Press Release 2022-01-18

Airy Acres Vineyard is pleased to announce our first ever wines, a Riesling and Cabernet Franc both from 2020. Both are available to purchase while we start our foray deeper into the wine industry.

Overlooking Cayuga Lake, Airy Acres is a family-owned vineyard on a third-generation family farm, located north of the village of Interlaken, between Geneva and Ithaca, New York. The vineyard is named after a functional vintage grass airstrip on the property. Since planting our first vines in 2015, Airy Acres has been a well-known and celebrated vineyard producing high-quality fruit that is sold to many local wineries in the Finger Lakes Region. We strive to provide high-quality fruit, always harvested at optimum ripeness, and look forward to showing the public how we have translated our passion for viticulture to the creation of beautiful, dry wines.

In the coming years, a tasting room will be built next to the vineyards and hope to be open to guests in early 2023, with a production building following afterward. Our first release, featuring a 2020 Riesling and 2020 Cabernet Franc, is currently available to purchase for pickup, local delivery, or shipping. Wines from the abundant 2021 harvest will be available in the early spring, including a dry and semi-dry Riesling, a Gewurztraminer, a ‘bubbly’ Gewurztraminer, a Gewurztraminer/Riesling blend, and a Cabernet Franc Rose.
