Stunning views. Decent food with super quick service. Some of the restaurant staff were nice, others seemed annoyed to be there. Tasting room was just okay. Would have been nicer if it was outside and not just part of a store. The young guy who helped with our tasting was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC and made the experience enjoyable. Everyone in our group bought a couple of bottles to take home. Overall, worth the stop!

There’s so much to love for this particular vineyard and it just keeps growing in popularity!!!!We’ve been coming back for the past 15-20yrs since dear Ed was still working behind the wine tasting counter.For some reason Ed just seemed to make the wine and the atmosphere so much better.We love the wine, food, location, staff but our favorite is the artworks that is on every bottle. Each artwork has so much depth and history.Location is absolutely breathtaking! It’s situated on a hillside overlooking the Keuka Lake and If you drive a little further past the winery you can stand on some of the large rocks and see where the actual forks of the Finger Lakes!!!Wine - hands down winner for us!Food and their restaurant is very delicious.Prices is very reasonable.Seated outside on their patio is priceless.Menu hasn’t hanged much but it’s still delicious and there’s a little for everyone.Staff is super friendly.Service is fantastic although ordering in non traditional. You have to go up to their counter and place your order like a fast food restaurant. Not bad but it works.Cleanliness is great.Gift shop is fantastic. It has a little something for everyone as well.Views from Bully Hill is the most beautiful compared to others but the best thing of course is their wine!!Overall everyone will enjoy it and they continue to be consistent with great wine, food and staff. Thanks for all wonderful memories Bully Hill.

Nice mix of sweet and dry wines. Staff was super friendly, especially in the tasting areas. The food at the restaurant was awesome. A ton of paintings made by the founder and cool history of the vineyard in the museum. All in all, a very nice way to spend the day. This was our favorite vineyard near Keuka Lake!

It was our first time at this winery that a friend recommended. My husband & did the wine tasting. Dylan was behind the bar. He knows his job well, from all the different wines they offer to the history of the winery, which made it a more personal & fun experience. It has a beautiful view of the lake. We bought both merchandise & wine. This is now one of my top wineries. We will definitely be back.

Was greeted by a wonderful host. He was friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable about the menu and specials. Food was great, ordered the hash special. Although I wish they had just a little more on the plate, I was not disappointed.Update: came back a couple weeks later and ordered salads, great salads!

I had a great time at Bully Hill while waiting for a friend to join me. I got to do some tastings before heading over to the restaurant for a late lunch. The wines and food are exceptional. Can’t wait to go back.

The views are absolutely stunning from this vineyard with a rich a fascinating history. Our group enjoyed our wine tasting! We didn’t eat at the restaurant but I did have a few of the delicious wine chocolates sold in the gift shop.

Went in the free tour and then did some tastings. Our tour guide did our tasting and he was super friendly and helpful! Tip: the store outside (not in the tasting room) had some items on sale, so be sure to check it out.

This was my first wine tour and am so happy Bully Hill Vineyards was part of it! Spent the day with a great friend, beautiful surroundings, fun atmosphere and excellent employees who make you feel like you’re the only ones there. They were awesome and very knowledgeable and Bully Hill has the best sweet wine selection ever! Definitely going back again and again, so much fun!!

Second time stopping into the physical store. Staff is amazing and so helpful. We did tastings and I did the cookie tasting that was a winter special. 10/10 recommend their wines; Sweet Walter holds a special place in my heart. I can’t wait to come back again. We weren’t originally going to eat there but they had a corn chowder special thag was to die for! We also tried the crab cake special. I’m usually not a huge fan of crab cakes but they became a favorite! Also can’t forget to mention the amazing view; pictures don’t do it justice.

Super nice staff. Great location and beautiful views. Many sweet wines and limited dry whites. Some reds available. However, I definitely say to stop here. Engaged staff who are willing to share their knowledge and assist you with choosing which wines to sample.

WHAT A GREAT TIME! A group of 11 of us scheduled a wine tasting experience here as part of a bachlorette party weekend. This was our first stop and I’m so glad it was! The sommelier/bartender Dylan is an absolute gem. He made our experience just so nice, he was friendly, funny, entertaining, and knowledgeable!!! All of the wines were delicious, and to be honest, I’m usually more of a beer drinker but since last weekend I am on a rosé bender! And you can’t beat the price for tasting! You even get to keep one of their wine glasses as a souvenir. I was so excited when I got home from my trip to see that my local wine and spirits distributor Carries Bully Hill wines. I told the owner to stock up on more because I’m obsessed with their whites and rosés.This place has a beautiful deck as well we were able to get lots of great pictures. Thank you guys for making my sisters bachelorette weekend very memorable!!

Really nice experience! Only tried sweet wines and really were all great and very well priced! Favorites were Ravat 51 and Peach! Also so nice that they give a active and former service discount! Thank You! Also stayed for lunch and while was a bit pricy was very good and glad to have so convenient!

Fun atmosphere for sweet wines and carefree afternoons. Sample and taste as you view the amazing overlook of the rows of grapes and the lake below. Friendly staff to support your journey.

I’ve been visiting Bully Hill my entire life and every time I go back it gets better and better. Wine slushies and fresh farm to table food at the restaurant in the summertime, Keuka swag like none other from the gift shops, and of course the wine tastings are on the top of my list but my absolute favorite part of BHV is the history behind the vineyards, Walter Taylors story and diverse artwork on (and off) the labels. Everyone who works on the hill goes above and beyond with customer service, it seems like employees genuinely want to help and make sure you enjoy the experience. Other must do’s during your visit: get a walking tour of the production area, visit the art museum, pet the goats! Beautiful landscaping, relaxed home town feel, one of the best views of Keuka Lake. 10/10 recommend making this a visit when you’re in the finger lakes!!!

We visited for Sunday lunch on the restaurant's covered patio, overlooking Keuka Lake and the vineyards. The smoked salmon salad and pineapple carrot cake we had were superb. If you told me I was doomed to relive an afternoon over again forever, but as consolation I could choose which one, I might well choose this one - it was that good.

Did not try the wine. Only went for lunch, bbq sampler. Brisket was very dry. Pulled pork and smoked wings were on point. Jalapeno cornbread was good but didn't taste like anything with the pepper. Coleslaw excellent.Pro: wings, pulled pork and coleslaw, viewsCons: $4 diet Pepsi can. Absolutely ridiculous. Partner has crab cake and there was a ton of shells.

Without question, Bully Hill has the most interesting of backstories among the many Finger Lakes Wineries.The view is breathtaking, the employees are friendly, and the wine is great. The family is still heavily involved in day-to-day activities, and I had the pleasure of talking with Stephen Taylor, Walter's son, while I was there.If you can only visit one Finger Lakes winery on your visit - I recommend this one.

One of the best wineries, in the Finger Lakes. Nice range of well-made wines from dry to sweet - to please any palet. It's easy to fill up a case to take home! Lovely, relaxed cafe. The adjacent covered deck has a panoramic view of Keuka Lake and the countryside. Absolutely delicious foods - nice variety of choices. I had yummy soup and a pizza Margarita. My friend had a vegetarian salad with Falafel. The menu changes seasonally so everything is fresh. There's so much wine-and-farm related history connected to this winery/vineyard! So be sure to visit the Museum there.

Did a wine tasting, had a great time and the staff were amazing and made it fun! Bought some wine, checked out their gift shop, the restaurant smelled amazing but we did not stop in.

Visited for lunch on a Thursday on way to Bath to see The Isaacs in concert. Cool autumn day, so we sat inside. Lunch menu & specials were very appealing with a wide variety for each palette in our party. I chose the crab cake & seared scallops with salt potatoes which came with a mixed greens & cucumber dill salad. The food was excellent and came out quickly. Staff was very friendly & personable. The view of the vines overlooking beautiful Keuka Lk made the 2 hr trip from Syracuse well worth the stop!

Such a fun wine tasting! Our tasting guide was upbeat and entertaining throughout the experience. It's a must stop, especially if you like sweet wines. Also plenty of photo opportunities and great views.

Cafeteria style restaurant serving a mix of BBQ food. We shared a BBQ platter between two adults which was about enough portion size.Pulled pork was nice, chicken wings were good too. The brisket was tough and rubbery. There was no BBQ sauce which made for a really dry meal. We asked for a slice of bread which was a confusing conversation with the server and far more hassle than it should have been.A cup of milk for our 1 year old was $4 which in my opinion is extremely expensive.Overall if I'm in the same area again I'd look for other dining options given the food is just ok and the prices are high.

Mixed impressions: We waited 15 minutes in line to place our restaurant order, when the cashier told us we would have to start over again because we had no table number. We refused because no sign or person told us about a sequence to get food. A tense standoff ensued, and finally a kitchen worker went out to get a table number. My scallops were superb. The Maryland crab was bready and cold. The french fries were cold. The view from the table was spectacular. The tools in the Cooper's Museum were labeled with odd names, but not explained. The video about making wood barrels was excellent, but on a small screen. The art museum shows the oil painted complaints, social criticisms, and grievances of the billionaire founder. There is no art history, comparison to other artists, or education in the 'museum'. We have no reason to go back.
