Ten out of ten. Barbara the owner was great! It was a joy to talk with her while we had our tasting and the wine and meads were great! We loved hearing her story and hearing about the wines they have created. I highly recommend stopping by and doing a tasting here. We brought some wine and mead home to enjoy as well and I’m glad we did!

Yesterday, my friends and I stopped at this new winery for an apres-hike tasting. We thoroughly enjoyed all the wines we tried and especially the meads which were delicious without being syrupy. The owner was lovely and welcoming. We will be back for sure, would recommend!

We were heading to Canandaigua for a stay and stopped here on 1/31/24 for a tasting. We were the only couple there which was nice as we had the owner’s full attention. She is so lovely, personable and so knowledgeable about winemaking even though she bought the vineyard when she retired. Had a relaxing tasting for $10 each and we purchased 4 bottles. We had a very nice time and learned so much! Worth the visit!

Sunny day after weeks of gray...we headed out to explore. Targeted a winery we hadn't been to Bristol Valley Vineyards topped our list. Bardra the owner had a sign on the tasting room to call her upon our arrival. She arrived promptly. What a delight...she was charming and lovely. We felt right at home. Wines were wonderful. She recommended the tasting each while chapping with us to discern our delight. WOW ..we bought a dozen...we are headed back. Go here...off the usual trail but beyond worth it. Congratulations to her.

This little winery totally exceeded our expectations! Wine was amazing! Would highly recommend making the 10 mile drive outside Canandaigua.

This winery was the best choice we made on our first trip to the Fingerlakes. Our host was welcoming, knowledgeable, friendly, and gracious as we were clueless and clumsy tourists. And of course, every drink we tried was absolutely excellent and we left with several bottles of both the mead and wine. Add this to your list of stops around the lakes now!!

This winery is a hidden gem.First of all, the owner Barbara is a delight. I can’t believe that she started this winery when she retired. That takes courage and determination.The wines were delicious and good interpretations of NY grapes.Let’s talk about her mead making ability. We were very impressed with the raspberry mead. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.If you have limited time or wineries to visit-DON’T MISS THIS ONE!

GO TO THS VINEYARD!!! My boyfriend and I were in the area for vacation and wanted to go to a winery, and we decided to give Bristol Valley Vineyards a try. We are SO glad we did! We had a lovely, personalized experienced and enjoyed the incredible white wines, red wines, and meads (seriously, they were ALL absolutely delicious!) while talking with Barbara, the owner, who explained the wine-making process to us in detail. It was amazing to learn about the science of it all, and it was clear how much time, care, and effort she and her family have put into their vineyard. Much like a lot of other people in these reviews, we expected to leave having bought a couple of bottles, and we left with two whole cases! I cannot recommend visiting this vineyard enough, please give it a try! Thank you for a lovely visit, Barbara!!

This is a newer winery near Canandagua, just a little out of the way. Family owned with a tasting room, nice selection of red, white, and even mead. We enjoyed a flight of four and left with a couple of bottles. Worth a ride!

It’s a nice new building at an out-of-the-way location on a dirt road. The owner was nice and of course knowledgeable. The wine was so-so though. Try it for yourself.

This is a hidden gem of wineries. It is a mother, son owned winery who just recently built a beautiful tasting room. Barbra (the owner) was telling us that they have 5 acres of vines that they hand prune, pick, bottle and label. Such an enjoyable experience and could not recommend this place enough. Make sure to ask about the story behind the logo. It is a beautiful story that gave me goosebumps. Not to mention their fair pricing and the nice glass that came with the tasting price. Thank you Bristol Valley Winery!

Truly a hidden gem of the finger lakes. They're a newer operation but are certainly on the right track with their meads and wines, especially the reds. Truly a pleasure to speak with the owner and hear their story. Highly recommend!
