Torrey Ridge Winery - Owners John and Esther Earle have been making wines from honey, grapes and various fruits for a long time, and their experience is evident in the glass. The Peach Wine hit my glass, the waters parted, the sun shone bright and choirs rang in my ears. Sound a bit over the top? O.K., I’ll admit it, but this is a great wine. Located on the West side of Seneca Lake. ~ Eileen Cash - Springdale Farm Bed and Breakfast Chateau Renaissance Wine Cellars - near Hammondsport at the South end of Keuka Lake has excellent fruit wines. We go every year to buy their Estate Dandelion Wine plus they have an unique Spicy Apple wine that is great with Thanksgiving dinner. ~ Glenda and Bill - Gentle Giants B&B Keuka Overlook Wine Cellars - on the east side of Keuka Lake has four 100% fruit wines each with an intense varietal fruit flavor and aroma. They produce a Red Raspberry, a Blackberry, a Blueberry and a Mulberry. The Mulberry is produced solely from one giant Mulberry Tree in the backyard. ~ Terry - Keuka Overlook B&B Montezuma Winery - located in Seneca Falls at the North end of Cayuga Lake. You have 9 different fruit wines to choose from, but our favorite is BLUE MOON . A blueberry wine with its pure blueberry character and intense taste. ~ Nancy & Al - Gorham House Bed & Breakfast Four Chimneys Organic Winery - They have a nice collection of a half dozen fruit wines including Honeydew, Peach, Blueberry, Strawberry, Raspberry and Pear. Very unique and their approach to making wine is pretty special as they are credited as being the only organic winery in the Finger Lakes. ~ Steve and Kathy Wirt - Wine Country Cabins Bed and Breakfast
