Keeping Our Guests Safe
Since day one, the safety of our guests and staff have been of utmost concern. While it is too cold to conduct outdoor tastings, our experiences follow all federal and regional recommendations. Groups of tasters are seated at a minimum of six feet from others. Masks are mandatory for all guests and staff. Each table and other highly touched surfaces are sanitized after each party. A cleaner will deep clean our spaces each morning. Wine purchases are contact-less.
We ask our guests to be considerate of our staff and other guests. Nose and mouth coverings are required at all times except when tasting. If you have any shortness of breath, cough, fever, or any other ill symptoms, please stay home. Please wait in your car until your reservation time to limit the number of people in our waiting areas.
Thank you!

This winery was beautiful. The staff was very knowledgeable, the atmosphere was great, and we had lots of fun! I wasn't sure what kind of wine to expect... read more in this region, but I thought the wine here was delightful and thoughtfully priced. We went for a Bachelorette party and they made the bride feel special. They were very accommodating for our group and I especially enjoyed the wine trees! Stephen was especially kind and helpful. Thanks for a great time!

All very knowledgeable about the wines and the history surrounding the winery and Dr Franks work with successfully introducing a type of grape to the areas.

I’ve always enjoyed Dr Konstantine Frank wines. They make some of the leading Finger Lake wines and at this tasting they did not disappoint. They’re well organized in the COVID... read more environment, one way in, one way out. The servers were quite knowledgeable.
Here’s the downside though. Because of COVID they’re severely restricting the wines you can taste. So the problem becomes your interested in one of the many wines that are available for bottle purchase but you can’t get a sample taste. Nor can you go into the gift shop and inspect the bottle labels which I generally find useful before purchasing a bottle.
These are trying times and hopefully my next time here we will be back to normal.

We did not visit the website and had no idea that you needed a reservation for a tasting. The staff were polite and we were allowed to purchase some... read more chilled wine and sit outside. The problem arose when my wife asked to use the restroom and was given directions . She was stopped by a member of the staff who asked if she had reservations. she was not allowed to use the facilities and was sent to a port-a-pottie in the parking lot. To make matters worse, it was filthy, as I witnessed myself when I needed to use the facilities. I will never visit this winery again. I have visited several wineries and did not need reservations at any of them.
