Vinifera Vineyard Tour

Walk the Vines. Taste the Legacy.

Discover the story of our vinifera vineyards through an intimate, guided walking tasting experience that connects you directly to the land, the wines, and four generations of family dedication.

The Vinifera Vineyard Tour is a premium experience designed for guests who want to go deeper — beyond the tasting bar and into the vineyard itself. Through guided storytelling, curated pours, and seasonal hospitality, you’ll explore how our cool-climate terroir shapes every bottle.

A Journey Through the Estate

A Scenic Welcome

Your experience begins on our terrace overlooking the estate vineyards with a welcome pour of one of our signature wines. As you take in the sweeping view of Keuka Lake and the surrounding vines, your guide will introduce the pioneering story behind our family winery and the vinifera grapes that transformed the Finger Lakes.

Guided Vineyard Walk

From the terrace, you’ll set out on a guided walk through select vineyard blocks while enjoying a series of curated wine pours along the way.

As you stroll through the vines, you’ll discover how the cool-climate terroir, seasonal vineyard work, and generations of family stewardship shape the wines in your glass. Each tour explores different areas of the estate, making every visit a little unique.

A Garden Finale

Your journey concludes in our garden with time to relax together over a final splash of wine and a small seasonal bite. It’s the perfect moment to savor the setting, ask questions, and enjoy the quiet beauty of the vineyard before continuing your visit.

Unfortunately, we cannot allow pets or guests under 21 years of age on the Vinifera Vineyard Tour.
