About Our Wines

At Hunt Country Vineyards, we craft wines for every taste and table.  From classic dry vinifera wines, like Riesling, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay, to distinctive contemporary varietals like Seyval Blanc, Vignoles and our renowned Vidal Blanc Ice Wine, our goal is your enjoyment of a handcrafted wine of excellent value that captures the unique character of the Finger Lakes and our sixth generation family farm.

The Finger Lakes region is blessed with hot summers to ripen the grapes and chilly nights in early fall that capture even the most delicate fruit flavors.  Our farm’s gravelly loam soil retains the natural nutrients and provides excellent drainage.  The sloping western flank of Keuka Lake helps ventilate the vines by maintaining airflow toward the valley floor.  The cold water temperature of the lake in spring reins back the development of fruit buds until the danger of frost has passed.  In the fall, the lingering warmth of the lake water holds off early frosts and lengthens the ripening season by up to several weeks.

Since 2004, our wines have garnered 60 major awards (Gold, Double Gold, Best of Class or Best of Show) in prestigious competitions across the country.  For a convenient summary of all our wines, examine our wine comparison chart.  You may order online all of our wines, securely and easily.  We are also proud to present a bevy of over 60 wonderful Hunt Country recipes, and suggestions for enjoying our wines with a variety of delicious cheeses.
