Heron Hill Winery

ABOUT THE WINERY AND TASTING ROOMS
Heron Hill Winery was chosen as one of the ten most spectacular tasting rooms in the world by Travel + Leisure! For over 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. The 2007 Ingle Vineyard Riesling won “Best Riesling” at the 2010 Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition!

In 2006, Heron Hill opened a tasting room and gift shop on the West side of Seneca Lake. Located on Route 14 in Himrod, this facility exemplifies everything Heron Hill, from the customer service to the elegant wines.

In 2010, Heron Hill opened another tasting room and gift shop in Bristol, south of Canandaigua near Bristol Harbour Resort. This third location is on the West side of Canandaigua Lake. The tasting room features a beautiful open space with high ceilings and original hand-hewn wooden beams. Immense windows overlook vineyards of Cabernet Franc and Riesling with plans to plant more in the future.

ABOUT INGLE VINEYARD ON CANANDAIGUA LAKE

We are in the midst of a green revolution. To the owner of Heron Hill Winery, John Ingle, going green means giving respect. Respect for the land by farming sustainably and respect for the product by making it natural, fresh and healthful. Most importantly it means respect for the consumer by giving them his very best product and by educating them about Heron Hill’s long-term goals of environmental balance.

John is truly committed to living and farming sustainably. It can be as simple as letting the grasses and plants grow around the vineyards instead of mowing them down. This allows the plants to go to flower, attracting beneficial insects which in turn protect the vines from harmful insects. By letting the grasses grow and avoiding herbicide use we can prevent erosion and avoid chemical runoff into the lakes, streams and the ground water table.

People have become very conscious of what goes into their bodies and from where food originates. Wine is a food product and needs to be handled in a caring, safe and healthful manner. It is important to Heron Hill that by farming sustainably, we gain consumer trust and allegiance as well as ensure the future viability of our farms. Read more about Ingle Vineyard.
