Our award-winning wines are born from the finest quality grape must sourced from farm vineyards across many regions.

Best Winery Ever!!!!!!!!! and I have been to many, all over the United States....Will be back for Winter Carnival Feb 4-5

Thank you Neisha! We are happy that you enjoyed your experience and look forward to having you back!

I was led to believe that this was a winery from the website..Upon arriving I discovered not only do they not press their own grapes they farm out to a 3rd party and don't even use NYS grapes... The wines are fine but overpriced across the board...

The definition of a winery is an establishment where wine is made. Our Lake George location is now only our tasting room. It was also our winery, until very recently (due to growth of customer demand) we have moved our wine-making facility to a much larger off-premises location. We are a licensed and bonded New York State Winery and work very hard to make the 35+ wines that are on our list. We choose to source our grapes (yes we have them crushed for us) from farm a few farm vineyards in California. Because we are located in Lake George and have thousands of people from all walks of life coming through our doors, our FIRST PRIORITY is to have a wine to please every customer and palate. Using this grape sourcing method is what allows us to make all the different wines we do and offer consistency and quality year-round. We are proud to say that our wines have already won 25 medals in just two years. Regarding the price comment, we are pleased to say that the majority of our wines are priced under $20, which is considered value-priced in the world wine market. Two years in a row we have won six medals at the World Value Wine Challenge, which is limited to wines priced $20 and under.

Enjoyed the wine tasting experience but felt rushed by our server. We did buy several bottles of wine & will return to the Winery again on our next visit.

Very pleasurable experience. I live in the village, and enjoy going in to taste the new wines for the season. When my friends from New Jersey come visit, we always stop there.

Whenever I have guests visiting the Adirondack Winery is ALWAYS a stop on my tour of the region. Their staff is friendly, outgoing and fun. They interact with their customers and make their guests feel like they are long lost friends. It doesn't take long for anyone I bring there to immediately fall in love with the winery and take several bottles home with them, not just to enjoy themselves, but to also give as gifts. As a matter of fact, when I go to visit friends in other parts of the Northeast, and ask if I can bring anything, they always request a bottle of wine from the Adirondack Winery.

My fiance and I visit Adirondack Winery every time we are in town! We enjoy the friendliness of the staff as we taste the superb variety of wines. They are excellent at explaining the intricacies of wine in layman's terms. I just love the labels that are designed with photos taken by the owner! I have all of the bottles displayed in my kitchen and looking at them brings me back to the beautiful scenery I was surrounded by as a child. Adirondack Winery is a a must visit!

" Great wine at great prices. Even though I have purchased several wines from this great micro winery, I still like to sample each and everytime I go in to the store. I work in Lake George every summer and since they have opened their doors, we have taken a case or two home to New Orleans. Keep up the good work guys!!!

I have been going to the Winery since it first opened. The wines are all excellent. My girlfriend and I love to try new wines and enjoy the experience of the tastings. Our favorite wine is the Red Barn. We recently enjoyed their port wine, Calm After the Storm. Prices are fair and you can benefit with their wine specials of the week as well as buying six or a dozen bottles for a discount.

The Blue Twilight Wine at Adirondack Winery:

One word describes this wine, AWESOME! I gave out this wine as gifts during the holidays and everyone said the same thing, "there was no need to save the cork, the bottle was empty in 5 minutes!"
I could tell you how great this wine is until I am "blue" in the face, but the only way you will know for yourself is if you try it!

I wanted to surprise my sister and do something different for her bachelorette party. The winery was recommended to me from a co-worker. The bridal party got together, rented a convertible and headed North! The first stop was the winery. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but what a quaint little place. We loved it!! The atmosphere is relaxing, and the staff is so friendly! We had so much fun. We all have been back since, together and with other people. I have recommended it so many times now.
Almost a necessity when you are driving to Lake George to stop in.
I have my own set of Adirondack Winery glasses.
Not only have I stopped in many times, but ordered online as well (though it is alot more enjoyable to stop in) The service and the wine is impeccable!
A place to have fun with friends and family, and when you leave you feel like you have made even more friends. A++++++

I first had the opportunity to visit the Adirondack Winery during the last weekend of Americade in June. The relaxing atmosphere and the accomodating proprietors provided a welcome respite from the wild and crazy yet enjoyable chaos that is typically Americade. My close friend and I were able to sample several delicious wines. We selected 3--one to enjoy that evening and one for each of us to take home. The proprietors are amiable and knowledgeable--while visiting their store you feel as though you have just been reacquainted with old friends. If you are in the Lake George area, a visit to the Adirondack Winery is a must!

In most recent times when one thinks of Lake George , one remembers going there when he or she where young. Well, now more than ever is a chance to revisit your past and even more important to visit the present.

Such is a place called Adirondack Winery. A warm and glowing review that you can pass down to generation to generation. All one must do is travel to 285 Canada Street . There you can taste the Freshness of the Adirondack Wines, the whites, red and not to forget the relaxing ports.

In my travels from Connecticut to Lake George, Our First stop is the Adirondack Winery, so when we relax, staring over Lake George, our worries and stress is washed away, even for a small moment, that we place into our memories and revisit them again and again.

Make Adirondack Winery your Stimulus Package.

My husband and I tried our first wine tasting on Valentines Day for our anniversary. What a great time! The winter festival was going on so there was lots to do. We decided to stop in the winery as we parked on that edge of town. Although the place was crowded we were at the bar in no time. We were offered three tastings each. We chose the peach, blackberry, strawberry, green apple, black cherry and blueberry. Although all were great, we loved the Blackberry Sunset. The atmosphere was inviting and the staff very pleasant. We will definitely go back to visit. This is a must if you are visting Lake George.
