The evening before our tasting I had a glass of Dr. Frank's Dry Riesling at dinner. It was crisp and very dry...excellent. We arrived at the winery too late... read more for the traditional tasting as there were no available reservations. We were offered a wine flight of three wines for a very reasonable price. The flights were served in the lovely outdoor area that was perfect in the afternoon sun. Our party had white wines. All our selections were dry, interesting and very good. There is a limited food menu that includes quiche, a sample of small bites, tortellini salad and cheese & charcuterie for two. For the traditional tasting experience we recommend reservations.

  Great atmosphere and people! The wine is a bonus! Treated our group (Ferrari Club) wonderfully! The server was great and knowledgeable and added to our experience. All done just right!... read more /> psm

It’s delicious.... read more I would highly recommend this winery. I also bought four bottles of wine and my $15 wine tasting fee was deducted. I would go back in a New York minute

  A must-visit winery when in the Finger Lakes. The tasting room experience was sublime! In addition to a huge palette of diverse wines, the view of Keuka lake is stunning!

  It was a wonderful wine and good experience. They know how to do it right! They show why they are one of the best winery and best wines.

  We enjoyed our wine tasting very much. The person who helped us was very knowledgeable and gave us great tips for making wine selections. The setting was beautiful as well,... read more with its views of the lake and vineyards. We wanted to visit this winery because we had tried a glass of their wine in a restaurant in Ithaca and found it to be so good. We were not disappointed!

  We had no reservation, but they accommodated us in the garden where my husband enjoyed three different wines. It started to rain, thunder and lightening so the owners came... read more out with huge umbrellas to bring us indoors - so nice of them.

  This tasting was, by far, one of the best we had in three days in the Finger Lakes. Dr. Frank has a LARGE selection of wines, so we described what... read more we enjoy and asked the server to choose our flights. He was very knowledgeable about each of the wines.

We enjoyed both the wines and the view.

Of all the ten vineyards we visited on the this trip, Dr. Frank's is the ONLY one that refunds your tasting fee if you purchase (four bottles). 10% discount for a six bottle purchase and 15% for a twelve bottle purchase. (Discounts are in addition to the refunded tasting fee.)

We'll definitely do a tasting at this vineyard when we go back to the Finger Lakes.

  Been visiting the Seneca Lake wineries for the past few year. Never went to the Hammondsport area. I always wanted to visit this winery because I read so... read more much about it. THE WINES WERE SPECTACULAR !!! If you make a reservation, you can sit inside. We didn't make one and were invited to sit in the garden which was nice with umbrellas and you can order some food, as well. THIS IS A MUST IF YOU LIKE WINE. The wines are reasonably prices, too which is unusual. Many of the other wineries are charging excessively for mediocre wines but this winery is definitely a winner.

  Reservations necessary to be inside. Hubby & I didn’t make them do we were asked if we wanted to go to the garden. Lovely ! I did the 3... read more tastings for $12 and they give you a nice pouring. Wines are all
Delicious They offer light fare food. We got the cheese/meat which was so good . We bought a bottle of the Chardonnay aged barrel. Onky issue was it was Bee season and lots of them !

  The entire experience was amazing and unforgettable! From Graham’s greeting to the first flight, we knew we found the perfect winery to celebrate our 30th anniversary! What an engaging and... read more top-notch staff. Graham even gifted us with a complimentary bottle of champagne! Do not leave Keuka Lake until you spend time here!

  Wonderful reunion with friends I had travelled with in Bordeaux, back in 2010! Lauren gave us a delightful tasting and a thorough description of each wine. Colleen, Steve,... read more and Allyn each added their attention and expertise to our fabulous afternoon. We ended with an impromptu introduction to the Frank Family via the photographs in the Tasting Room. Ryan did a beautiful job!

  The wines were excellent, the staff was informative and friendly, and the view was beautiful.
I would highly recommend this winery.

  We had an excellent experience at Dr. Franks over the LaborDay Weekend.
We had a guided tasting with Paul, he was very knowledgable and made our tasting fun and... read more interesting.
We left with wonderful memories, plans to return in the future, and a case of wine to take home and enjoy.

We’ve been here before and will always come back. We joined the wine club because we love their wine so much! And the baby was able to walk around and get some exercise while we sipped our wine. Great experience all around.

  A must stop. Worth the drive. Great views from the terrace of vineyard and lake.Tasty wines. Very knowledgeable staff. Very classy.

  Absolutely my favorite experience on this trip. Pouring rain, no open house reservations available, we opted for the garden seating. Best decision ever!!! The food was amazing (must get the... read more chicken salad- they graciously sent me home with extra), quiche was perfect for the weather, and the wine flight was delicious. Everyone was smiling and happy and the staff was accommodating by the end i felt like family. This is a must go!!!

  My husband and I had a lovely time at this winery today. We were able to get a reservation for a tasting which allowed us to be able to enjoy... read more our wine on the deck while viewing Keuka Lake below the beautiful vines. Our reservation gave us the advantage of having a wine educator (Allen), who patiently answered all of our questions and shared his wealth of information of history of the vineyard, grapes, what makes the Finger Lakes region so special for winemaking, and about each of the wines that we selected for our tasting. The ambiance of this particular winery was really about giving the customer a memorable experience. We would definitely recommend this winery on a tour or to just stop by and enjoy a glass of wine.

  Good variety of good tasting wines, mostly whites, in beautiful setting. Recommend it for oenophiles or newbies

  We had a lovely afternoon. Lynn was our hostess, she gave us a guided wine tasting which had just enough info to satisfy our curiosity while enjoying the vineyard's... read more offerings. We sat outside in the veranda area and enjoyed the lovely view of the vineyard and the lake.

  Food and wine delicious. Music lovely. We always meet new and interesting people. Thanks, Allan, for the tour.

  We enjoyed the wine club members picnic today, overlooking Keuka Lake with perfect weather, a wonderful light lunch, some excellent tastings and chocolate ice cream sandwiches....It doesn't get any better... read more than this...

  The staff at Dr. Frank's takes good care of you! From the moment you walk in, you are greeted and given your options for tasting. Then you are whisked away... read more to the lovely sitting area on the front patio overlooking Keuka Lake. There are other seating areas indoors with floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the lake, as well. We opted to select wines from the list (the other option is more curated, with in-depth explanations provided by a wine educator). The wines are presented on a spiral stalk, and you taste from top to bottom (or whatever way you choose). Your designated wine educator is there to answer questions as you go.

Once you're done, you can go around to the garden area in the back, where there is seating under a tent as well as open air seating. Here, you can enjoy goodies from the kitchen with a small 2-3 glass wine flight or glass of wine.

Dr. Frank makes elegant wines from vinfera varietals. My favorites included the floral Rkatsiteli and the creamy, toasty Blanc de Blancs. They have a wide range of selections, from traditional dry Rieslings to dessert wines.

This is a lovely spot to spend a couple of hours sipping wine and enjoying the amazing view - whether of the lake or the gardens in back.

  We were able to bring our dog to the tasting. She was treated very well. She had water and a treat. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and... read more friendly. The wines, of course, were very good. I would recommend Dr. Frank for anyone traveling to The Finger Lakes

Have... read more done the tastings a bunch of times and wines are great! But getting the behind the scenes look was awesome! He even sabered a bubbly for us. If you’re in the Finger Lakes make a stop at Dr Frank’s!

  My husband, who is from Western NY, and I have been coming to Dr. Frank's for 20+ years. We remember tastings in the little cinderblock building before they moved into... read more the house.

We've tried wines from all over during our travels: France, Australia, South America, West Coast (CA, OR, WA) as well as the Niagara region and other Finger Lakes.

Dr. Frank's is still my favorite. What is disappointing to us is how much it's changed. We used to drop in on our way to/from visiting family and have a tasting - no charge for the tasting - then buy a case to take home.

We stopped today. No reservation so no tasting. Could have sat in a garden and had wine flights but...we're traveling and that's not conducive with drinking wine flights. Bought 4 bottles but was super leery of buying what we couldn't taste so definitely did not buy the case we usually buy. Really miss the old days.
