Lakeview Wine Cellars

Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! The owners are so kind, recommending wines when we stated our preferences. Were extremely kind, joked with us, and provided great service! Wines were excellent, definitely recommend this place! :)

The owner was extremely friendly and we really enjoyed talking with her. Seems like they really love what they do and care about their customers. The location is gorgeous and they have a super cute Irish setter too loved the Long Point Red. This is a must stop if you want a beautiful spot and good conversation.

Nice winery. Tastings are 3 for $ 1 and the wines are separated by white and red, ordered from dry to sweet. The inside is sort of like a warehouse, but the tasting bar is really cute. It’s sand and shells from the beach!

My bf and I decided to hit some wineries that I had not been to previously (he has basically been to all of them!) this past Saturday afternoon and I am so glad we stopped at Lakeview! The woman who did our tasting was so friendly and knowledgeable about their wines, and she let us in on the fact that starting next month they have live music every Saturday outside, and they encourage you to purchase a bottle, bring a blanket or chairs and just soak up this gorgeous scenery! Upon entering, we were greeted by an Irish Setter who was so cute! My boyfriend and I chose to stick with the white wines (mostly) for our tasting and, per the suggestion of the staff, we sampled the Riesling. This is one of my favorite Rieslings I have sampled to date! Light and fruity yet not overly sweet, it was excellent! The shipwreck white was also quite tasty being a blend of Riesling, Cayuga, Vidal, and Vignoles. We tried two specialty wines that stood out, one was a blackberry noiret and it had a nice smooth taste with a slightly sweet aftertaste as well. The other, which I cannot recall the name, tasted very similar to actual whiskey (the staff warned us prior to imbibing as well) but it was still tasty, just not something I would order a glass of on my own. There was a local artist who had some beautiful pieces for same while we were there too, and we found out also, that this is a weekly event in the summer. All in all, I enjoyed our tasting and the beautiful view allowed from the back porch will ensure we will be back in the warmer months to share a bottle and enjoy the music.

It was absolutely great to meet the owners and enjoy their wine. My wife and I were blown away that the owners would take time to talk to us and get to know us. We will definitely visit Lakeview Wine Cellars every time we are in the area. They have by far the best view to sit, relax, and enjoy some amazing wine.

This was are first stop in the erie wine trail. a lil in the woods but great. We loved the women running that tasting she was knowledgeable about the wines and just a really nice person to talk to! She gave us suggestions for dinner and places to stop and see. she never put down any of the other wineries and the place was supper clean! Wine was great bought two bottles!

Just off the beaten path a bit, this winery is worth a stop. The owner clearly loves what he does as well as the area he is in. He is friendly and passionate as well as knowledgable. If you like reds, they have a few that are worth trying for sure. We didn’t taste the whites, but I suspect they are yummy as well.

We went to six different wineries over the Christmas holidays and these folks were by far the nicest bunch! The husband grabbed a glass of wine and joined us in our tasting and was more than happy to serve us as little or as much as we wanted from their extensive list of great wines. They also have reasonably priced gift items from the local area. The wife told me all about their wine shaped pond they made and what the place looks like in the spring. I definitely would go out of my way to go back here.

Spent a weekend in and around Dunkirk, NY with the significant other and some family, tasting what the region had to offer. Over the course of 3 days, we probably visited close to a couple dozen wineries, and tasted almost 75 different wines. Despite all the activities, Lakeview really stood out in my book.
The shop is a bit off the beaten path. We came across it more by accident than anything else. Crushed stone road, rather generic building, it didn’t really look like anything spectacular from the outside, but I was mistaken. The place is super clean, as in you could eat off the floors clean. The owner, a truly enthusiastic and knowledgable retired man who’s dream it was to start a winery, owns and runs the shop himself. He offered us a tour of the grounds and how exactly they make the wine, which was a nice treat. The back has a bottle shaped pond, a grapes planted over a number of acres, and a great little seating area.
A few of the wines have won awards, and they poured a generous amount for our tastings. He was happy to answer any and all questions we had about the wine process in general, or their wines in specific. He even went so far as to provide us with a map of some additional nearby wineries and even mark some new ones down that had yet to be added to the maps.
I liked the Concord wine (not much of a dry wine person) and bought a couple of bottles. Just the atmosphere and friendliness went a long way to making us feel welcomed and helping us to enjoy the trip. Would definitely return, if for nothing else, just to chat and learn a bit more.

A very friendly couple owns this place. It’s also surrounded by beautiful country, so GET THERE if you can!
We were well cared for on our visit to Lakeview. Not only were they knowledgeable about the wine (and helpful with recipe suggestions – for cooking with their wine), they were friendly and gave us a great map (and directions) to get to MORE wine!
After a nice tour of the facility, we moved on. Glad we took the time to find Lakeview. Very nice people… i suggest you go there!
