Montezuma was a great place to start when visiting Cayuga. There was only on group of four there when we were, so kind of quiet. When you first walk in you don’t know where to look first since the gift shop has so much to offer. The tastings were a little steep at $12 each but did offer five (small) samples in little plastic cups and a mulled spice type wine to try. The tasting kit had a bottle of water, crackers, tortilla chips to go with cheeky monkey, a souvenir glass, and a small piece of chocolate fudge. The wines were not the best I’ve had but the experience and the gift shop were worth it. I’d like to try it again when Covid doesn’t put a damper on things.

There was a fabulous selection of wines and spirits. Jon conducted our tasting and he was very knowledgeable and passionate about the wines. He gave us some great recommendations and was just a top notch person. We will definitely be visiting again the next time we are in the area.

We enjoyed our visit to Montazuma Winery. Danielle assisted us with our wine tasting. She was very nice and knowledgeable about the wines. Tastings were $12 for 6 selections and included a souvenir wine glass or $10 if you don’t want the glass. They give you a $2 coupon good towards purchase of a bottle.

This place has SO many great wines. Only negative was that the staff seemed overwhelmed with an event coming and when we ordered our tastings we felt like we were bothering them. We spent a massive amount of money there though bc of all the tasty wines and we would def go again. Great slushees!!

We took a one day tour of vineyards in the Finger Lakes and our guide started the day by stopping here. Skip this place entirely - its a tourist trap. You get a souvenir bag with popcorn, fudge and glasses with the vineyard's logo but the wine is terrible. They serve the wine in tiny plastic cups, like you would put ketchup in at a fast food place. Very wasteful and not environmentally friendly. Also the service was slow and unfriendly. Luckily we found many other good vineyards after this bad start to the day. Drive past this one and go straight to the better vineyards.

I do not like to write negative reviews, but this was not a good experience. I know everyone has to be safe due to Covid, but they have gone too far, and not a good place to go at least as of this time. If you want to do a tasting of either their wine or distilled products, it has to be to go. And what this means is they pour your samples into tiny little plastic cups with lids and put them in a bag also containing a snack, bottle of water, and piece of fudge. Well, the beverage samples are very small, and both my wife and I had leaks by the time we got to them. This was our first stop on a long weekend and all other wineries and breweries we visited were making it work, while also being safe, and none were doing anything like this....Skip it many other places to go.

We got to sample several different wines, all of which were wonderful. Our server, Angela, was very knowledgeable once we let her know what we were looking for, and made some great suggestions. We ended up buying 7 bottles of wine, and will be back to buy more the next time we are in the area. Overall, the experience was a great stop on our travels, and we definitely recommend this winery.

When we are in the Finger Lakes we always stop by Montezuma Winery and each time the staff members are both friendly and informative, the samplings are no-pressure and fun, and then we purchase our favorite wine, Fat Frog Blush. The store has unique offerings of wine-related items and food and gifts - and the tastings and events there sound very enjoyable. Our favorite winery!

We dropped by early on a Sunday morning, heading east to Skaneateles and did not do the wine tasting, but did like their gift shop and fudge. Their fudge was great and after a few samples decided on an excellent dark chocolate, that was gone before we reached Skaneateles. The gift shop was full of many attractively displayed unique gift items, including many clever signs, and we purchased a wine saucer. They also had home brewing supplies. Very friendly staff.

Our group of 4 really enjoyed our experience here! Dave was fantastic and so informative. He spent a lot of time with us and made our experience all the better. We especially liked that we weren't limited to pre-arranged flights. We were each able to pick out individual selections for wine tasting from their large menu. We found two wines that we especially loved and bought 2 cases. They had a nice gift store also. All in all, one of the best experiences we had on our wine tour of 5 wineries in the area.

I have previously worked at Montezuma Winery. Not only a great place to work, but I always bring my friends and family to taste their wines. The list of wines contains sweet and dry wines, even though the emphasis is heavily on sweet fruity wines.Examples include the Diamond which is made of mostly sweet concord grapes, cranberry bog which is 100 percent all cranberry, and our famous Fat Frogs. The Fat Frogs include the Fat Frog Red (all sweet concord grapes), Fat Frog White (all Niagara grapes), and the Fat Frog Blush (all Catawaba grapes). Stop on by. There is a really nice gift shop.
