Hey, all you leaf peepers - if you’re looking for the foliage hot-spots, head to Buttonwood Grove this weekend! The colors are spectacular, the weather forecast is looking perfect, and our lawn is calling your name. The wine will be flowing, the sun will be shining, and there’s no better place to be. Call a friend, hop in the car, and come on over to soak it in. Reservations are recommended for tastings, but not necessary for enjoying a bottle on the lawn. See you this weekend!

INTRODUCING: our Head Brewer, Richie Shallcross! 🍻

Richie brings more than 10 years of professional brewing experience to the job, and has been with us since 2022. ❤️ This Okie from (close to) Muskogee came to Upstate NY for school at Ithaca College - and stayed as his passion for brewing developed (and continues to grow) in our beautiful, brewery-rich region of the Finger Lakes. You can find Richie downstairs creating your next favorite Two Goats beer, relearning every day that ‘the struggle is real’ watching his beloved Chicago Cubs, or hanging outside hiking and swimming with his Assistant Brewer/dog pal, Wrigley. 🐶

🍺 Richie also wants you to know that we have a new beer! *Mosaic* - a pale ale made with Maris Otter pale malt, wheat, oats and a dash of honey malt.

Just a heads up about this weekend 10/26 & 10/27:

We will have no room for regular tastings, as our entire tasting space will be dedicated to making our Haunted Wine Walk a success. Those who do not hold tickets to the wine walk will still be welcome to enjoy a slushie, mimosa, or wine by the glass/bottle OUTSIDE under our tent, where we will have live music from 12pm- 3pm and a whole bunch of local vendors!

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Did you know that this weekend coming up is one of the busiest of the year? Here are some tips to help make the most of your visit:

1. A little advance planning goes a long way. Check winery hours, what time the last tasting of the day takes place, and where you need to make reservations versus who accepts walk-in visitors: https://senecalakewine.com/wineries-respond-to-covid19/

2. Abide by group size maximums. Please do not attempt to split groups.

3. Kindness wins the day. It is a 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 busy weekend. Lots of folks want to visit, just like you. There is a good possibility that you may run into lines and/or wait times to taste. Go in with that expectation and an extra dose of patience. Remember that we're not saving lives, here... we're drinking wine. It's supposed to be fun!

We greatly appreciate our visitors who come as strangers and leave as friends. 🥂
