What makes Prejean Winery stand out on the Finger Lakes Wine Trail?

Does Prejean Winery offer wine education programs?
Yes, the winery provides wine education experiences that go beyond a standard tasting, covering subjects like grape varietals, winemaking techniques, and how to pair wines with food. These sessions are great for couples or small groups who want to come away with real knowledge, not just a pleasant afternoon.
Can I buy wine to take home, and do they ship?
Bottles and curated gift sets are available for purchase directly at the tasting room. For shipping availability and out-of-state delivery options, it's best to call (315) 536-7524 since New York wine shipping regulations can vary depending on your destination state.
Is Prejean Winery a good spot for a date or couples outing?
Absolutely. The relaxed tasting room setting and the scenic Penn Yan area make it a natural fit for a romantic afternoon. Some couples also use the winery's private event space for small anniversary dinners or engagement celebrations.
What varietals should I expect to taste at Prejean Winery?
Prejean produces a range of Finger Lakes classics including Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and various red blends suited to the cooler upstate New York climate. The staff can guide you toward the wines that match your personal taste preferences when you arrive.
How long should I plan to spend at a Finger Lakes winery visit?
Most guests spend 45 minutes to an hour and a half at a single winery depending on whether they add a tour or education session to the standard tasting. If you're building a full wine trail day, budgeting about an hour per stop keeps the day from feeling rushed.
