A lakeside estate on a quiet point of Cayuga Lake, pairing cool-climate Riesling with a working farm and bistro.
Founded in 1997 on the western shore of Cayuga Lake, Sheldrake Point Winery farms a 60-acre estate vineyard at the water's edge. It is best known for its estate-grown white wines, particularly Riesling, made in a cool-climate, food-friendly style.
The setting is right on the lake, with a tasting room, the Point of Flavor Bistro, and summer evenings of live music and barbecue. Visitors can taste wines by the glass, bottle, or flight and linger with local snacks and lake views.
Tastings spotlight the estate-grown Rieslings and other whites, available by the glass, half-glass, bottle, or flight alongside the Point of Flavor Bistro and Wednesday-night summer music; walk-ins are welcome.
Worth knowing: A 60-acre estate vineyard sits directly on Cayuga Lake, one of the few Finger Lakes wineries planted right at the water's edge.
