Heron Hill Winery opened its first vineyards on Keuka Lake in 1977 and has grown into one of the most awarded family-owned producers in the Finger Lakes. The Canandaigua Lake satellite tasting room occupies a barn built around 1920 on the western ridge above the lake. Original hand-hewn beams and high ceilings frame a tasting bar with views across the vineyard rows to the water below. The portfolio runs from the estate's signature Riesling and Chardonnay to Cabernet Franc and sparkling wines from both the Keuka and Canandaigua growing blocks. Live music and wood-fired pizza are offered on Saturdays during the season. The winery's Love Riesling, a semi-dry white, was featured in Brides Magazine. Open Thursday through Monday most of the season; call ahead in winter.
