Wine Tasting Room

Services & Process

Agricolae's tasting room is the primary point of contact for visitors, offering curated pours of their estate-grown wines in an intimate setting. Because it's an estate operation, the wines you taste come directly from vines grown on their own property, giving each bottle a traceable origin. The tasting experience is geared toward guests who want to understand what they're drinking, not just sample it. Staff are typically well-versed in the estate's growing practices, so conversations about terroir and vintage variation are part of the visit.

Service Area

Agricolae serves visitors to Hammondsport and the Keuka Lake wine corridor, welcoming guests from across the Finger Lakes and beyond. It's a natural fit for travelers already exploring the Keuka Lake Wine Trail and looking for an estate-focused experience alongside the region's larger operations. Day visitors from Rochester, Binghamton, and the Southern Tier frequently include it in their Finger Lakes wine stops.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'estate winery' mean and why does it matter?
An estate winery grows its own grapes on-site rather than sourcing fruit from outside farms. At Agricolae, that means everything you taste in the tasting room comes from their own vineyards, giving the wines a consistent sense of place.
Is Agricolae suitable for first-time wine tasters?
Yes, the tasting room staff are happy to guide newcomers through the lineup without assuming prior wine knowledge. The estate format actually makes it easier for beginners to follow along, since all the wines share a common origin.
Do I need to book a tasting in advance?
It's a good idea to call ahead, especially on weekends or during fall harvest season. You can reach Agricolae at (607) 292-7007 to check availability and confirm hours before making the drive.
What varietals does Agricolae focus on?
As an estate winery in the Finger Lakes, Agricolae likely focuses on cool-climate varietals that thrive on the Keuka Lake hillsides, including Riesling, Cabernet Franc, and possibly Pinot Noir. Calling ahead or visiting their tasting room is the best way to get a current picture of the lineup.
Can I visit Agricolae as part of a wine trail trip?
Absolutely. Hammondsport is one of the anchor stops on the Keuka Lake Wine Trail, and Agricolae fits naturally into a day of visiting multiple wineries in the area. Their focused, estate-driven style offers a nice contrast to larger, more commercial operations nearby.
Does Agricolae host private tastings or special events?
For information on private tastings or events, it's best to reach out directly at (607) 292-7007. Estate wineries of this size often accommodate small private groups with some advance notice and planning.
