For 30 years Heron Hill Winery has grown cold-climate Riesling and Chardonnay grapes and made elegant world-class wines on a slate hill overlooking scenic Keuka Lake in the Finger Lakes region of western New York. Enjoy the views from our magnificent vaulted Tasting Hall, as you taste our portfolio of Rieslings, Chardonnays, Vinifera reds, and our popular Eclipse Series. Taste the Ingle Vineyard series as well as our Late Harvest and Icewines at our Premium Bar. Heron Hill has garnered numerous awards for its wines, including “Best of Show- White Wine” at the San Francisco International Wine Competition.

It is often said that wine is an expression of the vineyard. The natural beauty of the Finger Lakes affords the grape grower one of the world’s finest locations to grow quality grapes. The key element is the terrain of the region. Growers look to the gentle slopes and the warming influence of the deep lakes for sites less susceptible to frost, as cold heavy air masses tend to settle in valleys and bring unwelcome late spring freezes. Combine the terrain with an exceptional growing climate of warm days and cool evenings along with the deep, well-drained gravelly soil and you have the Finger Lakes region of New York State – a world-class viticultural area.

The grapes used to create Heron Hill’s wines come from two main locations in the Finger Lakes region; Ingle Vineyards situated on the western slopes of Canandaigua Lake and Heron Hill Vineyards located on the western slopes of Keuka Lake.  Ingle Vineyards are maintained by Heron Hill’s owner, John Ingle, Jr. Planted in 1972, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Riesling and Pinot Noir grapes are harvested from these vineyards. Heron Hill Vineyards, located at the winery, are maintained by Heron Hill’s winemaker, Thomas Laszlo. Planted in 1968, the Chardonnay and Riesling vineyards are some of the oldest Vinifera vines in the Finger Lakes region. Both Thomas and John realize that grapes are a labor-intensive crop with each vine needing year-round individual care. With their dedicated team of workers and careful site management, the vineyards produce grapes that are consistent with Heron Hill’s commitment to quality. Join Heron Hill in celebrating the gifts of the true beauty found in the Finger Lakes region.

The Blue Heron Café (Open 10-5 Monday thru Saturday; 12-5 on Sunday) offers homemade soups, sandwiches and weekend specials. Enjoy a glass of our award-winning wine on the terrace overlooking Keuka Lake while enjoying live entertainment on the weekends. Open Memorial Day through October.  Consider Heron Hill on Keuka Lake for your special event. A celebration here, in any season will be a memorable occasion. Many of our brides and grooms choose to get married on-site, surrounded by our beautiful gardens and landscaped lawns. Our walkway is the perfect entrance to your ceremony or reception.

In 2006 we opened a second tasting room on beautiful Seneca Lake so that visitors to the region could have more options for visting us and tasting our wines.  However you chose to experience Heron Hill you can be sure it is an experience you will remember.
