Since our founding in 1979, Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard has been a pioneer of viticulture and winemaking in the Finger Lakes. Hermann came to the region determined to produce fine wines that would garner national attention. Today, our estate spans 80-acres of prime vineyard sites on the western slopes of Seneca Lake and our wines are among the most acclaimed in the region.
We went to Hermann J. Wiemer without reservations, and they were nice enough to accommodate us. The tasting was done in one of the rooms overlooking the vineyards. We were given an ample selection of wines to pick for our tasting, with no limit as to the number of wines we could choose. They give 2.5 ounces per wine which is enough to share between two people. We wanted to buy every wine we tried, as they are of excellent quality. We ended up buying 4 bottles. This is definitely a winery I would like to visit again. The staff was very knowledgeable and overall friendly. Great experience!
Wonderful vineyard with a lot of history behind it. Our server was extremely knowledgeable in all the wines and she went above and beyond to provide excellent service and education for us on the history of the vineyard. We're definitely bringing home their signature Riesling!
Fantastic experience! We walked in without reservations, but would recommend making them just in case! We happened to be in the area and I am a huge fan of their biodynamic vineyard Riesling from 2018. They just happened to have it on the menu. The staff was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I even bought myself a little grapevine to take home!!
This winery was the highlight of our trip! Linda was very helpful and all of the staff were gracious. We are not overly experienced, but the Rieslings were the best we ever tasted! The set up inside was comforting regarding COVID conscience protocols! A hidden gem was found this weekend and we will be back!
What started as a fun wine tour with a friend ended up being a beautiful learning experience with Heather. Heather is incredibly open to all kinds of discussion about wine and is truly very knowledgeable about the winery and wine itself. She is incredibly passionate about the history, present, and future of all things Herman J Wiemer. Through our tasting experience, I feel connected to Wiemer vineyards and more confident in my palette. As students, my friend and I are incredibly thankful for the wine tasting experience we had today with Heather being our guide through it all. I would like to extend a big thank you to the entire team at Wiemer and highly recommend that anyone and everyone visit the winery!
