Prejean Winery currently has approximately 30 acres of active vineyards in which we grow thirteen varieties of grapes. Vinifera grown include Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Hybrid varieties grown include Traminette, Vignoles, Cayuga, Valvin Muscat, Marechal Foch, Noiret and Corot Noir. All Prejean Wines are estate grown and produced.

    Cane & VIne Wine Cellars

    Mike and Jayne Gibbs, a husband-and-wife team, opened Can & Vine Wine Cellars in 2025, expanding their portfolio alongside Toast Winery on the south end of Seneca Lake. One wine Mike is particularly excited about is his bone-dry Cayuga White. While this varietal is often produced in a sweeter style, the 2023 vintage was so exceptional when made bone-dry that he chose to bottle it. He also enjoys crafting pétillant naturel (pét-nat) wines. Can & Vine will offer a Dry Sparkling Rosé of Marquette made in the pét-nat style.

  6. Anthony Road Wine Company

    one hour Admission included

    Arrive at this charming pioneering property on 100 acres of the northwestern bank of Seneca Lake. Taste through the crafted portfolio of Anne & John Martini. With the help of friends and family, they planted the first grapes, all hybrid varieties, in 1973. An array of wine is produced – from dry to dessert – with a range of tastes designed to please connoisseurs and casual aficionados alike.
