Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard

We had a positive experience, and my friend especially loved it here. She works in hospitality and has pretty high standards when it comes to wine, so this was a must-visit for her while we were in town. They primarily offer drier wines, but I appreciated that there were a few sweet to semi-sweet options too. My personal favorites were the NS Riesling Josef 2016 dessert wine (tastes like honey!), the Riesling Late Harvest 2023, and the Riesling Semi-Dry 2023. I ended up buying bottles of the two Rieslings to take home. The staff was excellent—very knowledgeable and incredibly patient with all of my friend’s (many) questions. The atmosphere had a modern, rustic vibe that was very inviting. If you're a wine connoisseur, this might be a great stop for you. It wasn’t a perfect match for my palate, but I still had a great time and found a couple wines I really liked!

Great dry Rieslings! The best I had! Awesome wine tasting and great service. Especially like the HJW Riesling. Would try to come again. Not expensive as well - good value for money.

We loved this stop! It was more of a wine tasting experience. You are able to create your own flight (vs. preselected) which was great. Our server was super knowledgeable and would explain you as much or as little as you wanted to know. The inside space is very nice. Spacious with multiple tasting areas (they are at the table vs. a bar). We were able to catch some of the production work the day we were there through the window. This is one of the nicer wineries overall and a stop we'd highly recommend if you want a more relaxing experience. Note that we went off-peak season.

Regularly one of my favorites in the finger lakes. Reserve dry Riesling and sparkling wines are phenomenal, plus the property is beautiful and staff are friendly and very knowledgeable.

Phenomenal experience. The hospitality and venue were fantastic. I proposed to my fiancé here, and our server Joe, and Oscar went above and beyond for us! The wine was just as good as the service. I cannot stress how great our experience was! Looking forward to future visits.

This was our first winery we stopped at on a Saturday celebrating my birthday. The ambiance is traditional farm style and was decorated for Fall with many pumpkins, gourds, and topiary. The gentleman that took care of us was friendly, very informative, and curated our wine tastings to our preferred palate. No other winery we stopped at was so personal, pours were generous and the wines smooth and ranged from semi dry to dry with our tasting. They do not offer pairings with food or any charcuterie boards that we saw. This definitely topped the list for best tasting of our afternoon!

Very happy we decided to stop here! It seems like they may encourage reservations, but got us in right away without one. We enjoyed some local cheese, meat, and honey-roasted almonds as I sipped on samples of some of their delicious wines. I would highly recommend their dry Rieslings, super tasty!

I came as a walk in for a tasting, which was only outside and about $25 for two. Their wines are tasty. Multiple staff checked on us. We left with a few bottles.

My recent visit to Hermann J. Wiemer Winery in the Finger Lakes was an absolute delight. From the moment I stepped onto the property, I was captivated by the stunning scenery and the inviting atmosphere. The tasting room itself is warm and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly knowledgeable and hospitable. But the true star of the show was, of course, the wine. Their Rieslings are simply exceptional. I was blown away by the complexity and balance of each varietal, showcasing the unique terroir of the Finger Lakes region. I truly believe they produce some of the finest Rieslings in the area. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or simply looking to explore the beauty of the Finger Lakes, a visit to Hermann J. Wiemer Winery is an absolute must. You can see a video about this winery here so you know what to expect if you get to visit: https://youtu.be/rRkZ6lOF4cY?si=s_0D_yeJYOwrCFgy

Hermann Wiemer has one of the best wineries on lake Seneca in my opinion. They consistently make a beautiful Riesling among other options. We came in a Saturday in the fall and had reservations for a tasting. Victor was informative and warm. He helped us decide on our tasting flight. Very beautiful winery and fantastic service. The product is also top notch.

On a recent trip to the Finger Lakes with some friends, we had looked up prominent vineyards to go to, and Hermann J. Wiemer was at the top of most of the lists we had looked at and we decided that we had to scope it out. Upon driving to the vineyard, the grounds are absolutely stunning. The building itself has a modern flair, and the inside of the venue is open with an abundance of natural light. On our trip, we had visited 10+ wineries and Hermann was in the top 2 as far as the views. Hermann's wine offerings range from a variety of Rieslings, Gruners, Cab Francs. They offer 3 different sizes, but my friends and I opted to get a variety of smaller sizes to try the different wines. Having been to other wineries and having tried a large array of dry rieslings, we weren't particularly impressed with the rieslings, but we loved the Gruner Veltlinger. The gentleman that served us was incredibly knowledgeable and had us try a few other wines that we had not ordered on the house. As we finished tasting some wines, we asked if we could purchase a bottle and walk the grounds of the winery. Our waiter was extremely kind and allowed us to do so, which made the experience fun as we explored more of the winery. Overall, the venue was beautiful and our service was amazing. My friends and I didn't find the wines extremely memorable, but we would definitely return to visit just for the scenery and the ability to walk around.

We enjoyed this unique tasting experience with excellent views of their vineyard. We chose 5 to start and were generously given a couple extra to compare different vintages and vineyard. We were able to bring some food which we needed after all this wine! Our server was attentive and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed learning about the history of the Lemberger grape. Our favorite ended up being the 2023 rose- we took a bottle home with us!

One of the must stops if you are doing wineries in the Finger Lakes (FL). This gent put FL wines and specifically Rieslings. Huge operation. You may need reservations. Tastings and some small snacks available. And of course the wine shop. Enjoy!

This was our first stop for the day and in the off season it was easy to be seated and have a comfortable and well informed wine tasting. It is all à la carte so it can be pricey depending on what you have. The history of the winery was very interesting! The wine was amazing- the HJW Resiling was our favorite, we ended up buying bottles of the Semi-Dry Riesling for gifts.

This was our first winery we stopped at on a Saturday celebrating my birthday. The ambiance is traditional farm style and was decorated for Fall with many pumpkins, gourds, and topiary. The gentleman that took care of us was friendly, very informative, and curated our wine tastings to our preferred palate. No other winery we stopped at was so personal, pours were generous and the wines smooth and ranged from semi dry to dry with our tasting. They do not offer pairings with food or any charcuterie boards that we saw. This definitely topped the list for best tasting of our afternoon!

Update! Revisited during a recent trip to the FLX area. The tasting has certainly changed since my COVID-time visit, but still excellent wine. We didn't receive as excellent of hospitality this time around (not that it was bad, just not as one-on-one as my previous visit), but that could also be mostly a function of it being busier and the world traveling more. We appreciated the way they do tastings with the small carafes and the chalkboard to know what you're trying. Our server did walk us through the wines and checked in on us enough to make us feel taken care of! It was just a different vibe this time around. The wine was still some of the finest we had during our trip! HJW is certainly known for their reisling which still is their star, and I'm excited my husband got to try them out. We took home a bottle to share in the future, so looking forward to cracking that open soon!

My friend brought me here for a private tasting for my birthday. It was held in the library I believe (I think some of the vineyards around here still want a reservation thanks covid they are keeping it, some you can still roll in but check if possible) The place is really nice, I get the feeling they did an update and it's light and bright and airy. When you walk in it's all warm woods and tables and huge metal vessels for the wines. We saw some people having a tasting here and they have tables and etc. The other room we were I what light and bright. The light coming in was glorious. We were given a glass of wine that was gratis a nice touch. I believe the tasting is for four 2.5 pours and they have other pours as well. I don't know the cost off hand but check the website. You can mix and match what you want to try. So I got some white and a Pinot. Everything I tried was either stellar or something I'd need to try again. Our guide today was warm & knowledgeable and casual. Just an fyi they have a sister vineyard called Standing Stone (I believe it's called) and they make good wines as well. I enjoyed my visit here. I bought a bottle of the Field White (white table wine) and the Pinot Noir 4.5/5 a gem of a place They have parking

Booked a tasting and glad we had made a reservation because this place was packed on a late Saturday afternoon. They do tastings a little differently compared to most places in the FLX - larger pours that are shared between 2-3 people. Not necessarily a bad thing especially if the people sharing it like the same sweetness of wine, but you can see how this could also be problematic. Because it was so crowded, the area for tasting got a little loud and it was hard to hear our server explain the characteristics of the wines we were sampling. We would definitely like to come back, maybe during an off-peak time of year.

This was one of our favorite experiences while visiting the finger lakes. The inside of the facility is really nice, and it was a nice day when we visited so we actually got to sit outside near some of their stainless steel barrels. The wine were all fabulous, and our server was so sweet and informative. They didn't mind that we had our own snacks during the tasting. I learned a lot of the area and their wines during this tasting. They offer a cool concept as well, where you can buy single tastings or larger pours to share, which saves a little money and is fun to go through the tasting with your group. Our server wanted to share another wine with us and brought us that for free! You can also buy wine by the glass or bottle as well. I highly recommend this awesome spot!

Excellent wines, a beautiful setting and very knowledgeable staff made for a great visit. We sat among the steel tanks and enjoyed our flight of wine while we chatted with the server and another visiting couple. A great visit.

This was the best winery we went to by far on our trip to the Finger Lakes. We started off the day here and it set the bar super high. We had our own private spot out on the quiet patio surrounded by trees and shade with the sun peeking through. The wine was superior to anything else we had the rest of the day. We got to choose our own selection of wines from a sizable list, the dry Rieslings being some of our favorites. We really loved the Gewurztraminer and 2023 rose as well. But what truly stole the show was rhetorical 2014 Josef Riesling. Seeing that it came from a $150+ bottle meant it better be good, but the lingering smell and after taste was truly unforgettable. Our server was great too - he even threw in a free 2oz pour for us! Highly recommend if you are visiting the area.

Definitely recommend their harvest dinner. Every staff member was pleasant. Visited again the following Saturday to introduce our friends to Hermann J wines, and the employee was not friendly as we didn't have a reservation. It's too bad they received this impression of the winery. Could be the ambiance the winery is going for, but reservations are really difficult when planning a day around the lake.

My friends hyped this place up and I can say it was a disappointing visit. First off, be sure to have a reservation! My party of 4 did not and the lady running the counter made us feel bad about it, like it was an inconvenience. The room for walk-in tastings was pretty empty so, not sure why we were given an attitude. 3 of us had a flight, which is a flight of preselected wines. No interaction regarding the wines on the flight other than the paper they give you to go along with it. Also, they give you what is supposed to be enough wine for each person to sample from the mini carafe. Looking around the room at other guest's flight carafes...a flight for 2 people were filled to the same level as our flight for 3 people...not sure how that is right. Not in a rush to go back here but would be curious if the experience would be better with a reservation.

We had a lovely tasting experience with some delightful wine. The room is a bit loud.

Wonderful estate with such an elegant ambiance. We did a tour + wine tasting here. Service was excellent. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about wine and fielded all our questions. Such a rich history and culture... learned a lot and brought home a bottle of my favorite wine from the ones we sampled!

I called the day before to arrange picking up a case of wine and was told they opened at 10am the next morning. We got there just a bit after 10 and despite the sign on the door that said they opened at 10am they did not. Finally at 10:30 they opened up. After those with tasting reservations got processed we proceeded to purchase our case of wine. After it was rung up I noticed that the price was incorrect - in our favor by $150!!!! I could have walked away but I pointed it out. The manager came over and helped the worker correct the issue. Here is the rub - the manager never thanked me for catching their mistake. A thank you would have been nice. Hopefully the wine is worth it!

We LOVED our visit to Hermann J. Wiemer. Not only were they some of the best wines we've had on our visit to Seneca, but their staff was also super informative and we were able to buy some grape vines to take home. The tasting room is comfortable and stylish and the overall vibe is nice and relaxed. Highly recommend.

Will keep this review short, the place itself is quite nice, cool vibe, and seemed to have the best wine of all the wineries we went to. There is a bunch of space out in the back, but if you want some views of the lake, sit on the front patio.

I stopped by a number of wineries when in the area and was looking forward to this one. I was disappointed that this experience didn't feel as interactive and personal as the other places I went. I wasn't given conversation about the wines from my server, Neil. Their pours are also individually priced unlike other wineries at which mostly the price is for a set number of pours regardless of what you taste. Also, what I did try wasn't pleasing to my taste but I assume that was just that I ordered the wrong things secondary to the lack of conversation around the wine.

Really lovely winery in a nice rustic space. Can get busy so get a reservation for sure, but they do take walk ins. Love that their tastings is more choose your own adventure.

Stopped in on a Friday in a recommendation from another vineyard. Very cute facility with great views. We didn't have a reservation (who knew needed on e at 2pm on a weekday) so could not do a tasting. We were able to make a selection for wine by the glass and went to sit outside by the pond. Great views and great wine. Next time will be sure to make reservation to get the full experience but it's a great facility from what we saw!

Beautiful location! A girls weekend in the off-season in the Finger Lakes and this amazing spot was 500 feet from our house! We opted for the self-guided wine tasting on the side of the building overlooking the vineyard. We enjoyed the dry Rieslings. Would recommend if you have had lots of wine tastings and would like to pick a couple and enjoy and talk amongst your group. (Our only concern- The gnats! We were there in an unseasonably warm day in November, so the temperature could have caused the issue. I'm sure it's not all the time)

A great way to start a day of wine tastings, we were fortunate to get a table outside on the patio. Unlike most of the vineyards all tastings are a la carte where you chose your wines from a list with each having a different price. Rebecca was a great guide in explaining each of the offerings with some of the notes of each wine and the history of the vines and process of the wine making. When spending a day looking for that excellent wine the experience of the tastings are as important as the wines and Rebecca made that experience enjoyable. With her direction we chose 2.5 oz pours to share. Note if you are sharing 4 or 5 of these carafes you will be drinking about a glass of wine each. Figure that into your driving for the day if you are going to a number of tastings. We highly recommend making this one of your stops.

I really, really enjoyed the wines here. We came on a Tuesday afternoon and the place appeared to be fully booked with reservations - so we were glad we had one. This was definitely the best wine of our day wine tasting, and the whole property is very classy and beautiful. Everything is served a la carte, so while it was nice getting to pick exactly what we wanted, it didn't feel like a particularly curated or guided experience. Our server was nice but mainly left it to us to ask questions or ask for recommendations. All tastings are accompanied with popcorn and nuts, which were nice - but some curated cheese boards would've really bumped up the experience. We left with a bottle of their Late Harvest Riesling and Gewürztraminer. There actually wasn't a wine we disliked, which made it very difficult to choose which wines to purchase! Also, by the time you've tried 4-5 wines it ends up costing more than any other winery's tastings- but there is certainly a quality difference. Overall, I would return and enjoyed the experience very much!

In a wine area with fantastic wines this is the best place we've been to seneca lake. They have botrytis wines which is very unusual. All terrific. All the whites were excellent and we even enjoyed the reds. Great.

We planned Hermann J. Wiemer vineyard as our last stop on our wine tasting trip, because we wanted to end our trip on a high note. I came here with a group of friends last year and did the traditional wine tasting. Our host was very knowledgeable and took us through each of the wines that we were tasting. It was such a memorable experience that I had to come back again, this time with my husband. This year with COVID happening, the winery is not doing its traditional wine tasting, so that was disappointing. Instead, wines were being offered by the glass, half glass, or bottle. My husband and I ended up sharing a flight of wines by the half glass including the Riesling Magdalena 2018, the Riesling HJW Bio 2017, the Dry Rosé 2019, Cab Franc 2018, and the Standing Stone Farm Red. The flight of wines came with small bowls of popcorn and almonds that were nice to munch on. The Rieslings were very lovely, but the reds not so much. I would recommend sticking to the white wines.

The wines were great. We did not enjoy the structure of the tasting If you're going with a group, it's too hard to taste individual wines you are interested in. For example, in our group of 4 people, 2 liked whites, one liked sparkling, and one liked red. It was very awkward and annoying to have to share our taste selections. They could improve the experience if we could just order the types of wines we were interested in. The tasting experience was too complex. Excellent wine, tho.

Had a wonderful time wine tasting at this vineyard - tried several different wines (the experience was so personalized and intimate) while learning about the vineyard, and left with a few bottles of my favorite Riesling! The best winery that we visited in the Finger Lakes area, a can't-miss spot for travelers!

Loved the wine and the experience. We enjoyed having ability to mix and match our own tastings.

It does not get any better than Herman J Wiemer. Last year I relocated from Oregon Wine Country to the FLX. I have been to wineries all over Napa, Sonoma and The Willamette Valley. After moving I needed a new go to winery- one that was both beautiful to take guests to as well as a producer of outstanding wines. Lucky for me I found Wiemer. I was greeted and seated on arrival. The facility is gorgeous- exposed wood and a beautiful barn. Excellent tasting room associates that are knowledgeable about the region. They produce outstanding wines including Riesling, Chardonnay, Cab Franc as well as several varieties of sparkling. Finding a great red in the FLX (known for whites) up until now had been a challenge. I stock the farm red as my table wine at home- it's perfect. The rose is amazing- next year I will buy a case before they sell out. No matter what you are looking for they have it all- Wiemer is sure to impress wine experts or novices and everyone in between. It gets busy especially during tourist season so calling ahead does not hurt. I will return again and again. My friend from Oregon said visiting was the hi-light of her trip. Update: I called in and was helped over the phone. I sent wine to family in California and Oregon- it was so easy and I got shipping info on the same day.

Still great! Stocked up on more Late Harvest Riesling! Reservations are recommended for daily tastings (not just for weekends). Luckily we were just picking up bottles, but there were some grumpy walk-ins ahead of us.

I just finished my first trip to the Finger Lakes Wine region, and did a TON of research beforehand to select the 4 wineries we'd visit on our day trip to Seneca Lake. I read blogs, articles, reviews, visited their websites, looked to see if they were mentioned in any news or won any awards. We are all California natives who go wine tasting on a regular basis, and we all enjoy dry wines, specifically reds and don't really care for sweet wine. So, this was a challenge I accepted in an area that does a lot of sweet wine. I'll save you the hassle of doing your own research - I ended up taking my friends to Hermann J Wiemer, Barnstormer, Fox Run and Red Tail Ridge. Hermann J Wiemer was our first stop. I wanted to start with a more established winery, and it didn't disappoint. Upon arrival, we were taken into the tasting room where your group was placed around individual tasting tables. Your tasting host then came over and shared some information about the winery, the wines and took you through a very nice tasting of six pre-set wines. However, our host modified it slightly to accommodate our preference for dry wine. Our favorite was their Field White. It is a unique light wine that has 45% Gruner Veltliner, a grape none of us had ever had before. The Dry Riesling and Rosé of Pinot Noir were also nice. They encouraged us to walk out to their vineyard after our tasting was done, which was a very nice thing, and provided a nice backdrop for some group photos. Now, one thing to note overall, this area produces a weaker wine than California. I will attribute this to the amount of rain and moisture this area gets, so they really have to work hard to get a lot of flavor out of their grapes. So, if you like big-bold-cab's, you may be disappointed in the wines of the finger lakes overall...but, I say, let's appreciate the area for what it offers, it's unique and nice to see an area working hard to make good wine despite the climate and challenges they face.

This is a must stop if you are in the area. This is a Riesling House and they are all fabulous. Appointments are required and we had a beautiful seat out on the patio. There are no set flights; it's pick what you would like to try. They have 2.5 oz pours and 5 oz pours. 2.5 is great for 2-3 people. 5 oz worked for our party of six. The pours come in a carafe so you can pour what you like into everyone's glass. I loved their reserve Riesling. It's one of the best I had on the trip. I also really enjoyed the Gewurtztraminer. We also enjoyed a bottle of bubbly that we ordered that they had just released that day. We were able to enjoy it with some complimentary popcorn that was given to us on the way in. Our wine host was so interesting and amazing. She is surgeon and she loves the wine here so much she works here on the side for fun. How cool is that? Overall, this is definitely one of my top visits in the Finger Lakes and you should definitely visit if you are in the area and looking for great wine that is really representative of the region.

Beautiful vineyard. Great selection of dry wines. The staff was friendly and helpful. We did not taste-the lady that helped us picked a great glass of white, for me, and a red for my husband. She was spot on. We relaxed by the pond. Great view .

We couldn't check in till 4pm so we went here for our first wine tasting. No res no problem. Large tasting spaces and out door space very modern with no res we got flights not tasting which we actually like better wine is very goo. Our first dry Riesling experience rice cereal and out new fave wine.

Tried to do a tasting, but waited for 20+ minutes at our table without anyone acknowledging us. Not a busy day either, but was really disappointed because I had heard good things.

Definitely stop in. You will love the wine. I would suggest reservations we went off season and got lucky and got the last table. All the wines were excellent you won't be sorry. We went home with with a few bottles (we should have purchased more). The staff is super friendly knowledgeable and fun. We will be back.

We'd heard over and over that Hermann J. Wiemer has the best wines in the Finger Lakes, so we made sure to visit this winery. And don't get me wrong, they were good. But hearing over and over that something is the best may have inflated our expectations slightly, because while they were certainly good, we weren't blown away or anything. Actually, our favorite wine was their Field Blend (Grüner base with Riesling and Chardonnay - not something I'd seen blended before but which worked very well) - incidentally, their least expensive bottle. We also tried their premier Rieslings with the expectation that we'd buy a few bottles, but walked away with the Field Blend and Saperavi Rosé instead. Chacun à son goût, as the French say. We are nerds who most enjoy the chance to talk to someone on the staff about the wines, as we got at Tabora and Fox Run, which we visited directly before and after. The way it works at HJW, you do get a server who answers some questions as he or she takes your order, but doesn't stick around to talk to you about them. Some, again, may prefer this. The atmosphere is certainly very posh and stands out if that's what you're looking for. (It's definitely not a good place for the typical bachelor/ette party.) I did also like that you can select your own wines for the tasting. At the same time, however, the smallest option (2.5 oz) is more than I need on a wine tasting tour; it was more than enough for my husband and I to split, which means we could taste far fewer wines between us for the same price. I am not suggesting they change this - it's a good option to have in the area - but only noting this for your planning purposes. (Most other wineries offer a selection of pre-arranged flights, with tiny pours of each.) I am also the sort of person who asks for a dump bucket so I can taste as many wines as possible without them all starting to taste the same; most of you reading this probably won't be operating that way, I realize. Overall, if you're looking for a sophisticated setting and a traditional flight, this place would be a five star visit for you. But for our tour of wine nerdery, while we'd stop in the store next time to pick up a bottle of the Field Blend, we would not necessarily recommend the tasting to everyone who visits the Finger Lakes. It would depend on what you're looking for, as I hope I conveyed in this review.

Friendly staff, amazing vineyard, and the adult grape juice is fantastic. Best to get a flight and also do a wine tasting to get a sense of all the flavors. Order any of their reserves.

Service and wine were excellent! The ambiance was wonderful and on that day they had a food pop up for appetizers! Make your reservations!

What a terrific spot. Loved the method approach and hospitality here. What a nice at to taste wine. We were welcomed by Oscar and went to the tasting room. Despite being busy we were taken care of very nicely and spoilt by some of the single vineyard Riesling's! Loved all of them. The Field White was excellent. A nice blend and terrific value for money! The Riesling dry was good. Loved the Reserve, Magdalena and Reserve dry. What spectacular wine making. The Riesling's bio was a good try but not to my taste. But others loved it. I highly recommend this place.

This winery is special. Is has a certain charm that will grab you instantly. My pics below should sell you on this. Surprisingly this winery is not adjacent to the lake and there is no view from the grounds. They aren't even on several of the maps I viewed on line. The wine tasting was pricey at 8 dollars. They specialize in white wine and have received several national awards. They use no sulfates or preservatives of any kind in the preparation. The Chardonnay and Reisling I tried are among the best I have had. Crisp, refreshing and balanced. The wine itself is also expensive. The had a limited Chardonnay that was 38 dollars..... and sold out. Do not miss this spot. Trust me.

Hermann Wiemer is one of my favorites vineyards in the Finger Lakes. It's a beautiful, rustic converted barn with a high-ceiling tasting room that opens to the vineyard. We actually met Oscar Bynke, one of the co-owners who gave our tastings. He was very friendly, and I learned quite a bit. I'm no wine geek by any means, but wine is my drink of choice. I just generally don't drink at home unless I'm out with friends. But in general, I'm on the more dry, less sweet spectrum. This winery makes some delicious wines. Some of my favorites are the reserve dry Riesling, the Cabernet Franc, and the Gewürztraminer. I personally had not heard of the Gewürztraminer prior to the tasting, which is apparently an aromatic grape variety that produces white wines that are usually off-dry. I really enjoyed it, and apparently it's paired with Asian cuisines and pork dishes. Win-win for me.

Stopped in on our way to Buffalo and did a wine tasting with Nancy. She was very informative and friendly we enjoyed the tasting and the conversation. Ended up buying a few bottles of wine too.

Lovely winery, Juan was so helpful and knowledgeable, taught us about how this place is different. Try the Bio wine. It is so worth the effort they put into making the wine.

10stars! Top shelf wine! Wow! When u walk in, theres a person to welcome u, asks if your there for a tasting, then walks u to the next available table where you're introduced to the person who's going to serve the tasting. Where do I begin? Dry whites are my fav, and there wasnt anything there I didnt like. Even the chardonnay was good, and I'm usually not a fan. I can't say enough about the Semi-dry Riesling, crisp & total show stopper. The decor is lovely, the people are nice, we left there with 5 bottles, need I say more?

I lived this winery in the Seneca Lake one trail. It was my favorite. You do need to book a reservation as the have limited seating. They have indoor and out seating under a white tent. I felt the service was very personalized. It was very relaxing and the space was inviting. Loved the dry reds. I highly recommend Hermann Wiemer while visiting Finger Lakes wine country.
