- 195508Anonymous261 contributionsAwesome Wine Tasting ExperienceWe visited Wagner on a tour of the Finger Lakes. Our host, had literally written the book on wine (it is for sale in the lobby) and he gave us an interesting overview of various grapes, their origin, why the Finger Lakes region is good for wine etc. He highly recommended the Riesling, which we rarely drink. It was awesome and we ended up buying a bottle. We also tried and purchased a Rose that was good as any we have had from CA or France. This is a fun experience and in addition to the wine tastes, you get to keep the glasses!Thanks for taking the time to share your great experience when you visited. We're glad you learned a lot during your guided tasting and love to hear that you enjoyed the Riesling so much that you purchased a bottle to take with you! We hope you can come back again soon!Written 7 July 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited July 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 2 July 2023
- Barun CStamford, Connecticut301 contributionsWonderful wine tasting experiencesWe made a reservation and went for the regular wine tasting. We enjoyed it so much (specially liked the semi-dry Riesling) that we went back for the Library Wine Tasting; here you get to taste a recent and older version of the same wine and get to see the difference. This was also a lot of fun.Thanks for taking the time to leave a review after your visits! We're glad you enjoyed it so much that you wanted to come back again to try our Library Wine tasting. We appreciate you letting us know you had fun tasting the different vintages as much as the regular current vintage tasting. We hope you can come back again soon!Written 10 July 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited July 2023Written 6 July 2023

The wines were our favourite along the trail, and the views are spectacular. We could've stayed here all day! Didn't get a chance to try the brewery, but the pours looked great. Definitely would go back!Thanks for taking the time to share what made your visit excellent! We love hearing when our staff is able to help create a memorable experience.

- Rollin M1 contributionWine Tasting with John Pulos at Wagner VineyardsWagner Vineyards is one of the top tier wineries in the FLX. Their wines are exceptional. Especially the Cabernet-Franc. I have been coming to Wagner for years. I aways make it a point to reserve a tasting John Pulos. John is a legend in the FLX. He is a former educator, restaurateur, and author. His knowledge of wines, the wine industry and the FLX are exemplary. Every time I taste with John I learn some thing new. I highly recommend Wagner Winery and a reserve Tasting with John Pulos. You will be impressed and walk away with knowledge from the tasting experience! Cheers!!Thanks for taking the time to leave such a great review of your guided wine tasting with John! We're glad you have enjoyed learning some of the vast knowledge that John has to share about the region, the wine, and Wagner Vineyards. We hope you can come back again soon!Written 10 August 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited August 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 5 August 2023
- prettybirdSarasota, Florida968 contributionsGreat Winery, Brewery, and Restaurant!We loved this place for all it offered. We scheduled a Library Reserve tasting which was nice. They did a comparison tasting with the standard wines to their reserve wines. We also had lite bites from their Ginnie Lee restaurant and did a flight of Octoberfest and like beers. We bought several bottles of wine and had our growler filled with their new Octoberfest feature Lager. Beautiful grounds right on Seneca Lake and a wonderful time spent! Don’t miss this while visiting as it offers so much in one stop.Thanks for sharing your great experience! We're thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful time and were able to enjoy wine, beer, and lunch during your visit. We hope you can come back again soon!Written 1 November 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 11 October 2023
- NathanWorld1 contributionJohn Pulos is the bestMy wife and I met John Pulos during a wine tasting in October 2022. I don't much care for wine myself (I had a beer from the brewery) but you're getting far more than a tasting when you're with him. He happily shared his vast knowledge of wine, its history, and the region. His dry sense of humor is refreshing from the snobbery you can often find around wine. When we visited the finger lakes a year later, we made it a point to visit Wagner and, thankfully, managed another tasting with John. It's a unique experience. You absolutely will not get this anywhere else in the region. Looking forward to another visit in in 2024!Thanks for leaving a great review of your visit! We love hearing that our guests had fun while learning all about wine and had a memorable experience. We hope to see you again soon!Written 1 November 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 16 October 2023
- 648edwardkGansevoort, New York17 contributionsWagner Wines are exceptional!We went on the recommendation of my long time friend and your distributor, Bob Trimble from PA. We sat down and John Poulos, was fun, educational, quick witted and just a blast to learn from. He made the event outstanding and after hearing about his background as a teacher and restaurant owner, I knew it would be great. John made our time tasting great wine so much fun. My friend Bob was right, it’s a must stop on the tasting trail.Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and share what made your visit great! We are lucky to have John in our tasting room with his wealth of knowledge and a knack for sharing it in a fun and memorable way.

- David P2 contributionsWine tasting with JohnOur wine tasting experience with John was amazing. We specifically came back to Wagners to wine taste with him. He had a great blend of knowledge, passion, and engagement that captivated us unlike any other. We know more about wine and the merlot blackbird all because of him. Strongest recommendation if you love history and wine to reserve John on the whole hour for a tasting at Wagners. A total must.Thanks for taking the time to write such a lovely review!

Beautiful view, open air seating. We went for a tasting but ordered it outside so no one went over it with us. I love sweet wines- these were okay.
