I love the fact they are the only winery in the Finger Lakes that serves drinks on a dock and you can drive your boat and dock it in. Way to stand out from the rest. Best view of the lake because youre on it. Also I love that they have beer because I really dont drink wine. Its a little expensive $6 for what I deem a small cup of beer (less than 12 oz.). But Evan is a very nice young gentleman who can carry a good casual conversation.
If you want photos by the lake this is is your spot! The winery has a short trail that leads to the docks in the summer. We went in the winter and it was stunning. The staff and owner were super attentive and the House is a historical stop of the Underground Railroad. The wine was OK. It was our last stop and we liked other ones better, but great place overall
Miles Wine Cellars was great I’m so many ways. It was beautiful inside and out. There was a dock you could sit at down by the water with a great, relaxing view. All of the staff were so kind and friendly. They also allowed our dog, Charlie, to visit with us, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you Miles Wine Cellars for a great experience! Charlie says thank you as well.
Even though we showed up 20 minutes to closing they still served us. People here are always great!!! Has been 10 years since we were here last. Still a favorite!!Slushies are new and ssooooo yummy.So glad we got to visit again.
Great wine, service, and atmosphere! Came by car today but have also arrived by boat. Great setting for tastings and beautiful dock. Friendly staff and good prices. We will be back!
Real nice dry reds. Estate grown grapes. Wonderful view while enjoying a glass
Gorgeous setting, great wine, loved the ghostly lore and the friendly, knowledgeable staff.
OMG the best time ever...been going there by boat for about 4 years..we are from NJ...Evan and Doug are just like family..the port wine is our favorite...love his beer too... Jersey Joe...and Izzy plaumbo...the Best...💈🇭🇺👍
Stopping here was a great experience. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and the wine and spirits were both top rate. They are able to explain every aspect of their wine making and distilling process. I would highly recommend anyone in the region stop in.
We have enjoyed Miles for years! We just finished our second weekend at the Inn. This is a great place to relax after an afternoon of visiting the wine trail. We love the boat house and continue to meet great people each time we go. We also have enjoyed our experiences with the ghosts. They have never been frightening, just unexpected, letting us know they are there.We appreciate all the staff, who are delightful and totally accommodating. Suzie and Doug are great hosts. We can’t wait to bring more of our friends there.
Used to be a must hit destination on our Finger Lakes vacation. But it appears that this establishment has gotten away from being a winery with a relaxed atmosphere where customers are more than customers. Now it’s a very stuffy atmosphere where the tastings no longer include a souvenir glass. They cost more. The tastings are barely enough to properly taste. Server makes no attempt to explain the wine. Almost seemed bothered by our being there. The $7 wine slushy is served in a bathroom cup and tastes like they forgot the wine. We usually leave with two cases, but only 3 bottles this year. The wines overall have gotten flat in quality over the last few years, but this year....This was a very devastating experience for us since we really used to enjoy this place. We have seen this sort of degradation to other wineries up here. But never to one we enjoyed. I’m sad to say we have visited this place for the last time.
Wonderful family run winery right on the lake with access to their private boat house/bar area! Super nice family & spunky little puppy Boon. Sweet grounds to taste their wines. Glad we stopped. Also had aB&B in the old house which they say is haunted by friendly ghosts. Maybe next stay!
Loved the wine. The house is great and loved the gho a t story.
Wonderful family owned winery with their own wines, spirits, and craft beers. Set right on Seneca provides gorgeous views and a large dock that you can dock at. The dock features a bar itself, or a short walk to the patio for drinks
To say this place is amazing is an understament! The Miles family is so welcoming. They offer more than just wine but for me the stories shared by the owners was what really made our visit amazing! I seriously cant recommend this place enough 🤗
Nice small place. Same wine maker as Fox run. I would recommend a visit to Fox run instead. Similar wines. More at Fox run and staff at fox run was more in tune with talking with you and telling stories and being friendly over all. We still had a nice time at this place I wouldnt turn anyone away from this place. If they became a bit more personable this would be a phenomenal little spot to visit.
Old House Winery and Craft Beers, nestled along the lake with a beautiful boat house dock you can sit on the water and have your drinks. Lots of fun history there! Wonderful people. The tasting was wonderful, the workers were smiling and the glass at the end was ours to keep. Will Definitly stop again!
They are literally by the water on Seneca Lake. Great wine! And the staff is knowledgeable! Great place on the trail to pop in for a glass or flight! 💕
Great staff, tasty wine. Love the Cabernet Franc. Definitely hit the dock and try a root beer bourbon cream float.
Very beautiful place! Only place with a dock makes this winery the best in my opinion.
First time to visit Miles. Our wine server was friendly, knowledgeable and pleasant to talk to. We purchased 6 bottles of wines and disappointed that we received no discount nor did they waive the tasting fee. The serving size is much smaller than other wineries. Now that I know there is no discount or waiving of tasting fees when 2 or more bottles of wine are purchased we will go elsewhere. They are certainly not the only winery available.
The nicest staff and family! The winery is so welcoming and cozy, wine is fantastic - love the Ghost - and a great haunted history. Definitely will return!
Nice selection of wines and they have some spirits and beer ,nice outdoor seating and a really nice bar on the water , all and all nice place to stop in at if your in the area
So beautiful!!!! Best wine slushy Ive ever had in my life!!! Right on the water with a gorgeous yard, nature and a boat dock!!!! Highly recommend!!!!
We added this winery on to our trip last minute and we got in with no problem. The hostess was not the friendliest, but Clarice behind the bar was a sweet woman and told some fun ghost stories while we sampled. The best part was the amazing view of the water.
The view is fantastic but thats about it - everything else was very disappointing. The barrtender didnt explain about the different wines and poured us the desert wine first. We felt very unwelcome and that someone is pushing us just to drink fast and go away. The wines were also not good in my opinion.
Love their wine slushies, though wish you still wish you got to keep the cup. Theyre a dollar more and you lose the free wine glass. I do love that this place has a bar right down on the dock where you can drink wine, one of the only places I know of which this option.
Definitely skip this one. First problem is the rude staff especially the owner Sarah. As a local chauffeur I know they have had a real bathroom for years, yet they send ALL customers out to a port a potty in their muddy parking lot. Also wines are comparatively sub par. Better options (with real bathrooms) are Anthony Road to the north and Glenora to the south.
Always a great place to enjoy a glass of wine. Sorry we missed seeing Doug, Suzy, and Boone. Next trip.
We arrived (party of 3) at 4:30. We were seated and told someone would be by to take our flight order soon. Twenty minutes came and went with no service. We go back to the front and were then told that we could not be served anymore and had to leave due to an event.
An excellent selection of Finger Lakes wines. Try Call Me a Cab. Best with pizza or wings.
Pretty setting but only semi-decent wine and clueless staff. Disappointing overall. $5 for 5 tastings but some of the smallest samples we had on the lake. Come take a photo and skip the wine!
The view at Miles wine cellars is fantastic! They hooked me up on the wine tasting since I enjoy sweet wines and only a couple on the list was sweet. Cache and Wisteria wines were both great. To top it all off I got a free bottle of wine for being AD military! Thanks for your support Miles wine cellars!
Fantastic wines and wonderful atmosphere! Our favorite winery of the day
Awful experience all around. I had a tasting that was being poured by the owner, and he was disrespectful the entire time. He addressed my party in a condescending way, and told misinformation about his product in an attempt to sell. I thought that his attempt at winemaking was pitiful. All of the products that I tasted were reductive which lead me to believe that the grapes used were of poor quality. After my tasting I felt the need to throw up. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Despite the nice view of the lake, the disrespect from the staff and owner paired with the vomit inducing wines make this joke of an establishment the last place you ever want to go.
Beautiful location and history, but very cramped tasting room. Love the ghost in the bottle idea — very clever! BUT the wines were just OK.
Was not a good experience. They barely pour enough to even do a perfunctory tasting of swishing and inhaling. Then have the audacity after charging for the glass to say just leave it. I could care less about the glass and would rather have enough of a pour to truly tell the character of the wine.
Beautiful place. The willow tree out front is my favorite. Love their wine and wine slushies. We always make this one of our stops when we come to the finger lakes.
Whats not to love about Amazing Wines from the finger Lakes. What makes Miles Winery Standout is the upbeat staff, not to mention that view. If you are in the area it is a must stop! Looking forward to the wine festival.
Off the beaten path down near the lakefront for those looking for a view and picture spot. They need a better organized and larger parking area for visitors. An area to keep larger conveyance vehicles would be helpful to keep the driveway areas clear and easier to navigate.
Beautiful vineyard with a dock that extends into Seneca Lake!
Beautiful views, friendly staff, cute dog. Wine slushie tasted like Hi-C but I everything else was very nice
Great little place for a wine tasting. Took a walk down to the dock to check out the lake. They are also dog friendly!
Beautiful old house on photographic grounds with some nice wines; also features a tasting bar in a boathouse, down at the water. Very nice.
Not the best experience- the wine was only so so but the guy behind the bar was downright unfriendly. All he did was pour the wine-no information about the winery, or the wines. He barely said anything. It was not busy at all and a weekday. Disappointing.
Beautiful place! Hidden Finger Lakes gem. Employees couldnt be nicer
The wine is excellent and the scenery and grounds are unbeatable.
Beautiful tasting under a 250 year old willow
Had a great experience, the property and wine are awesome.
Beautiful place and great wines, cant wait to come back!
Great wines! Friendly and informative staff. Beautiful view!
We were greeted at the front of the building, asked if they could take out picture for their website. Our hostess was very informative and very personable.
Very nice and interesting experience. Tasted both wine and beer. Highly recommend this stop.
Nicest employees!! Very cute things to buy, and the wine and beer were great! Would 10/10 recommend!!!
Really cool winery with tasty wines and great boat dock to sit and sip
A great place to taste wine and beer. Right along Seneca Lake, Miles Wine Cellars is picturesque and enjoyable.
Very neat, old place. Basically sits on the lake. It is a winding road to get to it, but it is worth it. Take the extra minute and go get your picture taken
Great people and wonderful wines. Ask about the ghosts and check out the dock!
Not what I expected. Prime location on Lake Seneca, but not being taken advantage of. Tiny tasting room, no bathrooms (port-a-johns only), few amenities. Room for much improvement.
Beautiful and Clean. Yummy wine too!!
This place was fantastic! Places to sit by the water and good wine definitely recommend
Great place. Came by boat.Had a great visit...and good wine.....
Excellent wine and very friendly, knowledgeable wine tasting staff!
Cool winery on the water! The mulled wine is awesome!
Great wine and beer. Historic building next to the lake.
A couple of good sample wines, but very small samples to try.
Hidden gem. Absolutely stunning view by the lake.
Gem of the finger lakes ! Good wine and a beautiful dock to sit and sip
The wine is bad and service unfriendly. Scenery is great
Some good dry Reds, awesome dock and view
Amazing staff, flavorful wine & beer, great view.
Cant wait to stay overnight - maybe experience the ghost !!!!
Beautiful location thats not being taken advantage of. Looks like there are improvements to come though...
Great family, staff and wine!
Great winery. Will be back for beer.
Very tasty wine and service. :-)

Beautiful setting!
Love the Ghost wine!
Was there on a Crush beer tour.
Always a GREAT TIME
Beautiful location.
Perfect perfect perfect
Unbelievable place
Outstanding!
Cool setting and dock on the water. Great wines!
This was an awesome winery that we were able to pull up to their dock and drink right on the dock. Great for anyone looking to boat to their next vineyard
The Georgian-style house imposes an air of grandeur and grace to the place. The huge and very old, judging by the trunk, the tree welcomes with its shadow and its undulating branches. They hang down forming a cozy canopy.Inside there are 4 wine and beer tasting stations. I chose the one for beers and I was not mistaken. Great selection of different craft beers. Then you go out and find this amazing view of the lake in the middle of immaculate gardens. Going down an adjacent path you reach the shore of the pebble beach. There are some chairs to sit on and with a glass of wine in hand or a beer to simply contemplate the huge lake. There is a bar that is called by a decking. There are tables and chairs and service there.

2022-06-13Miles Wine Cellars / Boat House BarCame here Monday / vacation day fun day.Took the boat out with family and enjoyed aBeautiful Day on Seneca Lake.Stopped here for wine and refreshments.Great place to stop and enjoy a day on the lake.Evan the owner was great with all the history of the property from the 1800s. Evan was on point with rich history. Also gave the history of all their wine 🍷.Great place to stop when your out on your boat or wave runners. Cant go wrong relaxing taking in the view of Seneca Lake.

2021-08-02A great place with some unique wine. We really enjoyed the tasting and outdoors of this winery. They have a beautiful patio and a boat house which is open weather permitting. If you try the Ghost wine don’t forget to ask the back story of the name.

2022-04-03This is a charming, friendly little winery in a beautiful setting. Their wines were very good. Thanks so much for accommodating our group. We loved meeting Butter, the puppy, too! I would definitely like to come back and spend more time here.

2022-06-04One of the best places to come and hang out. Not only is their wine fantastic, they have a large selection of local beers and ciders. The dock bar is beautiful, we could stay all day. It is also dog friendly which is appreciated.

2022-06-15Gorgeous landscape with the weeping willow tree and boat house/dock. However the wine tasting is inside the house, which is quite dark. The property is so beautiful, yet there’s no tastings available outside. The only restroom available is a portapotty in the parking lot. We chose to come to this winery because it’s one of the few right on the water, and while we might consider coming back due to the fact that we could get a glass of wine and take it down to the water, we aren’t rushing to get back here.

2022-05-27What a fantastic, beautiful and possibly haunted place. Wine is out of this world and same goes to the spirits, I can still smell the citrus Gin. The tasting experience is phenomenal too, small and intimate

2020-10-12Very cute winery and beautiful location (right on the water). The service was slow which is usually fine but was running on a strict schedule so I felt like I didn’t have much take to truly enjoy the tasting. I prefer tastings where I can pick and choose amongst a list rather than ordering pre-set tasting options, but all in all, beautiful scenery and good wine.

2020-10-30A phenomenal experience! The gentleman that hosted our tasting also was one of the wine makers that started a distilling process. The knowledge that this gentleman imparted with us was vast and interesting. Be sure to try the Solera Uncharted Spirit, aged on a sail boat on the lake, hand labeled for small batch! The Wisteria, Cache, and Call me a Cab wines were amazing as well

2018-05-21Had a nice visit to Miles winery. The weather was beautiful outside and it was such a nice property to wander around. Cant wait to come back and have a glass of wine down on the dock.
