Montezuma Winery

I’m a native of the Finger Lakes and love Montezuma wines. Ive never been to the winery in person before and decided to go for a tasting. The employee Danielle was so friendly and knowledgeable. She made me feel right at home. I’ll definitely be back!

You find just about anything in this Knick knacks store. A variety of things are sold here, including wine slushees and homemade fudge!

If your looking for a winery to visit look no further! This place is spectacular, the staff is extremely helpful and customer service was excellent.. we we helped by Dave and he is absolutely amazing. He explained every wine in detailed and helped us find the right wine for each of us. The wine and spirits are great and they have a wide selection for all and you will definitely the wine you want! The price is amazing for the tasting is inexpensive unlike other wineries near by and you get so much more here

Been here twice. Second time come for a tasting. They allow dogs inside and outside. They have both a wine and liquor tasting. Sometimes they have a truck outside with wine slushes and bourbon slushes. The inside also had some cheese snacks, wine and liquor for purchase and gift shop items.

We try to come to the Finger Lakes each year, however this year was the first time we had stopped here. OMG…what a fun place. I don’t remember the gentleman that helped us but he was GREAT. We bought a case to bring home. A big plus…the wine labels are absolutely adorable. Kudos to the creator.

Great experience with Dave! A terrific number of wines to choose from in the tasting with outstanding sangria in particular. I would recommend this winery to anyone looking for a superior experience in the finger Lakes region.

The gentleman helping was fabulous. He took what he was learning about my wine palette and suggesting new wines for me to try and he was spot on! Great atmosphere and staff. I will definitely stop there again

This busy winery has great wines and is a great place for tastings. They also carry supplies for your own wine making as well as some amazing gift items. I cannot stay there too long though, the more I taste, the more I take home with me!

Great gift shop but it's small and was crowded on a Friday afternoon in the summer.

I didn't do the wine tasting, because all the wines I was looking forward to tasting were not available at the tasting counter and not available by the glass.

No view of any lake; not sure why this winery is so highly rated.

First winery we hit on the Cayuga Lake wine trail. Great place to start. Decent wine and excellent fudge. Pretty robust little shop as well.

First time doing Cayuga Lake area wineries as usually frequent Seneca Lake. Preference is dry/semi-dry Chardonnay or Rieslings, and full bodied reds, so when I walked in and immediately got the "mass market retail"feel of the place, including children sprawled all over the floor playing video games as parents tasted, my expectations hit bottom. I was, unfortunately, correct to not except much. For $10 you choose 6 & each pour barely wets your mouth, which is not all bad since their wines are meh/barely drinkable (but not terrible) --unremarkable in every sense. For for what you get

Great time at the Montezuma Winery and Jon was very informative about the different types of wines and spirits. Also creative on how to mix the wines for a completely different taste. This is a 'must do' when visiting the Finger Lakes region!!

Rolled in at 4:20 PM, they close at 5 PM. It’s a very nice winery however, they seemed very hurried and preoccupied with closing time rather than customer service.

Very crowded today but still clean and nice to look around . Had some nice deals join the club for a free sticker and deals sent to your phone

This place was great. We stopped because they explicitly put on their website all of the ways that they are taking precautions due to Covid. They are offering a really neat idea of a take out flight of wines which allows you to have the wine tasting experience from the comfort of your home. Included is a wine glass and lots of tasty treats too. The staff was great and really eager to help and allowed us to browse the store for a couple bottles of wine too. Overall a great experience and lots of wine options.

Thank you Ann for a nice time .the slushy are the best diamond and red frog .they was so nice .clam,relaxing,clean.the wine is unbelievable. Visit the winery my wife and i had fun .lit lit lit thank you ann I will see you soon .

Great spot and Fat Frog Red is seriously delish. I got two small, one glass, bottles and wish I would have bought more! Don't believe the hating on the little tasters. The whole gift bag you get is totally cute and worth the $12. It has two coupons in it!

Great place to visit if you are in Cayuga Lake.
Due to COVID, this winery preps a bag with 5 samples of wines, popcorns, fudge, water bottle, & a wine glass for $12. I also decided to purchase wine slushies for $7 and I have to say it was the best wine slushies I ever had! If I were to go again, I would stick sigh getting sweet red wines vs. sweet white wines but if you like dry & sweet wines, white wines are good for that! My favorite wine was Fat Frog Bubbly (sweet red wine), so yummy!

Plenty of outdoor seating and it's definitely more than 6ft social distance, loved it! I would

Such a horrible experience! It's a scam. They are selling wine tastings in tiny medicine looking cups for $12 ...I can't believe they gave us this goody bag and it turned out to be a disaster

Montezuma Winery was one of two wineries I had earmarked for our trip because I've been a fan since I first tried their wines at an event in Buffalo. I had to pick up the sweet mead and Blue Moon blueberry wine because our local liquor stores only seem to carry their Red Frog wine (which is good, too).

They aren't currently offering tastings like other wineries at the moment, but you can pick up a tasting kit to go, which I thought was a clever idea. I bought a Bubbly kit. It included five wine samples, crackers, chocolate fudge, and a wine glass for $9 (with a $3 coupon).

Everything

I wanted to stop by Montezuma on our way to Buffalo as it looked like they had a number of wines I would have loved to try! When we got there a gentleman was handling our tasting, forgot his name, but he was patient and extremely helpful with us in picking out something we would love. They let us choose 6 wines while also having one picked out for us to try.

We had to be strategic in our choices since there were so many I could have tried - wish we could have tried more! I had looked at ones I was interested in trying before we got there, some of them were not available at the time, so it

We have passed this winery before and so glad we stopped this time. You need to know that it is just not a winery but a distillery as well. So of course we each had to try a libration.

It was pretty crowded at 11 in the morning. But we found a spot. We did a wine tasting along with one tasting of bourbon (hubby) and orchard vodka (me). They had some really good wines. We ended up buying 3 wines.

There are a lot of great gift ideas as well. It was a wonderful experience.

If you like the sweet stuff, this place should be on your list - they have a pretty expansive wine list, so I wish I could've tried more of them, but you get to try 6 for $4, which is pretty good. I wasn't impressed with their ice wine - it tasted kind of off. I *was* very impressed with their mead, though, both the semisweet and the sweeter one (which is a very good price, only $13 a bottle right now). They also had a rhubarb "dessert" wine, which was pretty enjoyable, though it was a bit tart to be a proper dessert wine - still fun though.

If you like good spirits, you should

This was our last (winery number 13) stop on a dreary, damp Saturday that was part of the Bacon on the Lake-in wine tour promo on Cayuga Lake. Since this was more about the bacon infused dishes than the wine - I will comment on the bacon dish served here. Montezuma's served a dessert pizza with bacon baked in and lots of sugary goodness topped by a maple bourbon liquor that they produce here. One of the wines they served was made with Concord grapes - I thought most Finger Lakes wineries left those in the past but not here... and yes it did taste like Welch's grape juice... Being
