An 1800’s gambrel barn adjacent to the vineyards served as their tasting room from 1985 to 2004. In 2004 a new facility overlooking Keuka Lake was constructed to accommodate greater tasting room traffic and increased wine production. The winery is known for a wide selection of premium wines and has received recognition for both red and white wines. In 1999, Keuka Spring Vineyards was awarded the Governor’s Cup for their Cabernet Franc. More recently, their Gewurztraminer was selected as the Best White Wine Sweepstakes Winner in the San Francisco Chronicle Competition. Other highlights include Best of Class Awards, Double Gold medals, and write-ups in Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine & Spirits. Today the winery sees over 35,000 tasting room visitors per year.

We get some of the most pleasant weather and the colors and scenery can be spectacular. The grapes in the vineyard are near ripe and you can feel that fall is just approaching. Kickin’ Back is exactly what their name says: relaxed, enjoyable, familiar, and fun music to enjoy on a late summer’s day.” Keuka Spring Vineyards is located at 243 State Route 54, East Lake Road, just outside of Penn Yan on the east side of Keuka Lake. Owners Len and Judy Wiltberger have been committed to producing premium wines since they founded the winery in 1985.
