Leidenfrost is the kind of place that feels like a party when you walk in — the staff are warm and knowledgeable, the tasting room is beautiful, and the wine list is genuinely impressive. The reds are the stars here. Aged in French oak in the Burgundian tradition, the Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Cab Sauv are some of the most serious and enjoyable reds made anywhere on Seneca Lake.
John and Liz Leidenfrost have built something special — three generations of family dedication to a piece of land that shows its character in every glass. The deck and lawn overlooking the lake are perfect for an afternoon pour. If you think the Finger Lakes only does white wine, Leidenfrost will change your mind.
