Uncork New York Wine at Fox Run Vineyards
Uncork a New York wine on the steep slopes of Torrey Ridge and step back in time with a view of Seneca Lake from a Civil War Era Barn. Scott Osborn purchased this old dairy farm and planted the first grape vines in 1984 then named his creation Fox Run Vineyards. Scott is not only a strong advocate of wine but also of garlic for a healthier life style. In 1993, the old barn was converted to a modern wine making facility. This was used until a building was erected up the slope in 1996 because of the need to expand.
This vineyard not only has the French-American hybrid vines that the Finger Lakes area is known for but also the non-hybrid European Vinifera variety. Tours leave every hour so visitors can see and enjoy the whole process done at Fox Run. The daily operating hours are from 10 am to 6 pm Monday thru Saturday and 11 am to 6 pm on Sunday. A café was recently opened for lunch and early dinners with hours Monday thru Thursday of 11am to 3 pm and Fridays thru Sunday from 11 am to 5pm.
Voted one of the top 100 vineyards in the world and received best buy recognition from both the Food & Wine and Wine Enthusiast magazines, this is a New York Wine worth enjoying. Perched on the slopes of Torrey Ridge visitors can enjoy the flavors of many wines in the tasting room. Varieties available are the Chardonnay, Riesling, Dry Riesling,
Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Lemberger, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc/Lemberger, Sable, Fox Trot Red, Artic Fox, Gewurztraminer, Ruby Vixen and Ruby Port.
