trail with two beautiful waterfalls. Seneca Mill Falls was amazing and right on the trail. There were so many places to picnic along the way, including one wonderful stream side spot with a picnic table midway between Seneca Mill Falls and Pen Yan. The trail is pretty rough so you will need a hybrid or mountain bike. This has to be one of my all time favorite bike paths, despite the bumps! And it was not crowded at all on Labor Day weekend. Amazing.

We stopped in here while vacationing in Penn Yan, and the Amish (Mennonite?) woman who owns the place guided us around the store and explained all that they have to offer. She makes beautiful Amish quilts, and there is a large variety of jarred jams, apple butters, pickles and preserves that she said her sister makes. Other items are available as well such as rustic decorative items. Loved this place. Highly recommend it.

Definitely worth a stop! We had our first pint inside in the rustic old barn and our second outside on the deck with the fire pit, overlooking the lake. Would have liked to have a 3rd but had to drive!

Saw this mentioned as a good stop with kids so we checked it out. Great outdoor space (bring a frisbee for their Disc Golf basket in their big open field, or a football, etc) with spread out picnic tables and hammocks. The flights were priced well (4 for $12, 8 for $20) and the food truck had at least 10 items ranging from hot dogs, burgers, nachos and more (the Bang Bang Potatoes were AMAZING). Beautiful Fall afternoon and felt very COVID safe.

I visited multiple wineries along Seneca Lake and this experience was amongst my favorites. I booked ahead online with no issues. They have a set up where a person stands across from you with plexiglass in between, and they wear a mask while pouring and explaining each wine you are tasting. Every wine I tasted was wonderful and I happily left with a couple of bottles in hand. Very impressed with how they are handling pandemic tastings. Highly recommend!
