PHILOSOPHY

Tune into nature, go with the natural ebb and flow of life.

 

Red wines best reflect the complexity of life as they are built in layers, much like experiences and relationships.

 

Shalestone Vineyards is not just a business, it is our creative outlet, an opportunity that allows us to create and control a life style of our own.

 

It is a joy to enhance the quality of life with our wine.

 

"Everything in Balance!"

OUR WINES

 

 

 

 

"Red is All We Do!"

 

Our niche dry red wines are hand crafted by the Thomas family on the Eastern shores of Seneca Lake.

 

Shalestone’s goal is to make red wines that are uniquely different from the other leading wine regions of the world but just as complex.

 

The recognized potential of our shallow clay-rich soil and the unique climate of the Finger Lakes makes Shalestone Vineyards a unique and experienced  winemaker in a burgeoning wine region.

 

VISIT

Spending time with our customers in our relaxed atmosphere is a must.  We cater to passionate wine drinkers, who are interesested in the process and philosophy.

 

Come in, relax and imerse yourselves in our beautiful and serene tasting room. 

 

We encourage our guests to taste and savor our wines, to create dialogue and stimulate the senses.

 

Due to the size of our tasting room and our tasting philosophy, groups of 4+ are highly discouraged. We appreciate your respecting this.

CLOSED FOR THE WINTER SEASON: 

​

We are excited to be reopen in March 2021 by reservation only!  We look forward to welcoming you back.

 

We will be open for tastings and wine by the glass with modified operations. With the current change in NYS guidelines, things will look a little different around our tasting room but our wines and team are ready to provide you with a safe and enjoyable experience.  Please take a moment to review the new requirements below.

-          Tastings will be available on the hour and if space allows, we will try to accommodate guests without a reservation, but space is VERY limited at this time.
