Hubby and I had a wonderful time on our tour with Noah as our tour guide. He was very informative and genuinely care about information he imparted to us. Gorgeous old building and we're so excited to hear how wine & champagne are made. After sampling our wine/champagne of choice, we ended up with almost a box full of wine. We love everything about Pleasant Valley Wine Co. We'll be returning again.

Had a great experience and tour with Jenny ! I’ve been to the tasting room a few times in the past but have never done the tour. I’m so glad that I did. I now have a greater appreciation for this place thanks to Jenny’s great energy and knowledge about the history of the winery. Also loved the seated tasting. I hope you keep this option moving forward. Well done !

Wonderful tasting experience, great champagne selection and pretty good wine options. They offered a nice selection of appetizers along with the tasting and also had a good socially distanced set-up with tables well separated. The tasting experience was very relaxing and self-paced and estimated at about an hour to complete.

We have been to Pleasant Valley/Great Western Winery many times. We went on small business Saturday to stock up for the holidays and winter. They are doing a great job during Covid. The tables are spaced far apart and our server was so nice. There is now a fee (understandably); however, I would not call it a tasting. You pick five wines/champagne/port and they are large pours. I would call them a full glass. There was four of us and they gave us two plates of cheese, crackers and pepperoni. We go for the champagne - it is delicious and extremely inexpensive. Their gift shop is very nice. They are

This place seems stuck in time, as the oldest wine maker in the region that isn't necessarily a bad thing. The museum is a bit outdated (see the USSR flag) but it's cute. The tastings are free and the store is well stocked. Overall a good stop on a tour of the wine region! Their bubbly was as good as expected!

My wife and I came here 20 years ago during our honeymoon. We came back this week to celebrate our anniversary. They were great 20 years ago and they have maintained that quality. Spumante and the peach chardonnay are amazing. If you are able to go during harvest season, check out their tours. One of the oldest and best winery's in the Finger Lakes. Highly recommend.
