Home · Finger Lakes wineries · Wagner Vineyards Estate Winery
Wagner is one of the Finger Lakes' most versatile visitor stops because the estate combines a winery, brewery and café. That mix makes it particularly useful for groups where not everyone wants to spend the afternoon focused exclusively on wine. The property overlooks Seneca Lake from the east side and has substantial visitor facilities.
Wine flights can cover a very broad range: Wagner grows many grape varieties and produces dry Riesling, aromatic whites, reds, sparkling and sweeter styles. Guests can choose a guided tasting for more discussion or a more flexible self-guided flight when available. Beer from Wagner Valley Brewing provides a completely different option without leaving the property.
The café turns Wagner into a natural lunch stop. A group can taste wine, sample beer and eat in one location, which reduces driving and makes the estate one of the easiest places to spend 90 minutes or more on a Finger Lakes itinerary.

Planning a day around Wagner Vineyards Estate Winery
Use Wagner as the meal anchor on the east side of Seneca Lake. Pair it with Hazlitt, Lamoreaux Landing or Boundary Breaks. Avoid crossing to west-side wineries mid-day because driving around the lake can consume a large portion of the itinerary.
