Silver Thread Vineyard

We had a fabulous experience here--they have wonderful hospitality and amazing wines at such a beautiful set-back location. Definitely a winery not to be missed!!

No one was there. Beautiful day outside and they wouldn’t let us do a tasting without an online reservation. You could go in and buy wine, but that’s it. We even asked if we could make a reservation on line since no one was there and she said no. The only winery in Seneca lake with this rule. Every other winery so accommodating and friendly. Don’t bother to stop. Won’t be back, won’t recommend, too many other wonderful wineries with friendly service. Go to Wagner next door. You won’t be disappointed.

Silver Thread is one of the true hidden gems in terms of wineries in the Finger Lakes. I've been visiting for quite a few years and have never been disappointed. The owners Shannon and Paul are great people. I recently enjoyed a private indoor tasting in their wine cellar library room with Shannon. She's incredibly knowledgeable and it is always great to taste through their lineup with her. They are a small winery and going out of their way to ensure safety of all guests during this time with reservations being required for wine tastings. It is absolutely worth it though and helps ensure not only everyone's safety but also that you are able to get a highly personalized tasting experience.nIf you have the opportunity to try several of their single vineyard rieslings side by side you should take advantage of it. It is fascinating to see just how different each vineyard expresses itself in the wine. I really can't recommend this winery enough. The wines and experience are always fantastic. I've introduced several people to Silver Thread over the years and they've always loved it as well.

This was a great,very personal experience. Janice was very knowledgeable and educated us on the wines. Out of all the wineries we tried,Silver Thread wine was the best. So glad we went!

We did a virtual wine tasting for my mother's birthday. Shannon was fantastic from start to finish - answering all my initial questions, helping to set it up, and then hosting a wonderful zoom for us. We tasted 3 wines and she walked us through tasting them, trying the wines with the various foods each of us had at our different homes, and answering out many and varied questions. Everyone had a great time and it was a wonderful family activity we could do from Texas, Virginia, and Pennsylvania - staying COVID safe, seeing family and enjoying wine!
