Great winery with a diverse choice of wines. While not on some of the Finger Lake winery tourist type maps, this winery is one of the best you will find in any part of the wine areas in New York. Located on the Western shore of Cayuga Lake, Sheldrake Point Winery is the real deal in chateau style wine making. They grow the grapes right here. They have a great mix of varietals and an extensive tasting selection. Have a group, no problem. Seating is available both inside and out. They have older, Library, selections for both tasting and purchase. Try their Gamay Noirs for something quite different than the usual white wine choices everywhere else. Of course they have exceptional Reisling wines in a sweetness or dryness that will delight your senses so, you are covered in the "usual" choices available all over the Finger Lakes. Want a hearty red? You can get a very good bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon and a meritage too. Their largest selling wine is a Rose' in case you want some cool looking wine for your next party. Lots to like about this place and I'm very sure you too will both like your visit and then look forward to coming back for more.
