Keuka Overlook

Keuka Overlook is a small winery with the wine tasting room in the cellar of a refurbished barn – a wine cellar that truly is in the cellar! Bob Barrett, the owner, considers wine making a craft and prides himself on hand-crafted wine – using an original 6 spout filler, hand corking, hand labeling each bottle and adding the capsules using the old tea-kettle method. Over 45,000 bottles each year!!

If you get a chance (and there’s an opening) be sure to check out the winemakers’ weekend getaways from January to May. You’ll stay in a lovely restored Victorian home and enjoy great food and wine along with an education and lively conversation. Bob and Terry have been hosting these dinners for over 12 years and have a complete photo album to share.
