Dr. Konstantin Frank Vinifera Wine Cellars

We absolutely loved this winery. The Riesling wines were fantastic! The atmosphere was very relaxing, offering beautiful views of the lake. We really enjoyed our time here, and the staff was very knowledgeable!

We have been visiting Finger Lakes wineries for over ten years, and we finally made it to Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery for the first time. Wow, we didn't realize what we had been missing! Their wines and service are exceptional. The white wines are among the best I've ever tasted, and the reds (which are a bit on the drier side, just how I like them) can easily compete with any California wines. Our tasting server, Gillian, was a true delight! She was incredibly knowledgeable about the wines but didn't just tell us what flavors to look for; instead, she encouraged us to discover the flavors ourselves while sharing insights about the history and winemaking process. We loved it so much that we joined the wine club and had two cases shipped to enhance our collection and share with others.

We opted for the 1886 Food Wine Experience, and although it's not inexpensive, it's absolutely worth every dollar. The wines are exceptional, and the bite-sized snacks are delightful; together, they create a perfect pairing. The hostess and chef were outstanding as well.

My husband and I made a reservation for the tasting tour with foods pairing and Alan, our host was amazingly knowledgeable but friendly and not overly pretentious. His tour was at a great pace, filled with history and humor, personable, and fun. Foods were tasty and very fitting with each wine. If you don’t like overly sweet wine, this is the vineyard for you.

We took the 1886 tour and tasting which was an amazing experience. The guide was extremely friendly and informative and the wines and food pairings were delicious. Their management and staff are extremely professional and very accommodating.
