long cliff vineyard & winery

We enjoyed the wines at this smaller winery. They had a good variety to suit all our tastes. The staff was very friendly and knew a lot about the wines.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this winery. This is a 3 generation family winery. They took great care of us, showing us the grapes, the technique, and finishing with a fun wine tasting. We learned so much! Their wines were also some of our favorites on our whole tour. :) The tour was free... you just pay for the wine tasting. Well worth the price!

Mid- September. Not a big tourist time. Arrived at our first winery on our NY wine tour. Long Cliff set the bar high. We parked on the gravel parking area the went in search for someone to show us around the vineyard and winery. We were beginning to think that we had arrived too early, but we spotted someone gathering grapes. That turned out to be a worker gathering pinot grapes and she directed us to the man in charge, Kevin. Kevin graciously took us on a private tour of the winery. We even sampled grapes off the vine. Pinot. Lemberger. Concorde. Thank you, Kevin.He then introduced us to his daughter, Danielle. Danielle set us up a tasting and a sneak peek of some tasty lemon flavored chocolate. Yum.Loved the personal 1:1 treatment. Kevin's love for the winery was clear. He explained that pinot is the heartbreak grape. If not picked today, tomorrow might be too late. He was facing a long day/night, yet took the time to give some Georgia folks a perfect start to a wine tasting road trip! Small. Family owned. Personal.

We stopped at this winery upon a suggestion. We were very impressed. The owner/winemaker Don, did our tasting and was very informative. I didn't know much about wines on the Niagara Trail but Don did an excellent job of spending the time to educate us. His wines are very good. I especially liked his Sauvignon Blanc, Lemberger, and Pinot Noir. I highly recommend them.

We are frequent visitors to the Niagara Wine Trail and Longcliff is one of our very favorite stops on the trail. The family that owns the winery are always friendly and willing to talk to you about the different qualities of each wine and it's story. Blaur Himmel is our favorite wine on the trail. Definitely worth a visit.

Hello again- we have received your review and want to reach out to insure you know it hasn't gone unread. I remember your visit, we had spoken about your day trip to Niagara on the Lake the day before and we discussed the similarities between their climate and ours. I recall your group really enjoying our Pinot Magic (the white pinot noir) and I sincerely apologize on behalf of myself and our owner (my grandfather) that you believe your experience did not reflect the passion we pour into our business. I do hope you enjoyed the rest of your visit on the Niagara Wine Trail.

Long Cliff has some very good wines and prices are very reasonable. Everyone is very nice and helpful. I have been there several times and enjoyed it every time.

This winery has employees walking around and giving tours wearing NRA hats. They can do this if they choose, but if you don't agrees with the views, policies and politics of the NRA, you may wish to take your business elsewhere.

I'm glad that you enjoyed our "Pairing for Penguins" wine & cheese pairing this past January- we were able to raise money for The Aquarium of Niagara that weekend (a cause near and dear to my heart) with the help of great customers like you!

Thank you so much for your positive review during your 2012 trip! I'm glad you caught us on a day that we could open up the tasting room for you (and I'm especially glad you liked the 2010 Riesling, it's one of my favorites as well!)We've released a lot of new wines since your last trip, and have more on the way- I sincerely hope that should you make a return trip to the Niagara Wine Trail you would consider visiting us again and seeing how much we have grown! In the meantime, please "like" us on Facebook if you haven't already!!Again, thank you so much for your review, and for supporting our family owned business!

We appreciate your positive feedback, and should you be in the area again, we hope you would pay us another visit! We were just starting up during your last visit (and still have a lot of growing to do) but we have come so far in our first two years of business! Our wine list has continued to grow, and we now have four red wines out, with a rose coming in the next year! I'm sorry that we were out at the time of your visit (but at the same time, it's a pretty good feeling knowing one of our wines was popular enough to actually SELL OUT in it's first year!!)Again, our sincere thanks for your review! I am so glad we were a memorable part of your last trip to Niagara!!-Danielle DeMaisonTasting Room Manager

Our wine list has nearly tripled in the past year, with even more new releases on the way!!If you haven't already, please consider "liking" us on facebook to keep up with all things Long Cliff!-Danielle DeMaisonTasting Room Manager

New and small vineyard. Great wine at a good price. Generous tasteing portions of some very good wines. The Niagara grapes make some very nice wine. Stop by, buy, and enjoy.
