Rooster Hill Vineyards

If your looking for a place with excellent tasting wine, a gorgeous view of the lake, a super friendly, casual, fun vibe and exceptional service this is THE PERFECT place!! I grew up right in the finger lakes with wineries within walking distance from me and this place is the best by far! They have delicious varieties of wine that will please any palate! The owner was there and made sure everything was exceptional! While we were enjoying our tastings, he would check in and ask questions to see how we liked them, after giving him feedback he gave us each another sample of a wine he suggested based on each of our unique palates and likings and he was SPOT ON for each of us! He was so friendly! You can tell how much he takes pride in everything not just the wine but also the service and the overall vibe and ambience. Making sure everyone feels comfortable, laid back, and happy. We had such a great time there that we left with bottles and HAD to come back the next day for the outdoor wood burning pizza oven and more wine with our families and kids. When we got there he welcomed us and gave our kids some juice packets! We played with our kids in the huge lawn/hill, sat in the Adirondack chairs enjoying our pizza, wine and the gorgeous view! Life couldn’t get any better than that! That place was the highlight of our family vacation! If you’re in the area and you don’t check it out you’re missing out.

Found ourselves in Penn Yan, randomly stopped in and it was an amazing decision. Our host with a distinctive Scottish accent was excellent. We lost track and just let him drive. We started out preference and he just started pouring - we enjoyed the ride. The only complaint I have is we weren't offered a menu with a golf pencil. The wine is fantastic, so are the ciders. My wife said it was the best cherry cider she has ever tasted. We both enjoyed the strawberry and was part of our purchase. Don't pass this place up, even consider a special trip.

Loved the port! We spent the night in our RV here as part of our Harvest Host membership and loved the tasting and charcuterie board. We bought a couple of bottles to take with us. Thanks for a beautiful evening on the patio.

Great wine! Great views! Generous hosts! Great conversation! (Graham is awesome!) One of the best winery experiences I’ve had. Don’t miss this one!

We stopped here by chance and it was our best experience of our trip to Finger Lakes. Graham was amazing and very fun...thank you!! Great wine and conversation. Dog friendly.
You must stop here!!!

We had fantastic experience, was not busy got to spend extra time with our tasting server. Chatted about trips to Hawaii, and wines of course. Ended up with more wine than anticipated.

Enjoyed our trip to Rooster Hill! Great wines and wonderful Port! Enjoyed our server, he was very knowledgeable and was fun to talk with! Beautiful scenery as well!! Definitely will go back!!

Staff was very friendly. A nice selection of whites and reds and also dessert wine. Great location near Penn Yan.

Paulo and his team were so fun for our bachelorette group! They really went above and beyond; would definitely recommend!

The views are amazing. The wines even better. A nice place for a group tasting. The staff know all the details on their wines. It makes the tasting enjoyable. You can fully understand and enjoy each wine. The barrel aged Chardonnay is very good.

We had a great experience at Rooster Hill. Great experience drinking a bottle on the beautiful patio. Friendly staff, great wine, fabulous view.

Engaging, friendly staff. The wine is even better!! We'll definitely be back

What an amazing experience. The new ownership has transformed this winery to a can’t miss experience for us in the Finger Lakes. We’ve brought picnics to enjoy with our wine flights and enjoyed their charcuterie with seasoned local cheese curds and fantastic meats from a local farm. The staff were phenomenally nice, provided an ideal level of attentiveness, and even helped us quickly relocate onto a covered area when a thunderstorm broke. We cannot stop with the superlatives about our experience.

Had a great time in on a Sunday afternoon. The staff is amazing and really listen and suggest great choices. I liked the cider and my better half the wines. Highly worth the time and money.

Graham was a delight! Great setting and wines.

Great tasting on the patio with beautiful lake views! We enjoy going for a weekday lunch and bringing a picnic. Charcuterie board is nice too. Great service, no crowds, kid-friendly. Wines are delicious too. Driving back to our rental, at kept saying, "that was SUCH a nice experience!"

Great staff, made for a wonderful experience.
We didn't like a lot of the wines , but to each their own pallet.
We enjoyed their reds more than their whites.

This winery was a nice surprise. The server was outstanding. Very knowledgeable about their products. Great selection of wines and ciders to taste. Fun place!

Came in on Sunday and met Dave. Very personable and knowledgeable (about wine and the local area too). Got to know us on a personal level. Felt welcome and enjoyed the variety of wines, even some of the dry wine, and I'm not usually a fan. Overall a great experience. My wife and I will be back for sure!

Thank you so much, Graham. I loved the place, the wines and the conversations.
