Greetings!

Our vineyard manager reports that the mixture of healthy rain in early June and an abundance of sunshine and high temperatures currently is the perfect formula for a growth spurt that puts us two weeks ahead of a normal growing season.  Consequently there is lots of activity in the vineyard! This is also a perfect time to visit the Finger Lakes and behold our beautiful vineyards and fields of wheat and corn alongside our beautiful lakes.  Here at Knapp Winery we feel fortunate to be in the midst of this incredible landscape, so we invite you to visit and taste our wines-it's like tasting what you see. 
 
Our winery is open daily from 10:00AM to 5:30PM and our restaurant is open daily from 11:00AM to 5PM.  We hope to see you soon!
