Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to make a reservation for tasting?

Book here.
Saratoga Springs: Reservations can be made by phone by calling (518) 430-2007 during business hours.
Do you accommodate large groups for tastings?
We can easily accommodate groups of 6 and occasionally groups of up to 8 people for tastings. Please note that reservations for groups of 6–8 are very limited and tend to book quickly, so we strongly recommend reserving in advance.
Penn Yan: If your group is larger than 8, we’d still love to host you! While we’re not able to offer tastings for bigger parties, you’re warmly invited to relax outdoors on our patio with wine by the glass or bottle. It’s a relaxed and scenic way to gather at or around a table, share good company, and take in the views of Keuka Lake.
Is there a fee for tastings?
We are excited to now offer two tiers of tastings so more of our award winning wines can be enjoyed! Both our Classic wines and single-vineyard Estate wines are available for tastings.
Classic Tastings - $15.00
Estate Tastings - $20.00

What food options are available during my visit?
Come hungry—we have you covered. The Vista Table open-air food truck offers a rotating menu of fresh, seasonal dishes designed to pair beautifully with our wines. From shareable plates to heartier bites, it’s the perfect complement to your tasting or a bottle enjoyed at your table overlooking Keuka Lake.
We also offer a selection of local cheeses, crackers, and snacks to complement your picnic—or you can order food from The Vista Table on-site. Guests are also welcome to bring takeout from local restaurants.
During the summer, we often host food trucks as part of our Summer Concert Series, adding even more delicious options to enjoy with your wine.
Are outside beverages permissible?
Outside alcoholic beverages are not permitted, as our property is licensed exclusively for Keuka Spring Vineyards wines. We however offer wine by the glass and by the bottle for you to enjoy as you take in the beauty of the Finger Lakes or a meal around one of our outdoor tables. For your convenience, we also offer a wide selection of non-alcoholic options during your visit.

Commercial photography, influencer collaborations, brand shoots, and all drone operations (whether for personal or sponsored content) require prior written approval from our team.
If you’d like to request permission to film, photograph, or fly a drone on our property, please complete this request form and email it to info@keukaspringvineyards.com with details about your project.
This policy helps us protect the comfort and safety of our guests, maintain the beauty of the vineyard, and ensure that all content aligns with our brand values. Thank you for your understanding!
