Excellent and interesting selection of wine. Jack was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We didn’t purchase any food but the menu selections looked delicious. Our favorites were the stainless steel barrel aged Chardonnay, Zinfandel and the dry Riesling. Absolutely fantastic wines and experience.
We didn’t plan to stop into Long Point, but were so pleased that we did! Robin was absolutely lovely, and led us through a wonderful tasting experience. We would certainly go back next time we are in the area. Enjoy a tasting, glass of wine, or some cheese and pepperoni snack packs made fresh by the owner. Loved the list of places on the whiteboard that carries their wine, so that if you’re out to dinner you can enjoy a glass of Long Point wine.
The wine was so-so, nothing was a standout. The sandwiches were out of this world and i wish i could give 10 stars - OMG! This was one of the best sandwiches ive ever had, the foccacia was fresh and soft, the ingredients were so fresh and delicious - the view was incredible and the staff was VERY sweet. Please stop by this winery for lunch, you wont regret it!
Excellent red and white wines in a beautiful setting. They produce both very dry and quite sweet wines, so almost everyone will find a favorite. During the summer the sandwich offerings are huge and delicious. The owner Gary is such a nice man who is happy to share his wine knowledge. The counter help are also quite knowledgeable. Highly recommend.Note that your dog is welcome to join you under the tent and they provide water bowls - very much appreciated during the hot days of summer.
This past weekend my friends and I wanted to come to this winery, I secured my reservation with a credit card over the phone. However due to unforeseen circumstances with our transportation (a company got back to us very late on their availability after we thought we had that secured for Saturday), I ended up calling Saturday as early as possible to cancel my reservation. The phone was then answered by a very rude woman who told me their cancellation policy was 48hours notice to which I had apologized and let her know I was canceling from a late change of plans due to unforeseen issues with a transportation company. I could have done without the attitude about how we cost them business and they had to turn people away because we were hogging time on their schedule. I will also note that no one had informed me of the cancellation policy when I made the reservation. The woman again very rudely with lots of attitude said she would still be charging my card the full amount anyway. Due to this terrible experience before even arriving on site I no longer feel the need to ever go here and I felt so bothered by the way I was spoken to on the phone that I wanted others to know this about this establishment (which I never leave negative reviews but this one I felt was necessary)
Excellent experience after the initial walk in! Holiday Shopping Spree 2017 : the entrance for the shopping spree was the warehouse entrance, which was not well set-up and a little cheap-looking. There were only two wines for tasting in there, and you only got to choose one or the other, and it wasnt well advertised that the rest of the wine tasting would be in the wine tasting room. When we went in there however the mood changed! We were welcomed and given great attention as we tried some very good wines! For my husband and I who are not big wine drinkers all of the wines tasted delicious, and we ended up buying a bottle of the Zinderella. The experience by the time we left was great, and we really enjoyed our time there! Just wish they have started off the shopping spree in a bit more festive manner.
The tasting room has a very fun and friendly atmosphere. This place primarily uses Hungarian oak for their wine and import some of their grapes cross country. That being said, their wine is delicious. Their red wine is really good and we are currently aging their reserve red zin. A must go if youre in the area!
Ok everyone I understand that their is a pandemic going on. However, yesterday we celebrated my stepsisters birthday and did a little hay ride with her and some friends I took them to the applestation winery and then we made our way south to longpoint where Which started as what we thought was a peaceful stop turned into being humiliated by some lady saying we can’t be here we are not welcome! We asked why and she said it’s the law on ten people at a time however she is wrong because we are currently in phase 4. But she proceeded to say it was there rules.....very rude handled themselves unprofessionally.. unfortunately a couple people from our group ended inside before this happened and bought some things unknown what had just happened outside..... I will never go to this winery again nor will I recommend it. If you would like a nice experience and have a good time no matter what’s going on in this world highly recommend the applestation winery...... shame on you long point!
What started out as a nice taste-testing, ended with our entire group of 20 leaving after being yelled at by an unprofessional & condescending man behind the counter. One of our group tipped over a bottle which then rolled off the crowded counter & crashed on the floor. This was obviously an accident and we werent even able to utter an apology before we were humiliated by this man.He yelled our behavior was unacceptable. His reaction was unacceptable. We left without purchasing any items, including lunch for 20. Never again will we darken this winerys door.We went down the road & had a wonderful lunch at another winery, of which there are many to choose from in the area that are actually nice to their customers.
If I could give 0 stars I would, I had placed a reservation with them two weeks ago, and now we get to the winery and say that we cant be there. Completely ruined everything about it. I would never recommend this place to anyone as they are incredibly unreliable and unprofessional.

2021-09-15This is one little gem of a place. Wine was superb and the view spectacular!! The staff couldnt be nicer...explaining their wines and styles. Worth the time and trip....local Brewery around the corner if looking for both types of tastings.

2022-01-10Good wine selection and very tasty. Russ was great. Very knowledgeable and knew what to suggest based on your preferences. The secret gem here is their kitchen. Fantastic lite fare and sandwiches. The Reuben was one of the best I’ve had in a very long time.

2020-12-02Went in on a rainy day and enjoyed our tastings with a very knowledgeable staff member. Definitely learned a lot about each of their wines and really enjoyed each wine we tasted. The food options were mostly just cheese and crackers, but they were very reasonably priced. Ended up picking up three bottles to go and got a discount on them. Would definitely recommend!

2020-07-28To access the winery by boat, use the long point state park docks. Call and they will come pick you up via car. (Note for covid - no dogs allowed in car, but are allow at the winery, no reservations needed. Food and wine are both great. Very friendly service.

2017-03-31Really tasty wines, great variety, beautiful setting with amazing views of the lake. Plus, Gary was a great host, taught us a lot and since it wasnt crowded, even showed us the barrel room. Ive been to a bunch of wineries along the Finger Lakes, and this was a great one, highly recommend!

2021-08-25This winery overlooks Cayuga Lake and, trust me, its worth the drive. They have earned local, statewide, national, and international medals for their quality wines. I did a wine tasting (which I paid for) as well as bought a variety of their wines. I will definitely come back and highly recommend it.

2020-11-07It was absolutely Wonderful. The scenery was spectacular of Cayuga Lake Sunset while I sat outside enjoying a glass of wine. And the service was especially helpful. Very nice place to visit.

2018-05-13A wonderful gem on the east side of Cayuga Lake! Its totally worth the trip over to the east side, even though most of the other Cayuga Lake Wine Trail stops are on the west side. Gary and Rosemary are incredibly warm and welcoming, as well as Lizzie their super friendly dog. Speaking of dogs, they are dog-friendly, and we always bring our two dogs. My wife and I are dry to semi dry white wine drinkers, and Gary certainly delivers in this department: we never leave without at least a case. The view is also easily one of the best on Cayuga Lake. Cheers!
