Stever Hill Vineyards

Stever Hill Vineyards operates out of Branchport, New York, a small lakeside community at the western end of Keuka Lake, one of the most visually stunning of the Finger Lakes. With a 4.2-star rating from 41 reviewers, it's a well-regarded stop on the Keuka Lake wine trail, which draws visitors looking for a quieter alternative to the busier Seneca Lake corridor. Branchport's elevated vineyard sites offer excellent views of the Y-shaped lake below. The combination of scenery and quality wine keeps guests coming back.

Stever Hill Vineyards offers wine tastings featuring estate-grown wines that reflect Keuka Lake's unique growing conditions, including the cold air drainage and reflected sunlight that the lake provides. Vineyard tours let guests walk the property and get a closer look at how the terraced hillside sites are farmed. The winery also hosts private events and gatherings, making use of its scenic views as a natural backdrop. Wine purchases and gift options are available in the tasting room for visitors who want to bring a piece of Keuka Lake home.

Stever Hill Vineyards serves wine visitors in Branchport and throughout the Keuka Lake region, drawing guests from Penn Yan, Hammondsport, and the southern tier of New York. Day-trippers from Rochester, Corning, and Bath regularly include it on their Keuka Lake wine trail itineraries. The winery is within easy driving distance of several other notable producers on both the eastern and western branches of the lake.
