Catharine Valley Winery

The hard cider is very good. I think that’s their specialty. I tried the apple pie one and a pear one, both were delicious. The Chardonnay though, not too happy with that. It had kind of a strange taste.

Good view but came at 5 and servers could really care less is we were there. We visited 5 other wineries that were excellent but poor poor customer service

3.5-stars.
This place isn’t terrible and I think it’s worth taking a stop at if you’re on the trail. I think for the amount of money you pay, you get a good variety of wine tastings and it’s more then 5 tastings. You choose which menu, I think it’s between dry and sweets. The view is great, there is a ton of space outside to hang out in the grass and I think there are a couple of chairs, it’s definitely worth taking a glass and relaxing. The décor around the place is beautiful, I really liked how it was decorated and it was just fun and winery-​like.
The downfall is the lack of help here. The gentleman who was working was super nice, but unfortunately he was the only person there and it was overwhelming for him. He was doing the tastings, checking people out at the counter and trying to make sure everyone was on track. He seemed a bit flustered because it was Fourth of July weekend but that is the time to have more people working. I felt bad for him and we were a group of 6 plus a ton of other people around. At least he was super nice so that’s a plus, it would have been worse to have a lack of service with someone rude. I think it’s a place worth trying and I’m sure we will stop in again on our way up the East side!

Loved it last year. Bought many cases. This year you couldn’t get served in an empty place.

The wine sucked and it was very weak. The guy was kind if funny. The view was the best part of the vineyard. It was so beautiful and I enjoyed sitting outdoors.

Just drove here after passing towards
Watskin Glen. The place is an art.
An old small barn with the vines on its walls by the main entrance.
Inside the ambiance was excellent with its French type display had caught my sight.
The patio overlooking lake Seneca was to die for. What a beautiful view.
Their wines are reasonable prices.
Wine tasting was $ 5 bucks. The person doing the wine tasting was efficient.
They got chilled wine as well.
Because of the place itself, I’m bumping it to 4 star.
Big parking space too.
Nice ambiance. Chilled wine was good!

I really loved this place! It is so adorable with some of the best views around. The owners were really friendly and helpful too. Would definitely come back in the future.

Not one of the better vineyards on 414
