Tasting
Visit a crooked barn on a crooked lake.
View hours »
Stever Hill Vineyards, nestled among hundreds of acres of grapes in the heart of Keuka Lake wine country, welcomes visitors to the Crooked Barn Tasting Room, a beautifully renovated circa 1850s barn. Original hand-hewn beams and antique hardware, plus new construction from on-site harvested oak, hemlock, and walnut lumber, set the mood of a casual rustic lodge.
The 25 foot tasting bar is plenty comfortable for sharing wine and Finger Lakes ambience. Outside, our wraparound deck overlooks sun-drenched 180⁰ hillside views of mature woods and acres of vineyard.
Is the barn really crooked? Stop by for a visit and let us know what you think!
Our knowledgeable and friendly staff pours an extensive wine list featuring both dry and sweet wines to please every palate. To purchase Stever Hill Vineyards wine by the glass or by the bottle to enjoy on our comfortable deck, inquire in the tasting room.
