Frequently Asked Questions

Is Quarry Ridge Winery open year-round?
Hours and seasonal availability can vary for smaller boutique producers, so it's best to call ahead or check their current schedule before visiting. Many Finger Lakes tasting rooms reduce hours in winter months but remain open on weekends.
What makes a boutique tasting room different from a larger winery?
At a place like Quarry Ridge, you're often tasting with the winemaker or a staff member who knows every detail about production, from the soil to the harvest date. The smaller guest count means you get real conversation and attention rather than a rushed group experience.
Can I bring a group to Quarry Ridge for a tasting?
Small groups are generally welcome, though it's courteous to call ahead so the staff can prepare. For larger parties or private events, contacting them directly to discuss options is the way to go.
What wine styles does Quarry Ridge produce?
Cayuga Lake's cool climate favors aromatic whites like Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Cayuga White, a variety developed specifically for the region. Expect wines that reflect the lake's moderating influence, with good acidity and fresh fruit character.
How do I get to Union Springs from Ithaca?
Union Springs is roughly 30 minutes north of Ithaca along the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake, making it an easy half-day trip. Route 90 runs right along the lake and passes through several wine trail stops along the way.
Does Quarry Ridge offer wine to ship directly to my home?
New York wineries are permitted to ship wine directly to many states, but availability depends on the destination state's laws. It's worth asking the staff about their shipping options when you visit or call.
