A Truly Original Winery

We had such fun visiting Leidenfrost. The wines were varied, original, and pretty tasty and, while it doesn't necessarily matter, we loved the labels. The ladies who helped with our tasting were so nice and definitely knew their stuff. Top it all off with a...More

FANTASTIC WINERY

I absolutely loved my experience at Leidenfrost! The views of the lake are STUNNING, the tastings are amazing and low-cost, and the sweet wines are fantastic (esp. the Pink Flamingo wine). But the best thing to try, in my opinion, is their Niagra Lemonade! It's...More

Wines only so so. Staff half in the bag.

Went to Leidenfrost because Wine Spectator rated their 2015 and 2016 dry riesling super high. They had none to taste or sell. They had mediocre wines and horrible wine slushes that the staff was liberally drinking. Person pouring for us was chugging a rose straight...More

Great wine, Great service!

We highly recommend Leidenfrost Vineyards. We visited 37 wineries, and this one was one of the very best! Part of it was the wines--of course. We purchased several bottles. (Two years ago we visited, and I got locked in their bathroom! Not a negative, we...More

This was a spontaneous stop for us on our trip, but we are so glad we took a chance on this small, yet beautiful winery! Not only was the wine great, but Conner made the experience way more than we could have ever expected! He...More

"Worth the Stop"

My wife and I recently while visiting the wineries along Seneca Lake had the opportunity to visit Leidenfrost, our first. Its a very attractive winery inside with a small but very adequate tasting area, with an excellent and friendly staff. It incorporates a very large...More

Absolutely Luscious Gewurztraminer and Friendly Sommelier

OK, first a confession: We stopped at Leidenfrost because it looked beautiful from the road - no advance research, just a spontaneous stop. Much to my delight, their Gewurztraminer was the BEST I've ever had, and I've tried several. I'm most fond of very dry...More

One of our "must stop" on a wine tasting tour.

The first time we have came here we happened to catch the owner and he was more that gracious, allowing us to taste all the wines we were interested in. The next time we caught him again (mowing the lawn) and he joined us for...More
