Arbor Hill Grapery & Winery

Very nice winery with a tasteful variety of wines. The wines have subtle hints and tastes with crisp hints of the grapes and floral taste. I was very surprised at the flavors and aroma. Highly recommend this place. They also provide food around the back with outdoor seating and beer if you desire.

I visited Arbor Hill Winery last Saturday with a group of 6 and when we walked in the place was completely empty besides the lady working, who rolled her eyes when we walked in. I said hello and that we had a reservation for a tasting since we had the wine passports, she then told us she had no reservations and that since we didn’t speak with her for a reservation we can’t possibly have one. She told us our reservation had to be with the restaurant behind them. I then told her i emailed with Angela and had an email confirmation of my online reservation. She then told me to go check with the restaurant behind and if they don’t have my reservation we can come back up here and she would pour us wine and that “we can tell her all about it”. This was said in an extremely rude tone. There was no other customers in here so she could have clearly accommodated us. This is now the second time that I have been to Arbor Hill Winery and have experienced rude and unpleasant staff who were not welcoming and not willing to accommodate. I do have to say the staff at Brew and Brats were fantastic, very nice, and very accommodating!

Great experience at Arbor Hill, with Bob as our guide through the wine tasting. Everyone was extremely inviting and the snacks were delicious! We loved the comfortable atmosphere and the incredible store with freshly made products.

We had a great time checking out the must-try wine tasting around the Naples area. The variety in their selections blew our mind. We enjoyed the tasting so much and bought 17 bottles! The staff was very friendly and patient for the checkout of our large order and gave us paper bags for gifting.

Without a doubt the best sausage I've ever had in my life. Came to the finger lakes on vacation and will come back exclusively for this sausage. We love Bob.

Good food. Love the sauces for the brats. Steak was tender and tasty. Brats were very good. Desperately need more wait staff. Would like menus earlier. Long wait to order. Music was fun.

A wine tasting with John was one of the best! He was fun, friendly, hilarious and full of knowledge. The wines are a nice variety for everyone. From sweet to semi sweet to dry to the smoothness of their bourbon-like Speedster and Joyful John. I enjoyed Arbor Hill so much that I’ve returned 4 more times! For another wine tasting and for their food. Friday Night Steak Night at Brews and Brats was delicious! A 12oz ribeye steak served hot and tender with fresh bread and two sides. I highly recommend their German potato salad and baked beans. If you can’t decide which bratwurst to get and you have someone to share it with, I recommend getting the Brat Sampler Platter. It comes with 5 different bratwurst cut up in pieces, fresh bread, different sauces and a side for you to share. Everyone at Arbor Hill is genuinely friendly and seem to enjoy their job. John is awesome and we had Bailey serve us twice. She was very sweet. I wish I could list everyone because they’ve all been so nice! I highly recommend a visit to Arbor Hill!

We had the best wine tasting & eatery experience to date! (& we do them alot!) Donna was a roit during our tasting & the food was so good! Highly recommended!

All the wines tasted of chemicals, plus they do their tastings in plastic cups. Terrible wine- very disappointed.

Wine tasting was nice. Didn't love the wines but that's personal taste. The server was very pleasant. Had lunch. Ordered sausages with simple sides. Took a very long time to be served. Seems disorganized. Food was ok

Wine was decent. The setting fit the idea of a winery and taste area. The woman who helped us was very polite and knowledgeable.

I wish I got the lady's name that served me in the tasting room, she was amazing! Great wines, quaint tasting room and restaurant. Bought a few bottles and would recommend on your trip to Canandaigua.

Well, we have been coming here for years but not since CV-19 but we paid them a visit just the other day and it went like this...First off, the place has changed from its original cozy home like feel to one of more like a business...So we were surprised to see how it has changed but that's business I guess...Next, we looked around and found that even the sample counter has now become a sterile environment with their jams now offered in tiny plastic cups holding about a 1/4 teaspoon of jam to taste if that...Next the whole vibe of the staff was sort of cold and less than welcoming, which again is NOT like years prior...We asked if they still gave samples of their various wines to try before buying to which a less than friendly woman responded that we had to select a wine flight to try any wine...Now, my wife and I only wanted to try the red wines and not any of the white wines, to which the woman barked out that that she will let us try what we want but "normally" if they were busy, she wouldn't do it...Folks there was nobody there at that moment and we were made to feel like we put her through a real hard time...Well, we tried three different wines in small cups with about one-shot glass of wine each or a tad more, but not much at all...I mentioned that I thought one of the wines would go great with steak or pot roast, to which she barked that that one is not for red meat, wow I guess my taste buds don't count...Anyway, we purchased a bottle which was $3 dollars more than what we found later to be a $14 dollar bottle at our local store...This wine flight cost us $8 dollars and $17 dollars for the wine bottle for a grand total of $27 dollars with tax...We left a two-dollar tip in the jar that was on the counter and walked out...My wife who normally is the levelheaded, easy-going person told me she does not want to come back ever...This is not the way we wanted to end our trip to Naples and Arbor Hill.

What a great surprise!!!!!! We happened upon this treasure on way in to Naples from Honeoye on a very rainy day here (7/3/23). The wine selection was immense and very well priced. We did our wine tasting under the tents outside, then opted to sample some foods from the attached restaurant (brats sampler gets two thumbs up). All of the workers were very friendly and the small shop had a nice variety of gifts...including frozen grape pies for the taking (or you can purchase quarts of the prepared grapes for this local dessert)

Like others have mentioned, this place isn't for groups, and there's no seating indoors. It's not a winery in a middle of a vineyard, it was just a small house with a gift shop on a street, so don't come here for the ambiance or standard wine tasting experience. That said, I wanted to do a wine tasting after skiing at nearby Bristol Mountain, and this place was open the day before Christmas. My husband and I were the only customers, so we had a nice experience. At some wineries, there's a set menu, but here there's an extensive menu of 28 wines! They are categorized as: Dry, Semi-Dry, Sweet, and Dessert. You can pick ANY 6 wines for $5 or 7 wines + tasting glass for $8. I say go for the latter! My husband chose the $5 option and his wines were served in a plastic cup. We were also served oyster crackers for palate cleansing. It was a little overwhelming choosing from such a large menu, but I appreciated the descriptions, which helped me decide. I'm partial towards sweet wine, so I chose many sweet wines for my tastings. Many were really delicious, and we came away buying two bottles of wine (and a small grape pie and apple butter from the gift shop). Come here for one of your wine tasting stops, and don't expect to stay here for long. Good for just two or three people max.

Great night out! John the wine maker was very knowledgeable and super hilarious with funny dad like jokes. His humor and knowledge alone make it worth a trip there. The winery itself has won so many reviews and history of accolades date back to the 80s. The wine is delicious but more so strong - you won't be disappointed. The winery also has a brewery with some awesome beers and brats. The hot sauces are all delicious and also recommend not missing out on the mulled wine.

Nice experience and wine. Great shops to explore. Want to try food next time we go. Nice staff as well

I enjoyed my visit to Arbor Hill, but it's definitely more of a gift shop vibe than a winery. I did not do a tasting because they were packed, but those who were tasting seemed to be enjoying themselves. There was a bridal party there while I was there too, and I imagine that's a big draw for Arbor Hill. The venue is situated on beautiful property with a nice stable-type building out back that I'll bet is often used for photographs. The gift shop offers wine, wine glasses, gourmet mixes, chocolate, towels, and more. They also had some beer-themed gifts. While I was there I interacted with two employees who were both very kind and helpful. As busy as they were, I wouldn't have been shocked to receive terse responses, but in both cases I got the help I needed. I'd like to go back again when I have more time and maybe on a weekday when they're likely to be less crowded. Oh, a note about parking. They have a fairly large lot, but on crowded days it may be more difficult to manage because it's shaped a bit oddly. It can get kind of narrow the further in you go, depending on the sizes of vehicles in your way.

Arbor Hill is a small wine tasting facility but very personable. Our server, Connie, was the best, personable, knowledgeable and helpful. The wines were very tasty and a good variety, from dry to sweet. There is also a gift shop with jams, dips, cheeses and other things to buy, from the area, made especially for Arbor Hill to compliment the wines. Large groups would need to call ahead and even small should call to see when you can be accommodated. Worth the trip!

my wife & I had such a grand time at this winery... Judy just "made" the place!!! she's a real gem! We loved getting to know her while sampling the wonderFul flavors of the winery there in the fingerlakes. This was our outstanding pick of the weekend. The chicken brats, the hot potato salad, & the cold Mac salad were just outstanding. Wish this place was in our hometown in Ohio.

Stopped at the Arbor Hill Winery on a rainy vacation day. The wine tasting was fun and the hostess was very informative. You can choose your flight to be just Reds and Roses or just Fruity Wines or an assortment. They offer several food choices with wine tasting. We got the pickled eggs, cheese tray, pretzel bites and bread with dipping sauce. Nice generous portions. They also offer a Juice tasting (non alcohol) option which is great. The store is cute with wine products like jellies and Grape pie mix. We bought 5-6 bottles of wine. I would recommend Arbor hill.

An adorable, charming winery on the Canandaigua wine trail. This is not a large winery where you can expect to sit outside or spend hours with a large group. Rather, it was perfect for the 3 of us to enjoy in a smaller, more quiet and personal setting. Of all the wineries we tried, this one had the best wine. I purchased 3 bottles. The service was also exceptional, as a friendly woman gave us lots of backstory to each wine we sampled. Our overall experience made us feel right at home.

I visited Arbor Hill yesterday with a few of my girlfriends. We were part of a wine tour through Crush Wine Tours and this was our first stop. We were seated in the outside area which was really cute and casual. We tasted about seven wines, and I was pleasantly surprised with how great they all were. The owner of Arbor Hill, John Brahm, conducted our tasting himself! He was super friendly and has so many interesting stories and facts about each wine we tasted. He definitely made the experience a lot better and engaging. A couple stand outs: - Moscato (trust me, you haven't tried moscato like this before) - Vergennes (this is the ONLY Vergennes you can get in the world) - Diana (I usually am NOT a fan of rosé but this was UHMAZING) Arbor Hill also has a restaurant, Brew and Brats, that we didn't get a chance to try. Next time I visit I for sure want to come back and try out their craft beer!

We had a wonderful time at Arbor Hill Winery! The lovely lady doing the wine tastings (and running the register and helping customers- she was amazing at multitasking!) was so attentive and helped us understand the wines we were trying and shared a little bit of the history of the wine (like the blueberry wine- made with love! And delicious!). She also told us about the wine passport which is $15 and good for a year (totally worth it if you're going to 3+ wineries!!). We bought wine before we left and will definitely be back! Go on the weekends to try the brats!!

After coming to Arbor Hill for a Yelp event, I have been back twice because my best friend lives in the area. Now, I feel like I have to stop if I am in the neighborhood. Each time I walk in, I am always greeted by someone who is genuinely happy to help their customers. The last time, she even offered me a glass of water since she asked where I was going afterwards and said it was a drive. The products I really enjoy are their mustards, sauces, Yancey's cheese (I know they carry this in other stores, but I feel like they have some varieties I can't get at Wegmans), and of course the wine. The Noiret is my favorite. I also like the traminette for friends who are still working their way up to a dryer wine, so it works to meet people in the middle. Stop by Brews n' Brats if they are open too!

Delicious wines, fantastic gift shop especially for stocking stuffers around Christmas time...or Easter stockings whatever's your pleasure. Their history is interesting and without knowing it you can't appreciate how unique their offerings are. I truly recommend going to visit.

Nice winery to grab a wine or beer flight even in the winter! The chili at the Brew are Brats is warming and delicious! I recommend having the wine brownie sundae as well! The Cabernet chocolate wine sauce is to die for !

The winery is a very interesting place has a lot of chatskis and some delicious wines and they allow tastings also. The only thing that bothered me was the fact that they don't take American Express cards which seems kind of antiquated in this day and age? I use American Express for everything and I'm sure there are several travelers that come through that area that would like to use it also. I'm finding more places are accepting it, but I still can't figure out why some are not doing it to begin with. Kind of frustrating cuz a lot of people don't carry cash. I run a very small business and I don't have any problem accepting American Express cards I can't imagine that their fees are that prohibiting. Especially when I'm paying $450 annual dues on a card that not many take?

Loved our visit to Arbor Hill today! Completely friendly, professional, tasty and COVID safe. We received a wine tasting from Leandra, who was awesome! She even helped entertain our 2 year old during her own mini grape juice tasting (such a great touch for kids and designated drivers). The wine and grape juice were both so good that we ended up buying some of each. We stayed for lunch which was delicious and satisfying. It was a perfect experience and one I recommend highly to others looking for a relaxed, friendly atmosphere with great wine and delicious food!

I first ordered a grape pie for shipping last week for my mom, then subsequently two more for other family members in the New York State area. They arrived perfectly and each family member has been raving about them. Thank you very much, Arbor Hill Winery. You made our family so happy to be able to experience this wonderful Finger Lakes delicacy separately over the holidays. Plus: they are absolutely delicious!!

Local and kinda unique. Very sweet and just ok!! It's up to you to stop by and taste something different

My friends and I attended this winery as part of an organized wine tour. Our table was approached by unruly patrons sans masks and staff/security allowed them to continue harassing us, not following COVID precautions. They also allowed children to run around tables, again without masks. I will be reporting this to NYS.

This place is amazing! We drive an hour and a half just to come back for their Orange Fig sauce and a wine tasting. Super friendly staff, amazing sauces, and fabulous wines! You won't regret a stop here!!

Cute shop and tasting room, great wines, and friendliest staff! Definitely recommend if you're in the Canandaigua/Bristol area.

Arbor Hill Winery is more of a shop vs. a standard winery experience, but we stopped by for a tasting since it was included in our Canandaigua wine trail pass. I especially enjoyed their Vergennes wine- a nice fruity white without being overly sweet. The wines are served in small plastic cups, so it wasn't the fanciest or most exhilarating winery experience, but our server was an older woman who was very accommodating, patient and took the time to answer our questions despite it being closer to their closing time.

We recently spent a weekend at Bristol, and just *had* to get a grape pie tartlet while in Naples, dontchaknow. As we fought over crumbs, I wondered if there were a way to enjoy a grape pie once we returned home to Rochester -- without the drive to Naples. A stop at Arbor Hill Grapery & Winery provided just the answer! There, peeping at me from the shelf, was a massive jar of grape pie filling for sale. Hurray! They had a jar opened with little crackers, for sampling -- divine! The little shop accompanying the winery is just great -- filled with lots of foods you can take with you to remind you of your weekend in wine country, to continue to enjoy with your Finger Lakes Wines. The service is fantastic! And, though we didn't try it, Beers & Brats just outside looked to be fun, to sit and admire the scenery while enjoying what smelled like delicious foods. A stop at Arbor Hill Winery is a must when visiting the Finger Lakes!

Lovely wine shop with super kind host who graciously gave us a free bottle of champagne on our honeymoon!

We completed a tasting here. The staff we encountered were rude and unwelcoming. There are plenty of nice wineries in the area. I will skip this establishment the next time.
