About Standing Stone Vineyards
On the east side of Seneca Lake, Standing Stone Vineyards offers a modern tasting experience with a warm, welcoming feel and a beautiful deck overlooking vineyards and the lake—making it one of the most scenic and relaxing stops on the Seneca Lake Wine Trail.
But beyond the views and beautiful tasting room, Standing Stone is rooted in deep Finger Lakes history. The vineyard site was originally planted in the 1970s by the Gold Seal Company with Riesling and Chardonnay, making it one of the region’s historic vinifera sites. These old vines remain in production today and have established a deep root systems. These old vines produce low yields, and small clusters, leading to wines with exceptional concentration, balance, and complexity.
Standing Stone is also a leader in Saperavi, a bold, high-acid red grape native to the Republic of Georgia. After planting two experimental rows in 1994, the vineyard is now home to the largest planting of Saperavi outside of Georgia, with over six acres under vine. Their Teinturier Series showcases Saperavi in a variety of styles—from classic dry red, to dry rosé, to a sparkling brut rosé called SSV Teinturier. Teinturier refers to grapes that have red skin and red flesh, a rarity in the wine world, and one that delivers extra depth, color, and flavor.
Managed by the same team behind Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard, Standing Stone blends a legacy of historic vineyard stewardship with a bold, innovative winemaking vision. Whether you're exploring age-worthy whites from old vines or powerful, cool-climate reds, this is a stop that captures both the heritage and evolution of Finger Lakes wine.
