Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a reservation for a tasting at Ravines Wine Cellars?
Walk-ins are often welcome, but reservations are a smart idea during peak summer weekends and fall harvest season. Calling ahead at (315) 781-7007 takes about two minutes and guarantees you a spot at the bar.
What kinds of wine does Ravines specialize in?
Ravines is known for dry, Alsatian-style Rieslings and other European-influenced varietals suited to the Finger Lakes climate. Their whites tend to be crisp and mineral-driven rather than sweet, which sets them apart from many regional producers.
Is there a tasting fee, and does it apply toward a bottle purchase?
Yes, there's typically a tasting fee for a flight of wines. Many wineries in the Finger Lakes apply part or all of that fee toward a bottle purchase, so it's worth asking the staff when you arrive.
Can I bring a group to the tasting room?
Small groups are generally welcome for standard tastings. Larger groups or private party bookings should contact the winery directly to arrange appropriate space and staffing.
Does Ravines ship wine to other states?
Direct-to-consumer wine shipping laws vary by state, so availability depends on where you live. The tasting room staff can tell you exactly which states they're currently licensed to ship to.
What's the best time of year to visit Finger Lakes wineries?
Late summer through October is peak season, when the vineyards are active and harvest events are happening across the region. That said, spring visits are quieter and often just as enjoyable if you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere.
