J.R. Dill Winery — Attraction in Town of Hector

Highly Recommend J.R. Dill Winery. My husband and I stopped by for our first visit to J.R. Dill on Thursday, and we LOVED IT!!!! We had the tasting for two, and had the Dry Red Blend, and you get 6 wine choices and we loved 5 out of the 6 and ended up buying all 5 bottles. The wine is delicious and they serve Tapas (light food dishes, including a delicious chacuterie board and hummus. What made it even better was our Wine Pro/Server, Astra, who was so much fun and she is super interesting to talk to. She even gave us the story on how J.R. Dill started the winery and how his Mom helps with the gardening and planting around the winery. Astra was so nice and made us feel so welcomed. If you are in the Seneca Lake area, you must make a stop at J.R. Dill, you won't regret it. Hopefully Astra will be there for your wine tasting. If we could give more than a 5 star, we definitely would. J.R Dill - You are our FAVORITE winery in the Finger Lakes and we will be back over and over and over. ...

My husband and I came up to the finger lakes to celebrate our wedding anniversary! This winery was the first one we tried and it did not disappoint. The wines were amazing and Everyone who worked there made up feel so welcomed! The person who helped us through our wine tastings was extremely knowledgeable and made us feel so special! Best part was it was a beautiful day in which we got to enjoy there outdoor area which has the most beautiful scenery. I would recommend this winery to anyone and we ended up getting a wine bottle to go. My husband and I both agree this was one of our favorite wineries during our entire trip and we absolutely will come back when we come up that way again! Thank you again for celebrating our special...

I have to say this is a hidden gem on the Seneca Wine Trail. A true boutique wine kind of feel. A very inviting feeling. Extremely nice and knowledgeable staff. The Cayuga White Rise is their best seller for a reason. It's crisp and effervescent and perfectly balanced. We tasted the Three Barrel Blend 2021 a red wine and even though it was a rainy year in 2021 you wouldn't know it. When I said the Finger Lakes was not known for their red wines one of the wine makers said, "it's not the 90s anymore." This was definitely the best red wine I've ever had in the finger lakes. Come in person because you won't find these...
