Idol Ridge Winery is located on the East side of Seneca Lake just 20 minutes north of Watkins Glen. Perfectly placed up on the ridge, our lodge-style tasting room and outdoor patio allows for a beautiful, picturesque view of Seneca Lake. We offer an array of wines such as our Sparkling Saperavi and Reserve Riesling as well as fruit & honey wines from our Fossenvue brand. In addition to wines, we also craft premium distilled spirits through Alder Creek Disitllery. Our signature spirits include a Smoked Bourbon Whiskey and Best of Class Nashi Pear Brandy.
Enjoy a traditional tasting of both our wines and spirits or sip on a wine, cocktail, or mimosa flight. Our tasting room also offers homemade fudge, local bites, and gifts. We are pet-friendly and accept large groups. Private Airbnb cabins are also available for overnight guests.
In 2023, we are celebrating our 10 year anniversary and have planted a 6 acre vineyard! We invite you to visit us here up on the Ridge where everyone is welcome to sit back, relax, and enjoy the view!
