- ChelseySharon, Pennsylvania109 contributionsBeautiful winery; fun tasting experience!This was our favorite stop on our wine tour of Keuka Lake. The group of us all agreed we probably would have stayed here all day if we didn’t have others to go to. The tasting experience at the counter with Curt was top notch. He was sooo incredibly nice, very personable and he knew his stuff! They offer a lot of sweeter wines compared to others around the area. It is so good and this is the only winery we bought bottles from to take home!Visited June 2024Traveled with friendsWritten June 25, 2024

This was the first stop our group made on our weekend get away. We had a fabulous time. We enjoyed all the decor outside and inside the tasting room. We went on a Friday around 1 pm not busy at all. Our server Kurt was FABULOUS! He was very attentive and full of historical information that was both fun to listen to and interesting. He took his time with us and did not rush us through our tasting experience. Even when others came in for a tasting he finished what he was telling us went to help them and then returned to us and picked up where he left off. He was definitely invested in his job and loved it. Thus making for a great experience for us.

Bully Hill is a must visit for us every time we visit Keuka lake. Tastings are casual and they have a lot of varieties of wine to try. It's hard to beat the combination of enjoyable wine at a very reasonable price.

This was our first stop at Keuka Lake. We were there before 11am and had to wait until the first tasting. They are done on the hour. The tasting was $12 pp and it included 5 wines and you could pick from ten. They had a choice of a dry and a sweet for each tasting. This also included a take home glass and some crackers with either cheese spread or hummus. Kurt was doing the pours and was very friendly and knowledgeable telling the story about Walter and the adventures that brought the winery to what it is today. He had some great facts about the history and really explained the wine. We even bought a wine we normally would not have tried if he had not explained and recommended it for our taste. They ask that you make a reservation but at the time. We were the only people there.

Our party of six began our visit to the winery with an excellent tour by Kirk. He was knowledgeable, informative, friendly and funny. He explained the entire operation and we were fortunate to watch white grapes being crushed. Our group also got to meet and greet the goats. After the tour we visited the museum, art gallery and gift shop. The tasting room was very crowded and we had our "tastings" at lunch in the Bully Hill restaurant. Lunch was very good. The views from the winery are beautiful. The grounds are lovely, well maintained and many flowers were in full bloom. Even if you are not a wine drinker, Bully Hill is a MUST see.

The way it worked was you had a list in front of you of 5 categories of wines, each had two wines, and you had to pick one from each category. So right off the bat, it was a little annoying to not really be able to pick what you wanted to try: if you didn't like either wine in one of the categories, too bad.
Worse was that you all get sit down at the top of the hour, if you're more than five minutes late, they will literally just tell you to leave. We know, because we watched it happen to a couple who walked in late.
The woman running the tasting seemed to know a decent amount, but treated the tasters like children in a preschool class: one group was talking quietly and she turned to them and said "can I start with the [insert name of the wine here]?" I tried not to guffaw aloud at the audacity of the way she scolded them, but I digress.
The wines were decent, but the experience is hurried, strict, and commercialized, down to the way they ensure you leave through the gift shop. We bought something from literally every place we went, even when we didn't like anything particularly well, except that place. Where we breezed through the gift shop like "yeah ok bye."
Oh, and the staff at the restaurant was rude.

Bully Hill has it all with a tasting room, museum. gift shop and a nice restaurant, where we had lunch on the covered outdoor porch, overlooking Lake Keuka. This was our 2nd trip here, so we skipped the wine tasting and went to lunch, ordering glasses of the Chardonnay Riesling and Goat White that were good and reasonably priced at $6 and $7. What wasn't was the BBQ sampler at $26.99. It was on the chalk board as a special and I should have asked, with both of us thinking $20. The brisket was very good and the 5 chicken wings were good and the pulled chicken pretty good but in big chunks. There just wasn't enough of it for that price. Overall it is a very nice stop, a nicely maintained property, pretty flowers etc..

We have been coming here since the 80's when the split from Taylor was still a big thing and to be honest when Taylor was still a big thing. The place was not much to look at then but now it sure is. They were known for their (since copied) crazy labels. The wine is good but the setting is phenomenal and you would be making a mistake if you missed the jewel of the lake.

We stopped at Bully Hill to grab lunch and do some wine tasting. We were very happy to be able to enjoy our lunch on the outdoor deck overlooking the vineyard.
After lunch, we headed over to the tasting room. We enjoyed each wine we chose for each of the five rounds of tasting. The price was reasonable-$12PP for 5 tastings (choice of 10 wines) and a small serving of crackers with either hummus or cheese.
The staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

If you want to be treated like cattle, come in, drink up quick, and get out... this is for you. At least they let you keep the glass. Skip this tasting experience. I heard the restaurant is good, but we skipped it after the tasting. Made for 21 yo crowd. Pour, slam, your wine, pour again. Never again.

Beautiful views of Keuka Lake from on top of the hill where winery is located. Plenty of parking. Wine tasting are very enjoyable with friendly staff. There is a nice wine shop here with reasonable prices. There is also a winemaking museum and a small art museum here. This winery is worth a visit.
