Keuka Lake Vineyards — Attraction in Town of Urbana

We had an excellent experience at KLV. We stopped by to try some of their Riesling and were pleasantly surprised to find a whole menu of excellent wine!

We lived in Europe for years, trying some of the best wines in the world. After traveling the Finger Lakes, we were disappointed with the "Cracker Barrel" style of many of the local vineyards. KLV was a breath of fresh air.

Every option at this family owned vineyard was exceptional but more importantly, the staff knew the story of the land. In Europe, you can ask any of the staff at any vineyard about the soil and you will hear a tale of what makes the place special. The KLV staff taught us more in a half hour tasting than any of the 10+ previous stops, to include the Dr. Konstantin staff just a few miles down the road.

We decided to pass by a vineyard on our way back from Letchworth and Keuka Lake Vineyards was one of those open during Easter. I read from the reviews how good their Rieslings were so we decided this would be the perfect place to go to.

Luckily, Mel, the owner was there and we had the most informative tasting of their wine. He started us with their famous dry Riesling and I loved it from the get-go. My favorites are their dry rieslings and vignoles.

For an additional $5 you can sample their rare bottles which includes the Falling Man. One of my favorite is their Turkey Run vignole.

I love how their grapes are sustainably grown and that they do not use herbicides. On warmer days you can have an outdoor seat with a beautiful view of the sapphire waters of Keuka Lake. We will definitely...

A friend and I visited several FL wineries last week. This was the first on the day we scheduled with Finger Lakes Transport which allowed us to relax and enjoy all that wine! Our hostess was knowledgeable about their wines and the history of winemaking in the FL AVA. Their wines tend to be on the drier side and quite tasty, even though we lean toward off-dry. Blends are not noted on the tasting menu, but hostess provided that info. I was anxious to try the Vignoles Method Ancestral (AKA "Pet Nat) and found it to be a pleasant, dry sparkly. Another review commented on the lack of view from the tasting room (an historic barn), but outside provides a lovely view of their vineyards, Seneca Lake, and vineyards up the east side...
