The Architecture
In 2000, a new retail facility was built by New York City architect Charles Warren, an associate of the renowned architect, Robert Stern. Warren’s design turned Heron Hill into one of the most innovative and attractive wineries on the East Coast. The architecture reflects the history of the area and is really a style of its own – a Finger Lakes style that combines many elements that make the area unique.
For instance, the observation tower in the center of the building is reminiscent of the farm silos that dot the area’s country hills. The winery also has a Greek Revival quality -- a common style to homes and farms in this historic community. Finally, the stone cobbles than adorn both the inside and outside of the building are from the local Hammondsport quarry and enhance the light and natural feel of the winery.
The philosophy that drove the renovation was “high-end customer service.” Heron Hill translated that into listening and serving all of its customers’ needs – from tasting great wine, to an enjoyable entertainment experience, to feeling relaxed and rejuvenated after having visited the winery.
Heron Hill Winery was named as one of the ten most spectacular tasting rooms in the world by Travel + Leisure Magazine! Only two were listed in the US: Heron Hill and Opus One in CA.
