About
Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery, founded in 1958, ignited the Vinifera Revolution in the Finger Lakes by planting the first vinifera vines on Keuka Lake. Four generations of the Frank family produce highly acclaimed traditional method sparkling wines, crisp aromatic whites like Riesling, and rich reds from estate vineyards with the oldest Riesling, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir vines in the Eastern US.
