This place was on my bucket list for summer activities and I finally visited yesterday. The tasting lounge space is incredibly comfortable. They have some different setups depending on what the customer's preferences are, and the tasting options are fairly varied for a small location. My friend and I got the cheese and wine tasting option and were incredibly satisfied. The plate they presented us with was gorgeous and everything tasted wonderful. The wines are on the dryer side, but we were especially impressed by the 2020 Chardonnay, which was different from any other Finger Lakes Chardonnay that we have tried. The hosts were informative and friendly and willing to chat with us about all of the different ways that they make wine. It was incredibly fascinating to hear about how climate and weather, and methodology affects the flavor. They were also very willing to accommodate our requests to stay a little bit longer and try some of their library collection, which was a great study in comparing different years of wine and different flavors and how it all comes together.

Read moreUnforgettable experience! Definitely add this to your list of places not to miss. Words and pictures can not capture how phenomenal an experience you will have with Nova. The tasting rooms are unlike anything we have experienced before. Do not be fooled that this location is in Geneva versus on the vineyard.
I planned a special surprise birthday wine trip for my mom and her friends in the finger lakes. We had tasted Trestle 31 wine before and really liked it so we were excited to have a private tasting with Nova. Little did my mom and her friends know how special it really was going to be. Not only was the wine and charcuterie amazing, it was obvious how much thought and artistic talent went into the décor and even down to the unique water glasses! I rarely write reviews, but I could not let this one slip by. If there were 10 stars I would have definitely marked them all. Nova is truly talented in so many ways and you will be so glad that you visited Trestle 31! We will be back Nova and thank you thank you so so much for everything you did for my mom and...
Read moreThis was a fabulous tasting experience. We were fortunate to visit on a rare occasion when the winemaker and owner, Nova, was working in the Tasting Room, so our visit could not have been more rewarding. She has created an amazing space to enjoy her wines, and the product is just as impressive as I had been told it would be. The cozy private tasting rooms are perfect for smaller groups looking for a more intimate setting, and she was so thoughtful and understanding when our infant son was restless at the beginning. Everything from the beautiful artwork and locally curated cheese plate to the complimentary espresso at the end contributes to a familiar feel, as if we were enjoying her wine in...
