ABOUT

200+ Years of Family Tradition

Caleb Fulkerson first settled the land that Fulkerson Winery now occupies in 1805. The farm has remained in the Fulkerson family for all 200+ years, through six generations. Fulkerson Winery started as a juice plant in 1979, selling grape juice and wine making equipment to home wine makers, and joined the other Finger Lakes wineries in 1989. The Fulkerson family is extremely proud to continue the tradition of high quality grape growing and winemaking excellence.

Visitors can come home to the Fulkerson farm with a stay at The Farmhouse at Fulkerson Winery, a vacation rental home located just north of the winery. Originally built in 1856 by Jane Norman Fulkerson, the house has been completely updated and includes 4 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, a modern eat-in kitchen with microwave and gas range, HDTV with DVD player, and a large porch. Gorgeous views of Seneca Lake and the Fulkerson vineyards provide the perfect backdrop for your wine country stay.

WINES

Fulkerson Winery grows their award-winning wines on 106 acres of vineyards. The vineyards are a mix of well-known grapes and some lesser known varieties that have been introduced to the wine list.  Riesling, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Lemberger, Noiret, Dornfelder, Vincent, Traminette, Niagara, Catawba and Himrod are just a handful of the varieties grown for wine production.
