Point of the Bluff Vineyards

Point of the Bluff was a perfect spot to stay for the late afternoo: delicious dry wines with live music and games in the back. As a picky dry wine drinker, I don't always find what I like at a new winery. However, we enjoyed every wine we tried in the tasting and bought a bottle of Cab Franc to go. There are turf greens for bocce ball, live music, and other games to enjoy, plus the very friendly staff who helped us enjoy our stay. Definitely a place to add to your itinerary!

I'd heard good things and the buzz is justified. The wine is fantastic, at least what I sampled. Particularly enjoyed the Cabernet Franc, Blaufrankisch Reserve, and Blau Nouveau, all are excellent. Learned a lot from the friendly and knowledgeable staff, they're excellent and made the visit all the better. The tasting room is charming and inviting and offers beautiful views of Keuka Lake. Check this place out, you'll be happy you did!

The tasting here is different. They bring two bottles of wine at a time for you to select one to taste. There are 10 wines you taste 5. So the tasting is their selection. They have more wines on their list other than the ones presented. The wines I tasted were very nice. The June Bug White and Red were nice.

First time we stopped here and we will be back :) Smaller winery but they have a large outside venue with summer events. Wine was good and the winery is an old school house that was completely redone with spiral staircase and a rock mural of Keuka Lake!

What a fantastic concert venue! We had a great time and will be back. Drinks ran about $10-$12 each. There was a food truck for a quick meal. The A/C trailer porta potty is a welcomed option for women. The concert seats are really tightly spaced, be aware if your one who likes a few inches of breathing room or are not comfortable in a smaller chair. Even with the overhead fans, it could get very warm on a hot day. You can always sit out in the lawn if the seating isn't for you.

Shout out to Marie who helped my sister in-law to get to the Franti show with the golf cart. You deserve a raise and thank you very much for your patience, understanding and kindness!!!

We showed up for the music, but the tasting were in the ‘shop’…. While had an ok view towards the lake, the place just didn’t hit right. We did bring home a Pinot noire reserve

Stopped at Point of the Bluff Vineyards to support one of my good friends at the Holiday Market. This was my first time visiting this vineyard. It was such a beautiful day on Saturday December 12, 2020.This location had a great view of Keuka Lake. I loved the fireplace. The decor overall was just beautiful.The staff were pleasant and friendly. They were Socially-distance with table setting. We ordered a few light snacks off the menu. We had Bratwurst with peppers and onions, a soft pretzel with mustard and lastly Swan market’s pepperoni stick with cheese curds. Each of these were so tasty. I loved the pretzel it was definitely made fresh. Not like the store-made. You can tell the difference for sure.My boyfriend had the Bratwurst. It was cooked to perfection. The Swan Market pepperoni stick presentation was simply plated neatly.I would definitely recommend coming here again in the future.

This winery only has dry and semi/sweet wines. The girl doing the tasting was really busy and the only one working the inside, so she left our tasting in the middle to go be cashier. View was pretty. When we left to dive North 3 employees where out by the corner of one of the buildings out by the road looked like hiding on break, they should have been inside helping the one and only inside while it was busy. Would not go back if ever in area.

This was our first visit and I stopped specifically because they have canned wine. I love canned because we camp and it is lighter and easier to transport. This was a fantastic experience! The women who helped at our tasting made the experience so much fun. They were fabulous, one was a teacher and one was a nurse which happened to match the professions of two in our party. Those two were fun and knowledgeable about the wines and the history of the vineyard! Thank you!The wines were all dry, which was perfect for us. We loved their Pinot Noir and the Rosé of Blaufränkisch in bottles. Their canned wine met my hopes!! I bought Curtiss White (thanks for supporting the museum), the white, the sparkling white, and the red. We will return for more and hope for warmer weather too.The grounds are beautiful and they have a wonderful front porch to enjoy.

Very disorganized. Only 2 people serving for tastings when the place was packed with the Christmas Market. Our friend who is a member is highly considering getting rid of her membership. This was my husband and my first time and we wouldn't go back. We have been to many wineries and this was one of the worst.

We have always had wonderful experiences here at POB! The wines and people are so kind and welcoming! And the concerts are AWESOME! We saw America there and it was outstanding! Our favorite wines are the Rieslings and the Curtiss White in a can!

A pretty nice small venue. They have cheap food options and the beer is well under $20, a rarity at events these days. There are very nice views as well.

POB is, hands down, one of the most incredible venues to have graced the Finger Lakes.(1) ATTEND A SHOW! While not free, the parking cost is small (and less than most concert venues in WNY). I was happy to pay the small cost in light of the fact it was easy and situated a quick walk from the concert. My husband and 2 year old daughter went to the Lyle Lovett show general admission (i.e. we sat on the lawn). We walked around the pavilion including the covered area, and the show was great from every spot. For a sold out concert, there was a TON of space to lounge around and run around. Great food options - I had Silo Truck's fried chicken, green curry, and coconut rice platter. You cannot beat the beautiful views from this concert.(2) EAT DINNER! My family and I love the Park Inn, the food is *chef's kiss* and the staff is A++. I almost always get the steak. Yes, I can make it at home, but it's never as good as the restaurant's. Recently, we were fortunate enough to attend the "Savor the Season" summer dinner at the POB pavilion. Every detail from the welcome cocktail, the hors d'oeuvres, dinner and wine pairings, even the place settings, were clearly selected with great thought and care. The staff always treat you with such care and attention, we are so lucky to have them!(3) ATTEND THE FARMER'S MARKET! We try to attend the weekly Farmer's Market. You get to enjoy a tasty beverage while enjoying an amazing music act. The food from the Park Inn's food truck is amazing - I usually get the burger (which I love), but decided to try their BLT. No regrets -- the tomatoes were insanely sweet and OUT OF THIS WORLD. They have various vendors, including--most importantly to my daughter--Seneca Farms ice cream. I would be remiss to not mention the beautiful bocce courts, where you can play bocce while enjoying a glass of wine and the live music.In sum, we are lucky to have POB here in the Finger Lakes. Everyone should include POB on their itinerary.

A lovely dinner at Point of the Bluff Vineyards.The last Thursday night farmer's market for the year. Beautiful live music.A great place to watch the sunset or the moonrise tonight.

Great views and a neat little tasting house for the wines! Also they had a beer on tap if you didn't want to try the wine.

Excellent venue. Dig the early show times for us older folks! Very chill, beautiful, intimate concert setting. Plenty of restrooms, many drink stations. Their wine is delicious! Everyone on staff is very accommodating from parking to drinks, merchandise. It’s a well organized event & it shows! Will return!

We attended the Lyle Lovett concert yesterday at the point of bluff vineyard, our first time at this venue. We were met with a $10 parking fee, confusion at the gate, and chaois inside. We had purchased the pricier tickets, center row "P", and were surprised to be on very uncomfortable narrow folding seats packed in tight, seats in line front to back, everyone with someone sitting directly in front of you. The stage was relatively low so probably not far from the stage shorter folks had problems seeing the performers. In our row it was hopeless for most. What was really bad/sad was the sound. Both my wife and me thought Lyle was ill, most of his words sounded mumbled, but his energy level was high as always, so we just thought he's doing too many concerts, or we are all getting older. Then after our bodies gave out on the chairs so we went to the back to join the standing room crowd. Night and day, there was the Lyle Lovett we love, we could hear and understand every word. We had spent the extra money for inside seating only to listen to 2 hours of a mumbled mess, but at least we got several songs of the Lyle we came to hear. No more point of the bluff for us.

After a great first experience, i was looking forward to my 2nd music experience at this venue, but it was ruined by venue staff. Aside from it being cut short an hour early, the security was extremely unprofessional. People were getting harassed and moved because of other people that were vaping. Kind of strange behavior. Now that i think of it, maybe the show was ended early because of what the security was doing? Never spending money there again. If that was their standard, I think they're in for a rocky summer season.

We were in the Keuka Lake area and stopped in to Point of the Bluff while out cruising and enjoying the views. We were treated with a great welcome, fantastic, friendly service and excellent wines. We loved it so much we joined the wine club and went back a couple days later to enjoy another tasting and the view! Looking forward to our next visit.

AWESOME VENUE!!! the staff was unbelievably friendly and went out of their way to make sure that EVERYONE entering knew their way around to their seats, the concession stands - AMAZING BOOZE - merch, etc. IDK if it's bc we were with the band, I don't think so, bc I overheard staff at various areas throughout the venue going above and beyond - I think the staff genuinely LOVE their jobs and it shows! It was REALLY refreshing and such a positive vibe to be around! We've always just gone to the winery for drinks with friends & to the open farmer's market in the summer which is an excellent, but pricey, experience. If you find yourself anywhere around Keuka, it's definitely a place to put on your must do list. And while you're up there, run down the street & visit Steuben Brewing for the best craft beer, cider, wine, food & live music. The view is phenomenal! Cheers!

This should be in your top 5 for Keuka Lake wineries. Everything is great.

Their wine is good, mostly to the dry side. We got there and did not have reservations. While they were able to seat us, and there were four of us, it seemed as though they were doing us a big favor. Mind you there was only one other couple there at the time, so not sure why a little bit of an attitude. I realize that I'm over is a busy time and maybe that's just the way most of the wineries here in the finger lakes work but it just rubbed me the wrong way. On a very positive note though they have a very good ice wine and their rooftop red and sling is a good medium dry wine give it a try!

Beautiful spot. Views, grounds, employees all great. We saw a concert there this Saturday, there was a nice mix of seating and standing under the tent. I thought it was cool that they didn't price gouge on beer at the show ($6 and some nice selections). Lot of glass which they obviously work hard at keeping sparkling clean, nice and bright place. Feels like a little park with a sweet view of the lake as you look east.

This is my second year (2019)spending a few weeks in the finger lakes visiting wineries. I have never been so uncomfortable at a winery. I left very quickly. I gave it 2 stars because I like that the wines were in beer cans and that is pretty unique. I have been researching this winery to see if they have an issue with my kind and actually wanted to call and ask if people who are like me are not welcome there. I have to say my experiences at all other vineyards were very pleasant and I have been to almost all of them in the finger lakes and off the lakes.

Chris Isaak literally brought me to tears tonight at the Bluff. I have been a huge fan throughout his long standing career but never had the chance to see him (and his band) in concert. I took my husband who honestly, was not familiar with his music. But he thoroughly enjoyed every minute, every song. Thank you Chris, the band and the backstage crew for treating such a small group of fans to such a large show!! Also "thank you" to the people responsible for getting this amazing band to come to our "Coolest Small Town", Hammondsport, NY.

Awesome place go hang out during the summer time, well anytime really. Live music on the weekends, good wine, and plenty of space. Kid friendly when the weather is nice and they are serving outside.

Just stopped in after driving past. The truffle wine pairing was fantastic. I'm not usually a fan of dry wines but the Chardonnay was excellent. The staff was extremely attentive and the location had a very nice decor. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

First of all the Mavericks for fantastic. It was actually fun standing out in the rain. But what I wanted to say is with kidney cancer I'm supposed to drink a certain the water and a lot of it. Doctor's orders. When I tried to take it in they told me no and took it away from me. They said they had water inside to buy. Well I never found any, and I can have at least one soda a day. Guess what? No soda. I guess you only cater to people that drink alcohol

Point of the bluff is a beautiful location for watching concerts. Unfortunately, the sound system is not matched properly to the size of the venue As a result people close to the stage are subjected to loud, harsh, distorted sound while people further away can barely hear.
