Home · Finger Lakes wineries · Lakewood Vineyards
Lakewood is a relaxed, family-run winery that works particularly well for travelers staying in Watkins Glen. The western Seneca Lake location is only a short drive from town, and the atmosphere is more agricultural and informal than at resort-style properties.
The Signature Tasting is inexpensive and gives visitors a broad look at the family's wines, including Riesling, reds and other cool-climate varieties. Seasonal Vineyard Hikes provide a deeper connection to the land and farming, making Lakewood a useful stop for guests who want to get outside rather than spend the entire day seated in tasting rooms.
Because of the low tasting fee and convenient location, Lakewood is easy to add to a day without turning it into a major financial or scheduling commitment. It is particularly well suited to first-time Finger Lakes travelers, mixed groups and visitors who appreciate a straightforward family winery.
