Vintage Room

Sheldrake Point Vintage Room

Sheldrake Point Winery is lucky to have one of the most successful library programs in the Finger Lakes. Decades in the making, it contains over 5,000 bottles dating back to the winery’s inception in 1997. Library wines provide reference for both the vineyard and winemaking teams; giving them a sense of how our vineyard is developing and how our wines evolve in the bottle over time.

We created the Vintage Room to showcase a selection of those wines. The cork floor, vaulted trellis across the ceiling (invoking the inside of a barrel), stained glass windows, and stone masonry display the talent and collaboration of several local artisans, transforming a mid-19th century horse barn into an upscale space for experiential wine tasting.

The Vintage Room is available to rent for your special events. Please email Sam Ehrenreich at SAM@SHELDRAKEPOINT.COM for more details.

Vintage Room Tastings

We welcome guests to the Vintage Room Friday and Saturday at 12:00PM or 1:00PM seating times. Guests may choose from a list of library wines to taste, accompanied by a sampling of local cheeses to complement the selected wines. 

Tastings are $50 per person and are enjoyed inside the Vintage Room. Reservations are available for groups up to 4 people and can be made via TOCK.  A deposit of $25 per person is due when making a reservation.  Please email Sam Ehrenreich at SAM@SHELDRAKEPOINT.COM with questions.

Please note that we cannot accommodate children or persons under the age of 21 in the Vintage Room.

Just in time for your holiday gatherings comes our 2023 Beta Series Blanc de Cabernet Franc. It’s the perfect bottle to have in hand when you’re the party guest - or on hand when you host the celebration.

Composed of 100% Cabernet Franc, this sparkling wine pairs fabulously with holiday noshables like prosciutto, oysters, Chèvre, Parmesan, sushi, and brunch egg dishes. This bubbly even compliments potato chips!
