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 from 11:00AM-2:00PM. 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

The sheldrake effect: Tour & Libary Tasting

Since we opened in 1997, we have learned a thing or two about growing grapes and making wine. We are excited to offer a new tour and tasting experience- “The Sheldrake Effect”.

This bimonthly event will include an educational (uphill) walking tour through our vineyard and production facility, followed by a tasting in our Vintage Room, where we will sample library wines alongside small food pairings prepared in-house.

We are excited to share with you our passion for our land, winemaking practices, and extensive library of wines that span over two decades. Reservations are required to attend and can be made via TOCK.

For $80 per person, guests receive an educated walking tour with a senior staff member and a flight of four library wines accompanied with small bites made in-house. Please note, this experience is for persons over 21 years old, minors are prohibited from attending. Currently, there is no motorized vehicle for this tour. Please be prepared for inclement weather (rain boots, jackets, or umbrellas).
