Varick Winery & Vineyard
Cobblestone Farm Winery & Vineyard, a nine year member of the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail, recently changed its name to Varick Winery & Vineyard. complimentary preserves, jellies, mustards, salsas, hot sauces, dipping oils, fruit butters, herb dips, salad dressings, BBQ sauces, and condiments, look no further than Varick Winery . Except for the new name, nothing is different. Varick Winery has the same owners, staff, wines, rocking chairs, cherry festival, and the same country store. It is located at the same address on the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail, 5102 State Route 89, Romulus, New York.
The owners of Varick Winery can no longer use the name "Cobblestone Farm Winery" since they were sued by a vineyard in California that claimed that it had the exclusive right to use the word "cobblestone". The California vineyard claimed that guests were likely to confuse Cobblestone Farm's winery and wines with the California winery and wines. Rather than litigate the issue, the owners of Cobblestone Farm Winery decided to change the name of their winery to Varick Winery & Vineyard.
The new name gives guests a sense of where the winery is located in the New York Finger Lakes; Varick Winery is located in the Town of Varick. Since the cobblestone house associated with the winery will soon open as an inn, naming  the winery and its inn after their location seemed to be appropriate. The Inn at Varick Winery is an 1833 home listed on the national and New York State registry of historical places.It is adorned with country and antique décor and offers four (4) beautifully appointed bedrooms with a king or queen-sized bed, private bath, cable television, air conditioning, high-speed internet, business amenities, breakfast, evening cocktails with hors d'oeuvres, afternoon tea, discounts at the winery, complimentary wine tastings, and a gift basket of Varick Winery products.
Please continue to join Varick Winery and The Inn at Varick Winery as they move forward. When you receive an email from Varick Winery or Varick Inn, just remember that it's your old friends at Cobblestone Farm Winery.
