Please take note if planning a visit to the Finger Lakes!

Effective Monday, December 13, New York State requires masks be worn indoors, unless a business chooses to adopt a vaccination policy (whereby proof of full vaccination means a mask is not required).

Our wineries are independently owned and operated, and each will handle this as they see fit, while following this latest mandate. That means your experience may vary slightly from winery to winery.

Our recommendation? Please bring a mask and be prepared to wear it indoors if requested. Our doors remain open, our surfaces (and everything else!) sanitized, and many merry elves stand ready to welcome you!
