About

Barnstormer Winery is a boutique Finger Lakes winery established in 2013, housed in a historic pre-Civil War barn on 16 acres along Seneca Lake, NY. They produce around 4,000 cases annually from 100% Finger Lakes AVA fruit sourced from seven growers, focusing on dry red wines, Riesling, and dry rosé with single-vineyard bottlings emphasizing site expression. Their low-intervention winemaking highlights the unique microclimates of Seneca Lake through thoughtful farming and sustainable practices.
