Party: Friends
The Stamp family moved to Lakewood Farm in 1951, and began planting vines the next year. All of the grapes they produced were sold to grape juice companies and large wineries until 1988 when they established Lakewood Vineyards and made wine from some of those grapes. Now, 35 years later, the Stamps utilize their grapes, as well as grapes from other Finger Lakes growers, and produce about 42,000 cases of wine annually.
With 3 family members leading the winemaking, the family is involved in every aspect of the winery on a daily basis. Working alongside dedicated and talented team members they strive to craft and present distinct, delicious wines that have helped characterize the area as a dynamic, respected wine region.
Located on the farm on the west side of Seneca Lake, Lakewood has a bustling tasting room overlooking vineyards that slope down toward Seneca Lake. They are open 361 days a year for tasting and sales.
