Now with the incorporation of son Timothy Hosmer and his business Benchmark Custom Vineyard Planting, the Hosmer's involvement and dedication to the Finger Lakes wine industry continues to grow. Tim Hosmer, the next generation of the Hosmer family, is an esteemed member of the wine industry.

Visited Hosmer Winery on Thursday evening. While there was nothing particularly bad about our visit, it was just an unmemorable experience in an area where a lot of wineries are doing more to stand out.
Quality: We arrived at Hosmer Winery later in the day, and even though they were still technically open for another hour it seemed like they were already closing things out. The response to asking for a Tasting was not great and we did not receive much in terms of feedback when asking about recommendations. We ended up splitting just one Tasting. I thought the Semi-Dry Riesling was the best of

This place is AMAZING!! Mary Beth was our tasting expert and so knowledgeable about the grapes grown here and extremely personable. They offer cheese and an outstanding tomato garlic sauce to try along with the wine tasting. Our group of 7 left with 2 cases of wine and other goodies as well. Please stop by here, I promise you will not be disappointed!!

Delicious wines and excellent service. We were offered a great variety of choices and the the sommelier was very knowledgeable and friendly. She was helpful in making my purchases easy & confident. I highly recommend Hosmer. We went to several more vineyards in the Cayuga and Seneca this trip and the services were unmatched!
Thank you .
Thank you .

I love Hosmer Winery! The staff is outstanding. I only wish that they hadn’t changed my favorite wine Raspberry Rhapsody. I have bought this wine for several years but when I traveled to Hosmer this year I had noticed that the wine was a very pale shade of pink as opposed to the darker shade that it used to be. I included it in my wine tasting because I didn’t want to purchase it without tasting it first after I noticed the color change. I was glad that I did because it tasted nothing like the wine I fell in love with 8 years ago. I wish they had not changed it because it was absolutely wonderful

I enjoyed a glass of 2019 Limited Release Riesling; very smooth and dry; very tasty.
My husband enjoyed a glass of 2017 Late Pick Riesling, a deliciously sweet dessert wine.
Great place to listen to live music. Two large tents to provide shade on a hot day. The musicians we heard today, Tribal Revival, were very much to our liking; relaxing music that I would characterize as "soft rock."
The winery is unpretentious and welcoming. Give me good wine, good service and good music and I don't need anything fqncier.

This winery was excellent! Some of the best wines I tasted in the region, and there were many! The setting was cozy and inviting, but Curtis, who led us through our tasting, really made our visit fantastic. He was so friendly and also knowledgeable about each pour. It felt like we were drinking wine with an old friend. Informative without being pretentious. 10 out of 10!

We are visiting the Finger Lakes for a milestone birthday. 3 days of vineyards planned. On day 2, we visited Hosmer Winery. Reserved a tasting in advance. When we arrived we were directed upstairs. Brooke did an amazing job taking us through our 5 wines. We selected Reislings as those are highly rated by Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator. They were the best I've tasted. That's a bold statement for someone who has a preference for French and Napa reds. They also had a band playing outside and arranged for a food truck that serves mac & Cheese.

Stopped here while on this side of the lake. As soon as we went in and were greeted, they told us to pick which wines we wanted to try. They would bring them out to you with a glass per person trying the wine.
The woman waiting on us provided us a rich history of the place. She said that she loves the Pittsburgh Steelers. She drives down for a game annually.
The wine tastings and wine was good. Great place, nice atmosphere.

We had the best time here! During a day of winery hopping in a COVID rules filled world it was so special to end up here and find such a great out door space. Everything was well spaced out and there was actually a father/son duo playing live music! We ended up grabbing cheese and a baguette (which was so delish I'm still dreaming about it) and enjoyed our snack with our wine tasting. Everyone was friendly even during these crazy times. The owner even popped out and said hello! This is a definitely recommend stop along the wine trail!

Came here from a recommendation from a different winery that we were really happy with.
I have a service dog. The lady said that my dog wasn't allowed. I showed his identification and she said that it didn't matter. She said I had to wait outside while my friends picked the wine. I told her that she's discriminating against the disabled. She then changed her story to all of 4 of us had to wait outside due to covid. But there was no one else in the store besides the employees. She just kept tripping over her words as her story changed...
We just left, feeling very bad.

Best Cayuga Whites in the region. 2019 Sauvignon Blanc wasn't bad either. Stop here for a quick tasting and to check out the gift shop but otherwise, it's missing on the beautiful views that other wineries have. Free wine glass with a $10 tasting for 5 wines.
If you order online, I think you can do custom labels. I did it a while ago but not sure if they still have it available.
They have tents set up outside for tastings during COVID.

Hosmer winery was recommended by my sister. The main house was an adorable, quaint-looking house. We entered, masks on, and made our wine selections from Hosmer's extensive list. We were given a wine glass to take home with us, and our selections were brought out in paper shot glasses. They were marked with numbers corresponding to a sheet of paper so we knew which wine we were drinking, which I greatly appreciated.
I loved the rustic, relaxed feel of the tents and mismatched chairs. Hosmer didn't feel stuffy at all. I enjoyed most of the wines I tasted, but the Raspberry Rhapsody was

This was one of my favorite tastings of the day! The tasting menu is huge and contains several sparkling wines. I tried all of the sparklings and purchased a Brut Rose (Pinot Noir). My husband really enjoyed the cab franc and off dry Riesling. Our pourers were very friendly and we enjoyed talking to them (both from Europe, where we had traveled).

The final and fourth stop on the Crush wine tour.
Hosmer Winery had... the best wine ! Well, in my opinion at least. I was with 7 other gals and they all seemed to agree, so that's got to count for something... right?
The Chardonnay was smooth and buttery and we all enjoyed this the most. So much so, that most of us grabbed a bottle to take home as a souvenir.
Otherwise, the service and the property was nothing to write home about. This was by far the most crowded of the wineries, so understood that there wasn't much personal attention. But, the staff did seem a little snarky which

This one was especially fun because, while it's supposed to be 5$ to taste 5 wines, when I expressed that I was impressed with the number of different Rieslings on their list, and that I had no idea which ones I should try, the person there just let us try all of them for the same 5 bucks, which was *awesome* of her - we ended up trying like 10. Turns out they were all quite delicious, too, *especially* the dry ones (but the semisweet were tasty too).
They also have a particularly good blackberry wine right now (definitely tastes like it was made with entirely real blackberry fruit, not
