Stever Hill Vineyards — Attraction in Town of Jerusalem

I can't say enough about the amazing tasting we had on their gorgeous back deck with stunning vineyard views. But the real star of our visit is their Heritage Red. OMG do not miss tasting it and if you love a red with a hint of smokey, yet incredibly smooth, take a few bottles home like we did for our return to Boston. In face I brought back a mixed case and my neighbor who watered my garden in our absence raved about the Rose we gave them as a thank you. It was a hit at an 80th birthday celebration. I'm happy to say when I'm in the Finger Lakes this is a winery I will definitely return to.

If you are looking for a reasonable, fun tasting-plus experience with good wine, stop here. It is the only winery we will be sure to visit again the next time we explore...

Jay and Bob at Stever hill were very kind and welcoming! I absolutely loved the music playing here (best at all of the wineries we visited). This is a seemingly lesser-known winery on the west side of Keuka Lake, but definitely worth a visit. They allowed guests to enjoy their drinks after 5pm, so if you are looking for a winery that is open a bit later until 6, they will seat you right up until before 5pm. In addition to wine, they also sell wine slushies, ciders, beer, and cocktails. Our favorite wine was the heritage red- it tasted like cotton candy...
