We are

The Simmons Family

It started in 1963…

…when Joyce and Neil Simmons traded salvaged lumber to buy their first vineyard. Simmons Vineyards has grown from 40 acres to one of the larger vineyards in the northeast with more than 500 acres, over 23 grape varieties, and vineyards on both Keuka and Seneca Lakes.

The Simmons Family

A Vision of Joy, Belonging, and Excellence

PANA1847

Annette and Jeff Simmons, vineyard owners for over 45 years, acquired Keuka Spring Vineyards in 2022, a winery on Keuka Lake known for an amazing team, award-winning wines and picturesque views.

They are guided by the belief that “life happens at the table,” and that wine serves as a catalyst to build community and inspire joy.

They are dedicated to raising the profile of Finger Lakes wines and they strive to create a welcoming space where people can gather, connect, and celebrate.

Our Vision

The Four Pillars of the Simmons Family Vision

All Glass Raised

Life Happens at the Table

Moments of meaning happen when people gather - over food, wine, stories, and time.

They believe “Life happens at the table”. Where great wine and food spark deep connection, laughter, and joy. Where community is built, life is processed, and memories are made. The place we come together. The heart of what truly matters. Jeff and Annette want Keuka Spring Vineyards to be a catalyst for those moments, and a place where guests feel a sense of joy and belonging.

All Glasses Raised

Whether it's a toast at harvest, a Tuesday dinner, or sparkling at a party, every person and every moment deserves to be celebrated. Keuka Spring Vineyards offers three distinct tiers of wines designed to delight every palate - from the curious newcomer to the seasoned enthusiast.

Our wines are perfectly matched with any occasion - in everyday moments and special celebrations. Our portfolio includes the approachable Classic series, the vineyard-centered Estate collection, and the exclusive Winemakers Reserve, each reflecting our passion for winemaking and sharing the unique character of the Finger Lakes with the world. The team also plans to launch a low alcohol brand later this year.

Belief in the Finger Lakes

The Finger Lakes region is our home - and one of the most exciting cool-climate wine regions in the world. The region is earning national and international acclaim for its diverse winemaking styles, impressive range of grape varieties, and ideal growing conditions shaped by glacial lakes and a cool climate.

The Simmons family is investing intentionally in elevating the awareness of Finger Lakes wines through industry collaboration, quality wines, education, and storytelling.

All Tables Matter

Not everyone can gather freely at the table.

That is why we also believe that hospitality begins with food security and that everyone deserves a seat at the table. This belief has driven our involvement with local initiatives to help ensure quality protein is available to more people in our communities.
