Wine Tasting Room

Services & Process

The wine tasting room pours through the estate's Finger Lakes varietals, covering everything from dry Rieslings to red blends grown on the hillside vineyards above Seneca Lake. The on-site brewery operates separately, offering craft beers that pair well with the food menu available at the property. This means a group with mixed interests, some prefer wine, others beer, can all visit the same destination without compromise. The combination of a working winery, an active brewery, and a restaurant-style food program makes this one of the more complete experiences on the trail.

Service Area

Wagner Vineyards is located in Lodi on Seneca Lake's eastern shore, serving visitors traveling the Cayuga and Seneca Lake wine trails. The property draws travelers from Ithaca, Corning, Watkins Glen, and the broader Finger Lakes region. It's accessible from Route 414 and within driving distance of several other well-known Seneca Lake wineries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Wagner Vineyards offer both wine and beer tasting?
Yes, the property includes both an estate winery and Wagner Valley Brewing Co., which operate as separate but connected experiences. You can taste wine in the tasting room and beer in the brewery space, and the food menu serves both areas.
What food options are available at Wagner Vineyards?
Wagner has a food program that pairs well with both the wine and beer offerings, ranging from light bites to more substantial meals depending on the season. It's one of the few stops on the Seneca Lake trail where you can make a full afternoon of eating, drinking, and exploring.
What wines is Wagner Vineyards known for?
As a Seneca Lake estate winery, Wagner produces the cool-climate classics the region is known for, including Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Noir. The estate vineyards have been in production for decades, so there's genuine depth to the wine program.
Is Wagner Vineyards a good stop for a group with mixed interests?
It's one of the best options for mixed groups on the Finger Lakes wine trail precisely because it has both wine and beer available. People who don't love wine can enjoy craft beer while their companions work through a tasting flight, and everyone can share the food menu.
Does Wagner host events or special dinners?
The property does host seasonal events, wine dinners, and harvest programming throughout the year. Checking their schedule in advance is worthwhile if you want to time your visit around something special, especially during the fall harvest season when Seneca Lake wineries are at their busiest.
How many wines can I taste in a single flight?
Most Finger Lakes tasting rooms, including Wagner, offer flights of five to eight wines, with the option to purchase additional pours of anything that catches your attention. The tasting fee is usually applied toward bottle purchases, which makes it easy to take home the wines you liked best.
