Ferment to be Wild: Creative Minds, Eager Hearts, Exceptional Wines
Idol Ridge Winery is located on the East side of Seneca Lake just 20 minutes north of Watkins Glen. Perfectly placed up on the ridge, our lodge-style tasting room and outdoor patio allow for a beautiful, picturesque view of Seneca Lake. We offer an array of wines such as our Sparkling Saperavi, Semi-Dry Riesling, and natural-inspired Local Culture wines. In addition to wines, we also craft premium distilled spirits through Alder Creek Distillery. Our signature spirits include a Smoked Bourbon Whiskey and Best of Class Nashi Pear Brandy.
Enjoy a traditional tasting of both our wines and spirits or sip on a wine, cocktail, or mimosa flight. Our tasting room also offers homemade fudge, local bites, and gifts. We are pet-friendly and accept large groups. Private Airbnb cabins are also available for overnight guests. We invite you to visit us here up on the Ridge where everyone is welcome to sit back, relax, and enjoy the view!
