Escape to Sonnenberg Gardens & Mansion State Historic Park where you’ll find time to unwind, surrounded by the lush landscape, colorful vistas, and architectural treasures in our nine formal gardens, our 1887 Queen Anne-style mansion and in our Lord & Burnham greenhouse complex. Delight in the international flavor of horticultural design envisioned by garden founder Mary Clark Thompson nearly 100 years ago, as you take in thousands of perennials, annuals and other plants on display across the grounds. Featuring some of the best wines and gourmet food products from more than 40 partner wineries and farms, we are a virtual gateway to all the Finger Lakes Wine Trails, and a member of the Canandaigua Wine Trail. Housed in the historic Bay House near the conservatory, the Finger Lakes Wine Center is readily accessible from the main parking lot and garden admission is not required.

For a literal taste of nature’s bounty, stop in at our Finger Lakes Wine Center, featuring an “Abundance” of vintages from more than 40 partner wineries throughout the region. Operated by a non-profit organization, in cooperation with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, Sonnenberg is located minutes from Canandaigua Lake and just a short drive down the state Thruway, southeast of Rochester, in the heart of the Finger Lakes.

On any given day, visitors can taste selections from 10-15 different wines from our rotating-inventory tasting bar in the Wine Center cellar downstairs for a nominal fee. Featured vintages encompass the residual sugar range from dry to semi-sweet reds and whites, dessert or sparkling wines, all made with New York State-grown grapes. The tasting room closes one-half hour before the wine sales and gift shop upstairs. On Sundays, the tasting room opens at noon. The 1911 stained glass Tiffany window — the focal point of our tasting room – was crafted by the Pike Stained Glass Studio in Rochester, NY. Its image is also featured on the label of Sonnenberg’s own “Abundance” wine.

Over the Garden Season, the Finger Lakes Wine Center sells more than 160 different wine products and 25 gourmet food products from more than 40 partner wineries and farms. One of our main objectives is to provide information about these wineries and introduce visitors to the wide array of wines and food produced in the Finger Lakes.
