Services & Process

As a full winery operation, Pellicano Vineyard handles everything from growing fruit through fermentation and bottling. Visitors can expect a tasting room experience that reflects the hands-on nature of a small production winery, where the wines you sample are made on the property. Vineyard tours are a natural fit for this type of operation, giving guests a look at how conditions near Lake Erie influence the grapes from vine to glass. Purchasing wines directly from the winery is often the only way to access limited production bottles before they sell out.

Service Area

Pellicano Vineyard Hamburg Winery primarily serves visitors from Hamburg, Lackawanna, Orchard Park, and the greater Buffalo area. It's a convenient destination for South Buffalo residents and Erie County locals who want to explore wine without crossing into Niagara County. Day-trippers from the Southern Tier also make their way up along the lakeshore.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where exactly is Hamburg Winery located, and how do I get there?
The winery is in Hamburg, NY, south of Buffalo along the Lake Erie shoreline corridor. You can call (716) 649-0894 for specific directions and to confirm current hours before heading out.
What makes Lake Erie shoreline wines different from Finger Lakes wines?
Lake Erie's southern shore benefits from a slightly milder climate moderated by the lake, which suits certain grape varieties particularly well. The soil composition and lake effect also differ, resulting in wines with their own regional character that stands apart from the more widely marketed Finger Lakes style.
Can I tour the vineyard when I visit?
Small production wineries like this one often welcome vineyard visits, especially during the growing and harvest seasons. Calling ahead to ask is the best approach since availability can depend on what's happening on the property that day.
Does the winery sell bottles for purchase during a visit?
Yes, buying directly from the winery is a common part of the tasting room experience. Limited production wines especially tend to sell through the tasting room rather than through distribution channels, so visiting in person gives you the best selection.
Is Pellicano Vineyard a good spot for a group outing?
Small production wineries generally enjoy hosting groups, though it's wise to give them advance notice when you're bringing more than a few people. A quick phone call lets them prepare and ensures your group gets proper attention during the tasting.
What varietals should I expect to find at a Hamburg-area winery?
The Lake Erie region is well-suited to Concord, Niagara, and other native varieties, but many producers have shifted toward traditional vinifera and hybrid varietals in recent decades. You're likely to find a mix that reflects both the region's heritage and more contemporary winemaking approaches.
