ABOUT THE WINERY
For 30 years Heron Hill Winery has grown cold-climate Riesling and Chardonnay grapes and made elegant world-class wines on a slate hill overlooking scenic Keuka Lake in the Finger Lakes region of western New York. Enjoy the views from our magnificent vaulted Tasting Hall, as you taste our portfolio of Rieslings, Chardonnays, Vinifera reds, and our popular Eclipse Series. Taste the Ingle Vineyard series as well as our Late Harvest and Icewines at our Premium Bar. Heron Hill has garnered numerous awards for its wines, including “Best of Show- White Wine” at the San Francisco International Wine Competition.
In 2006 we opened a second tasting room on beautiful Seneca Lake so that visitors to the region could have more options for visiting us and tasting our wines. However you chose to experience Heron Hill you can be sure it is an experience you will remember.
Heron Hill Winery is part of the Keuka Lake Wine Trail, to look at the 2009 Trail brochure click here.
ABOUT INGLE VINEYARD
We are in the midst of a green revolution. To the owner of Heron Hill Winery, John Ingle, going green means giving respect. Respect for the land by farming sustainably and respect for the product by making it natural, fresh and healthful. Most importantly it means respect for the consumer by giving them his very best product and by educating them about Heron Hill’s long-term goals of environmental balance.
John is truly committed to living and farming sustainably, and in recognition of this he was invited to be a featured speaker at the Green Symposium in NYC in April 2008. He spoke about the many ways to practice sustainability in the vineyard. It can be as simple as letting the grasses and plants grow around the vineyards instead of mowing them down. This allows the plants to go to flower, attracting beneficial insects which in turn protect the vines from harmful insects. By letting the grasses grow and avoiding herbicide use we can prevent erosion and avoid chemical runoff into the lakes, streams and the ground water table.
People have become very conscious of what goes into their bodies and from where food originates. Wine is a food product and needs to be handled in a caring, safe and healthful manner. It is important to Heron Hill that by farming sustainably, we gain consumer trust and allegiance as well as ensure the future viability of our farms.
