Sample wines in our restored 1800s barn overlooking vineyards and Seneca Lake
Visit and enjoy tastings in our exquisitely restored 1800s barn and grape packing house.
Our tasting room overlooks one of the east’s largest vinifera vineyards with a spectacular view of Seneca Lake. It features a redwood and oak bar handcrafted from recycled wine tanks and a 3-story fireplace made from native stone.
Caywood Vineyards tasting room is only steps away from the Finger Lakes National Forest, an area of over 16,000 acres for hiking, biking, camping, horseback riding, snowshoeing, and more.
If you love wine and you love the outdoors, consider us the crossroads for a wonderful experience!
Caywood is a proud member of the Pleasant Valley Wine Company family of businesses. Pleasant Valley, based in Hammondsport, is U.S. Bonded Winery No. 1 and the home of Great Western Champagnes.
Caywood Vineyards is the Seneca Lake tasting room for all of the Pleasant Valley Wine brands. You can taste the following brands in our tasting room:
Great Western
America’s most beloved Champagne for 145 years, Great Western is the official champagne of Watkins Glen International and the National Women’s Hall of Fame Induction and has enhanced the wine lists of some of the most prestigious hotels and restaurants in the United States.
Pleasant Valley
For well more than a century, Pleasant Valley has produced some of the finest ports and sherries. Our Marsala, Madeira and Cooking Sherry may be found in the kitchens of prominent restaurants across the country.
Widmer
We acquired the famed Widmer’s brand from Constellation Brands in 2013. Widmer’s innovative sizes and packaging has helped make it for 50 years among the most popular wines in Upstate New York.
Autumn Frost
The refreshingly drinkable Blackberry Merlot, Strawberry White Zinfandel, and Peach Chardonnay make Autumn Frost one of our most popular brands, especially on warm summer days.
Gold Seal
Founded in 1865 as the Urbana Wine Company, Gold Seal held New York State’s bonded winery No. 2. The Company produced fine champagnes and was one of the early developers of Finger Lakes viniferas. The Gold Seal Catawba Pink is legendary and continues to be among our top sellers.
Millennium
We released Millennium in 1999 to commemorate the turn of the century. It was so popular we kept it around. Our Millennium is made from Chardonnay grapes from the Doyle Family Caywood Vineyards on the east side of Seneca Lake.
Brickstone Cellars
A premium brand, we make popular Brut and Extra Dry champagnes under the Brickstone name. We introduced Brickstone Cellars varietals in late 2019.
