We stopped for dinner & a glass of wine. There was live music and my husbands favorite-popcorn! We both ordered the perch dinner with homemade chips-excellent choice-leftovers were definitely eaten! Enjoyed a glass of Geneva Fusion while my husband tried the Niagara-both good choices! We were here in April this year as well-had the Eggplant Parmesan special with Cayuga wine, which was new to this winery-delicious all around!
Had a great time, the wine and food was great! The Ramada Hotel told us about this time and if you show your room key they give you a discount.
We had lunch there and was kinda put off by all the messy birds. Wine is less than average, atmosphere is not very enticing. With all the beautiful wineries why would you go to one sandwiched between two main roadways. Our waitress was very nice but it took a long time to get our food. we were the only ones there for lunch.
The entry to this winery was surprisingly dominated by a independent jewelry saleswoman who bragged that this was a good location for her because the people who come to wineries have money and are drunk. Humor? Well, it was hard to 'get in the zone' at this winery after breaking away from her. The wine was average, the tasting bar service was good, the room was pleasant but the fireplace was unlit on the cold day we visited.
location ok more of a bar instead of a winery hubby and i had the sampler his is the reds i am the sweet fruity whites they have birds that are real cute to watch wine was good
This was my third time here. It was great as usual. I live about 45 minutes away and it was well worth the drive. If you are looking for pretentious snobs or hoity toity people, GO ELSEWHERE! No wine snobs here; however you WILL find delicious wines (the Niagara Mist is a nice, light, slightly effervescent white wine), fabulous prime rib and down home people who (when you are respectful & not a drunken bunch of wine tour people) will treat you like family. The only issue we had this last time was a bunch of snobbish, drunken fools who were on a 3 weekend 30 winery trail who seemed to think they were somehow more sophisticated than this local place. Great part was they came in, drank and LEFT! Other than that, it was great as usual and we will be back.
Deer Leap Winery has a nice selection of wines. The winery is close to several covered bridges in the area and many other wineries. Food selection was ok, wait time could use some work.
Please don't go out of your way if you're on the Wine Trail to stop here. The place looks like a VFW hall or Moose Lodge! They brought our samples in little plastic medicine cups. I'm sure its a great place for the locals to come and eat, but I don't consider it a winery.
Went here for dinner with friends on a weekend winery trip. Waitress was extremely nice and apologetic. However, due to a large party in the private room, it took us 90 minutes to get our dinners. Filets were well done and dry. The veggies were delicious as were the twice baked potatoes, red skin potatoes, and prime rib. Wine was ok. Music was very loud. Thank goodness we were inside, but every time the door opened we were blasted.
When you first drive up, it doesn't look like your typical winery that you would think of. But you know it is one when you walk in. They have great wine to choose from and have a huge selection too! I always get something off of their fruit wine or specialty wine list, only because they offer flavors that other wineries don't. So if you are in the Geneva area and looking to try a new winery, check this place out!
