Hosmer Winery farms 70 acres on the western shore of Cayuga Lake in Ovid with a focus on sustainable viticulture and minimal-intervention winemaking, celebrating 40 years in operation in 2025. The portfolio is notably broad for an estate operation: Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, and Grüner Veltliner, all grown on the same property. The Patrician Verona Vineyard on the estate is one of the older planted blocks on the west shore. The tasting room is relaxed and accessible; the farming story earns the stop as much as the wine.
