Anyela's Vineyards

This winery is part of Farm Fest & I had never been to a winery so, we went today. Gorgeous grounds, wonderful staff & the owner was so nice & informative. We were able to take a beautiful tour with the owner & learned how winery is made. From root to your belly! I thought it was very interesting!

All was great. My husband was really enjoyed it our time in here. The scenery was pretty, the service was great, for the wine there was something he didn’t like but there’s one wine he enjoy it he bought one bottle home. Pizza was also good seems homemade. Nice place to hang out and chill.

This winery has an amazing view facing the Finger Lakes with a patio to sit, drink, eat and relax . It was my first time vising a vineyard, and I was impress, Beautifully manicured garden and a Relaxing Gazebo seating area to taste the local family owned wine. I had such a beautiful experience just walking through the grapevines and just tasting a few, from right off the vine.

Anyela's Vineyard is the gem of Vineyards in Skaneateles! It is also the only one I am aware of given the high cost of land in the area. This large vineyard offers some great views, a nice facility and the best reds I have ever had in New York State! All of the (4) reds I tried were amazing and unique. The whites were a hit a well and on par or better than most others in the region. We came at an off peak time of year, but we can see how this location would be packed during prime season. They have a jazz festival with attracts thousands of visitors each year. There is a specialty room (lower level accessed from outside) which is available for parties. Carter was our wine expert on our visit. From the area and knowledgeable not only about the winery but the lake and geography of the area as well. Who knew it is the finger lake at the highest elevation and boasts some of the cleanest water in the United States. He added interesting insight to our experience. We will return again! HINT: If you are looking for an excuse to visit the area (Summer concerts and live music along with a Charles Dickenson Christmas Carol events during the weekend (the later in town). The area is beautiful and somewhere worthy of checking out!

The property and views are great. The sweet Riesling was my favorite, the reds I tried were pretty good.

This winery has an amazing view facing the finger lakes with a patio to sit, drink and eat. It was my first time coming here, so I tried the wine tasting. I loved their wine so much, I bought five bottles to bring home to share with family and friends. Will return this summer!

Wow. Had a Red Tasting, every single wine would be my favorite if you added it to other tastings I’ve had elsewhere. Potentially the best Can Franc I’ve ever had. The Overlay was like a superhero blend, wild flavor, Shiraz mouth feel, and warm finish. Elation was so refreshing yet flavorful, and even the Noiret was delightful with its peppery finish. Also, the Chardonnay is absolutely the best in the Fingerlakes, seriously. The only Port I have enjoyed more was in the Douro valley. This place is a gem. Didn’t eat but the pizza looked and smelled delicious. Must visit.

Love this winery! Great staff. Beautiful views.. amazing wine... thank you!!

Anyela's vineyard is located about 10 minutes from downtown Skaneateles. It is located on a beautiful property and offers some gorgeous views. I'm not sure if customers are able to walk the vineyards because it was raining when we got there. We stopped in for wine tastings - $20 for the preset menus and $25 for selecting your own wines. The tasting includes 4 wines and I thought the pours were generous. We also ordered a pepperoni pizza with hot honey to share and it was delicious. The service at the vineyard is a little strange because we sat in the main room upon entry but were told to go pick up our pizza in a different room. Thankfully they weren't very busy and the sweet lady that poured our wine ended up bringing the pizza over to us. They have 3 or 4 different rooms you can sit in. We chose the main room with both low top and high tops, one room had a fireplace to snuggle up next to in cooler months, and then the outdoor seating where they had live music allowed you to feel the breeze and see some views. The wine was good - our favorite of the day being the Cayuga White so we purchased a bottle to share which is a much better deal than buying by the $12 glass. This is a great place to hangout with friends or go on a date. It wasn't too busy on a Saturday afternoon but steady and very enjoyable. We played cards while we sat and drank and it was a wonderful time.

This was a wine dinner pairing held by the Sherwood Inn at Anyela's. The Sherwood Inn will occasionally hold these pairing events but at different locations. I love that idea as it allows exposure to a variety of locations. The food was tasty and seasonal incorporating produce from leeks to beets. Also fruits from apples to cranberries. The wine selections were paired well with the food and throughly introduced. Very delicious!

One of the few open on Sundays. Great friendly service. We shared a flight of reds and a flight of whites. Elation was our favorite and purchased a couple of bottles. Great setup for any kind of weather. Not right on the water but landscape and buildings were easy to relax

100% absolutely recommend Anyela's! The building and landscaping are stunning. I loved that there were so many different spaces with completely different ambiance's to enjoy. The staff is wonderful. The wines are delicious.We did not have food while we were there, but it looked delicious. Perfect excuse to go back! The live music was great.

I am normally impressed by this winery, but on a Friday afternoon, they only had two staff working. The tables were dirty, they didn't have anything to keep wine bottles cold, they didn't have ice available for us either we were told to bus our own tables, but there was still nothing to wipe tables off with. Very disappointed! This is a beautiful place but not run well.

Love this winery even on a rainy day. They have outdoor covered seating so it works. The landscape is beautiful. The wine is great. We all got a flight. Their prosciutto pizza was surprisingly good too.

This is a beautiful place for a wine tasting! We had our wine outside in the gazebo, but there are places to drink your wine inside as well. The outside is amazing though and professionally landscaped, so I'd recommend that. This was a little pricier than some other tastings, at $20-$25, but we also got more wine than usual, with about 6 ounces in each glass. We left with two bottles. Try it out!

The food was delicious and the wine tasting was yummy and easy to follow! Great views and music

Go for the wine. Stay for that ... and the views. Excellent quality whites including Riesling, Pinot Grigio, and Senza. Staff is very welcoming and knowledgeable. Sit outside and soak in the sun and views. Worth a stop any time you're in CNY.

Visited here on my own in September & came back with my fiance in May The view of the lake is so calming & the service at the tasting counter was awesome both times! The Riesling & Senza are my favorite white wines offered. My fiance loved the Cab. We also tried their fruit liquors & decided to buy all 3 flavors! Great spot for a relaxing afternoon & they also had live music !

A favorite winery of mine for its beautiful property, delicious wines, and tasty pizza. Come for the live music from 3-6pm on Saturdays. Love that they added sundaes to the menu!

I can review this place at least once a year, right? Their wines have only gotten better over the years, and, while pricey, you're definitely paying for the ambiance, not just the food and drinks. The charcuterie board is pretty good to split between 2-3 people, a pizza between 2-4 as it's actually huge. Live music on Saturdays 3-6, but get there by 2 if you want a seat with a good view of the band.

Great place to go on a sunny afternoon. Good wine, good wine good wine. Great views. Good service.

This winery has some very nice wines. All priced around $20. It has a lot of seating. I was shocked that the tastings were $20 each!!! That's the cost of a whole bottle and these were NOT generous pours! There are only 3 tasting options; Red, White and variety which had the same white and red selections. I understand it's the Skaneateles area however $20 for 5 small tastings is ridiculous! This isn't Napa! Location is not on the lake.

The employees are all wonderful, they're kind and knowledgeable. The view of the lake is breathtaking, the beautiful grape vines are a bonus as the look over the lake. The wine is tasty, I love the Albariño. They have great outdoor seating, and plenty of indoor seating in the winter.

We have visited this winery numerous times. We've always loved the Avail wine. We always get a bottle and sit outside and enjoy the views. On this particular day, we decided to try a different white wine. We chose either the Pinot Gris or the dry riesling. I cannot remember which one. Anyway, after our first glass, which we weren't really impressed with, we poured a second. The second glass tasted worse and was cloudy. We looked in the bottle and noticed a bunch of sediment on the bottom. It smelled like apple cider vinegar. I took it inside to the tasting counter and showed the girl that was doing the tastings. She explained that it's normal for wine to be cloudy with sediment. I've had hundreds of different white wines and this is the first that I've ever had that was cloudy with sediment. Anyway, she poured us each a tasting of a different white wine because we couldn't finish the bottle we bought. I felt like we were looked down upon because we couldn't appreciate the cloudy/sour wine.

Get here. What can I say. Beautiful view. Nice atmosphere. Great wines. Good food. Get you some.

Anyela's has beautiful grounds that overlook Skaneateles! The winery is truly beautiful, so many different places to sit outside. The wines are pretty good, their flights are nice (slightly expensive but I think you pay for the views). Limited food options like a charcuterie board, which was very average, but thats okay- not every place has to be known for their food.

Have to say a great winery and view. The tasting was a little awkward. Only two different flights during this day. Hopefully, you get to taste their full menu and choose. We enjoyed some of the wines which is typical, usually have few misses due to our tastes. I would recommend this as a visit.

I absolutely love this place and have enjoyed my visit each and every time. This winery is located a few miles outside the village of Skaneateles, located on a hill top overlooking the lake. It is a very large winery. In the summer there is a outdoor stage and plenty of outdoor seating. We have only gone in the winter, but it's still a magical place! Upon entering you will see there are 3 separate rooms for seating. To the left, there is a large room with a wine bar counter, many tables and stairs that lead to upstairs seating. To the right, there is a checkout counter, two wine bars, a retail wine area and comfortable couch area for tasting. Beyond this room is a room with tables, snack stand, and fireplace (we always sit in that room) full of windows with natural light. Now for the tasting! You can chose two options $15 gets you 4 glasses of chosen white wine or a flight or red chosen wines. For $20 you can pick 4 of whatever you want. The pours are always a great amount. You can also buy a bottle of any wine and get glasses to drink just that. For snack they have: lots of different cheese, cracks, cheese spreads, nuts, and bread. They have music sometimes inside in the winter. This place is a must try, it's perfect for a date night. We recently dragged our friends along because we like this place so much and they enjoyed it. Oh and I forgot to mention, dog friendly both inside and out!!!

Beautiful location, lots of seating across a lovely landscaped area that covers acres of ground , and a wonderful selection of reds and whites.

On days with music, I would come before 2pm. Overall a beautiful venue that's great way to spend a few hours. I've been coming every year for at least the last 7, I'm not seeing it stop anytime soon.

What a beautiful vineyard and winery! The grounds and overlook of the lake are enough to make them stand out from other wineries I've been to. With respect to the wines, they were exactly what you expected; the Cab Franc was bright and fruity, the Pinot Noir Reserve was bold, and the Albariño was refreshing. We tried 5 different bottles and were happy with each of them. Wineries like this are great at making it an experience rather than just a place to drink. I can't wait to visit again in the summer when it's a bit warmer. They have a small outdoor stage for bands and a gardens to walkthrough. They have a selection of cheeses and crackers for those that want some munchies, but they don't have a kitchen or anything to that size. For those looking to bring dogs, we did see furry friends outside but not in the tasting room.

Wine and service were great, beautiful venue & great jazz on a Saturday afternoon. Highly recommend.

Ahh lovely Anyela's! I came here the other week with my mom and sister. We had a great time, really love how organized they are with their tastings and everything amid this stupid COVID pandemic. Anyways, I love their wine and atmosphere, also the guys who waited on us were so sweet and super knowledgeable about all the wine. We will for sure be back sometime soon!!

Great wine and atmosphere! Easily accommodated a large group. We enjoyed their wine tasting flights. They also offer charcuterie boards and pizza if you are hungry.

We were recently in Skaneateles for a little get away. We went to Anyela's on a Saturday evening. I think it was the best time we had out of all We did! They had live music, wine was good and the pepperoni pizza hit the spot. It was the best meal we had in Skaneateles (sad to say)! It was relaxing and we loved the comfy chairs in the loft. We were sad the night ended so soon. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely go back to Anyela's.

They were pretty busy when we got in, though that's not too surprising given it was Mother's Day. They probably should've been a little more prepared for it, as they had an unstaffed, empty overflow table and told us to wait for someone to leave, which they said would only be a minute. A few minutes in, though, as the people currently tasting were being slow, they went and got another person to fill the overflow table - that person was super friendly and helpful... amusingly, I only learned as we were leaving, it was the owner of the winery(!) (guess he wanted to keep it low-key?) Anyway, glad they realized they shouldn't keep us waiting for too long (it was only a couple minutes before they went and grabbed someone). Anyway, it's $5 to taste 5 specific wines, or $10 to taste any 5 wines off their larger list. Most of the wines I was most interested in were on their $5 tasting anyway, so we did that one. The wines I wrote down notes for include a pretty good off-dry Riesling (not the *best* I've had in the area, but I've had a lot of Riesling now, obviously - it was still quite solid), a *very* tasty rose of pinot noir and reisling(!) (you could definitely taste both of those, such an interesting combination - super smooth, just a tiny bit sweet, with notes of cranberry and cherry, tons of fun), and a blend of pinot, cab franc, noiret and cayuga white(!), which I thought was just good, not amazing, but still, that is a really interesting blend, so I applaud them for going outside the box. The other weird thing was they charge $5 extra to taste their one port, even though the port isn't even that expensive - I asked, apparently it's because not that many people want to try it (seems like a bit of a vicious cycle there), so they end up having to toss open bottles. I don't know why people wouldn't want to try it, it's completely delicious - one of the better ports I've had. A bit on the light side, but the perfect amount sweet (for a dessert wine, I mean), very smooth, and full of flavor. And I'm happy to say when we said we all (5 of us) wanted to share one taste of the port, he poured it quite generously, at least. As for the view - the view from the tasting room itself is nothing special, but if it isn't raining (like it was when we were there), the view from the outside *patio* of the tasting is quite beautiful.

Gorgeous location overlooking some beautiful scenery and Skaneateles lake. We got $15 tasting flights which had different kinds of white/red or you can get your own choices in flight for $20 or get a bottle to share. There was an option to make your own picnic basket with cheese/crackers or bread too.

We made a quick pit stop for a wine flight before going to get massages at Mirbeau Inn. It was such a relaxing place, they have an expansive beautiful grounds with great views to sit and enjoy your wine. We shared one wine flight and really loved every one. Will definitely be back

I enjoyed my visit. I got lots of head pats in their indoor and outdoor seating areas. My human likes their wines and views of the lake.

This place is in an absolutely beautiful location. It would be great for a special event venue. The grounds, gardens and vineyard are impeccable maintaine. We had to flights or 4 wires, 2 reds and 2 Rosas. All were very good. I bought two bottles of rose (can't remember the name but it was a bubbly) to the lake house rental and they did not last long. The charcuterie board was delicious and paired well with the wines. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. A perfect way to spend a lazy afternoon.

It was so beautiful here. We went on a Tuesday during the day so it was quiet, and perfect patio weather during fall. We did a red flight for $15 and a choose your own flight for $20. They had little bags of snacks to comply with COVID restrictions and they had a cooler with little cheese/meat trays you could purchase. I'm not sure what is different on the weekends but this place would be perfect if they had more snacking options like a charcuterie board, etc. There was a lot of space, inside and outside and the views were to die for. Overall great experience.

What a wonderful experience! The prices are outstanding too! It's cheaper to buy a bottle than glasses. I had the avail blend and it was delicious- not too sweet and not too dry. You can see the lake from your seat outside in many spots and the inside seating was spaced out and comfortable. The bathrooms were clean. It was really an outstanding place to take friends and family. I was told about this place about someone in town and so happy I heard about it. It's not far from the main strip of town. They request you order food with your wine so there's cheaper food like $1 bags of chips or snacks and then there's local cheese curds and a great tomato herb oil which they give you a loaf of bread for (I recommend this!). Very welcoming friendly service. This was my first time out here and I loved it and so did my company. I definitely look forward to coming back and next time I see their wine in the store, I'll pick it up.

I'm actually being pretty generous with this rating only because the view was so spectacular. We decided to stop here because it was listed as one of the top attractions in Skaneateles. I was greeted by a nice attentive lad who explained how the tastings worked. (either by the bottle, glass, or flight) He strongly suggested getting a flight because of the value compared to a glass. My dad and I decided to split a flight ($20) he likes dry red wines and I like sweet white ones. Based on his recommendation, I thought we were going to get a generous sample of 4 wines, which ended up not being the case .... essentially we ended up getting 1oz of a pour per wine (4oz in total) Ouch!! The wines were OK, nothing to write home about. The view and the ambience was pretty though. We saw a group of people who gathered with a bottle of wine and a deck of cards. (now that was the way to go) Did I mention , we had to buy a bag of chips for $1 (I know Cuomo's rule but still....) Ended up being an expensive 15 min trip. Maybe if I had the money to spend , the experience would be better , but this winery was a bit too swanky for my budget.

Great winery overlooking Skaneteles Lake. Definitely worth a visit if your in the area.

We went here for my birthday. We decided to two wine floats. The red and white. I definitely preferred the white one. I gave it only 4 stars because I wish they had food, better food besides chips. Since the State of NY requires people to purchase food with alcohol, they can surely provide substantial items. Other than that, the winery is beautiful

Beautiful setting right on Skaneatles Lake...one of the top 10 cleanest lakes in the US. The views are amazing so make sure to outside. It reminded me of some nice wineries on the West Coast. We each bough a glass of wine and the charcuterie platter. It was okay, nothing spectacular but good with the wine. I definitely will bring friends here when they visit our new summer house and also want to come when there is live music!

Beautiful views great wine! Offers both inside and outside seating. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff

Anyela's Vineyards, simply put, another lovely stop on the Finger Lakes wine trail. Drive about ten minutes from downtown Skaneateles and you'll reach the windy, pebble road that leads to the lovely grounds of this vineyard. When we arrived, the wine bar was VERY BUSY for tastings, so we instead opted for glasses of Dry Riesling and headed out to the patio/promenade. WOW, what a beautiful view of Skaneateles Lake and Anyela's robust grape vines. The 2012 Dry Riesling was spot-on and was my take home wine for the day. I passed on the cheese plate as I looked at other visitor's and it looked somewhat plain. This is a large enough and pretty enough location for private receptions. A lively and fun staff here, although some are a tad 'testy' and I can see not everyone liking that type of personality. I'm fine with that, I'm on vacation and having a good time at Anyela's and I look forward to returning soon.

My girlfriend and I stopped here while visiting Skaneateles. I have to say, the place is beautiful and very welcoming. The vineyard was a bit understaffed, but who isn't these days. After waiting in line to get our wine tasting flight, we walked to the outdoor patio area which was massive. They had a live jazz band playing, and the views were amazing. The wine was very good, and prices were reasonable. Coming here was about the experience and atmosphere. The only issue we had was with one staff member in particular. They have a limited food menu, but did offer a charcuterie board which we purchased for $20. The gentleman making the boards gave me a number (#9), and asked I come back in 15 minutes to pick it up. I came back after about 10-12 minutes, to which he said it would be another 5 minutes. At that point I started to wonder why it would take 15-20 minutes to put some cheese and crackers on a piece of wood, but I figured they were busy and let it go. When I came back 5 minutes later, he had three boards made up and sitting on the counter. I was waiting in line and noticed he gave a board to a gentleman holding card #6. No problem. Then he proceeded to hand the other two boards to people holding cards #10 and #11. When I finally was able to walk up, the staff member looked at me and said "Sorry man, you're going to have to wait another 6-7 minutes". To which I was now pretty upset from walking up there 4 times, and I asked him why he gave the two people with the higher number a board and not myself. He replied that the numbers do not go in order... why do you hand out numbers if you aren't going to go in order?! It was bizarre. After everything was said and done, I paid $21.60 for a charcuterie plate, and had to wait 34 minutes for it.

I have now enjoyed the views at Anyela's in both Spring and early Fall. In Spring, you can find gardens full of blooms and bumble bees. In the Fall, you can enjoy the crisp air, a warm fire pit, and if you time your visit right, you will see the gorgeous changing leaves. No matter what time of year you visit Anyela's, you will have a gorgeous view and a large property full of different seating options. I personally preferred my springtime visit to Anyela's due to their beautiful gardens; which, at the time of my visit, were full of blooming peonies. Anyela's has a great and enjoyable wine selection. The one disappointment on my most recent trip was the $21 "cheese board"; we had watched several groups eat from their Instagram-worthy wooden cheese boards, but when we ordered our own, we were presented with a minimal and sloppy spread on a white dinner plate. This was honestly not what we expected not only for the price, but based on what we had seen other customers purchase earlier during our visit. Anyela's is a great vineyard to visit with a group of friends or with your partner. If you are visiting Skaneateles or the surrounding area, I would definitely recommend this vineyard.

We had quite an underwhelming experience here. The flights are $15 for a pre-selected red OR white exclusively flight and $20 for a selective flight, which is more on the expensive AND RESTRICTIVE side as compared to several other great wineries along the Seneca lake with great views. My bf and I did a preselected red flight and a selective flight to cover all of their red options. The wines were decent but not memorable. We liked their SNV which is not included in their red flight. They had spacious outdoor seating with some view. It's a large and established facility, maybe a bit overrated for what they offer. We therefore looked for another winery to end our trip and fortunately found Chateau Dusseau nearby and had an awesome experience. Definitely check the place out if you are looking for a more quality, unique, humbling, and welcoming experience.

Went there on Sun 6/19/22 in the late afternoon with 2 friends and walked in.  The female bartender didn't smile and greet me at the bar.   While I was waiting for my friends she waited on a man.  I asked her questions about the wine flights ($15 for preselected) ($20 for custom).  I asked another we question and she was quite rude.  My friends ordered wine.  I did not and walked the grounds.  I am not paying for rude service!  The grounds were very weedy. If I was paying for a wedding, I would not be happy.

What is there not to enjoy on a sunny afternoon at a lovely vineyard with peek-a-boo views of Skaneateles lake? Nothing as far as I'm concerned. The grounds are beautiful, especially on a warm spring or summer day, with blooming flowers and blue skies. The tasting room is large and inviting. You'll find a bar for tastings on one side of the room (and you can taste a good number of them for only a couple $.) and racks of wine for purchase on the other. And towards the back is a dining room which I hear mixes up some tasty salads and sandwiches.

Gorgeous location overlooking Skaneateles Lake. You can choose wine flights or bottles and sit in or outside and enjoy the view. Cheese end crackers as well as stretch bread are for sale to enjoy along with your wine too! Good thing. It was needed. It was so nice out we didn't want to leave so we didn't. What a great way to spend the afternoon drinking great wines. Love the Pino as well as Avail.

$20 for a tasting of four small pours with no credit for bottle purchases? Their wines aren't good enough to command those prices.

Very relaxed atmosphere with nice grounds and views. Tried a flight of red wine and ended up buying a bottle of red blend. Really liked being here. Thanks

The quality of the structure is what gives it two stars. The wine, service, and food brings that down. They partially explain things in the beginning but then you're off on your own. I was hoping for so much more. Unlike most wineries, they charge you for crackers ($7.)
