We strive to make beautiful wine from our high-quality terroir while giving an educational and enjoyable experience.
Our first plantings were in 2015 and as of 2024 we have 21 acres consisting of Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Lemberger, Chardonnay, Saperavi, and Rkateseli. Our grapes are also sold to wineries across the Finger Lakes.

About Airy Acres Vineyard
Airy Acres Vineyard has been a family farm since 1918. Once the site of the largest chicken farm in Seneca County and still the home of a working grass runway called Airy Acres Airport, our family repurposed the land as a vineyard in 2015. We now grow eight different varietals on 21 acres with room for development in the future. Our first vintages were Riesling and Cabernet Franc in 2020, and now we offer 13 different wines solely made from fruit from our 21-acre vineyard using Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Chardonnay, Rkatsiteli, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Lemberger, and Saperavi.
At Airy Acres Vineyard, we pride ourselves on our dedication to producing high-quality wines. Our vineyard is a family-owned business, and every bottle we produce is a testament to our commitment to quality and our love for winemaking. Come visit us to enjoy our wines, explore our vineyard, and experience everything Airy Acres Vineyard has to offer.

Introducing Rkatsiteli
We’re thrilled to announce the release of our 2023 Rkatsiteli, a vibrant and refreshing white wine that showcases the unique characteristics of this ancient Georgian varietal. This inaugural vintage, expertly crafted with stainless steel fermentation, boasts lively acidity balanced by a touch of residual sugar (under 1% RS). The result is a wine bursting with tropical fruit and citrus flavors.
The 2023 vintage was also the first vintage as certified sustainable by the New York Wine and Grape Foundation. Being stewards of the land and promoting healthy Winegrowing practices is important for us.
Rkatsiteli, originating from the rugged Caucasus Mountains between Europe and Asia, has proven to be an excellent match for the Finger Lakes climate. As one of only three growers in the region, and with our 2.5-acre block second only to Dr. Frank’s in size, we’re proud to bring this rare and exciting wine to your glass.
