Sheldrake Point Winery is named for the prominent point of land on which it sits, located on the western shore of Cayuga Lake. Operated as an orchard and dairy farm from 1850 to the mid-1980s, the 155-acre lakeshore farm lay fallow until 1997 when a small group of wine enthusiasts organized the purchase of the land and founded the winery. 

Today, Sheldrake Point Winery continues the agricultural tradition with 60 acres of vineyard planted to ten vitis vinifera varieties, which are used to make approximately 8,500 cases of estate grown, produced, and bottled table and ice wines.

Sheldrake Point Winery was twice named New York State Winery of the Year, and has been listed among the Top 100 Wineries by Wine & Spirits magazine in three different years.

With experience developed in wineries throughout the Finger Lakes, Dave can always be found in our winery or lab, gently and patiently tending to the fermentation and ageing of our wines while caring for our tanks, barrels and equipment. Armed with two degrees in chemistry and two in philosophy, Dave not only brings us expertise in the wine lab and on the crush pad, but he can also be heard waxing poetic on everything from Plato's cave to contemporary third-party politics.

A dry and medium-bodied red with delicate fruit and soft tannins.

Lively light bodied dry red that's a great food wine.

White

A crisp, dry white wine with varietal hints of pear and honey and a luscious mouth feel.

Sweet

Select hand-harvested fruit went into this limited production wine that showcases the best in a classic Finger Lakes Riesling.

Rosé

Our most popular wine, this is a fruit-forward dry Rose made from 100% estate-grown Cabernet Franc.  The best selling Dry Rose in the Finger Lakes!

Crisp and bright with citrus and floral aromatics.  A signature varietal in a dry style that's classic to both the winery and to the region. 

A refreshing nose of lemon zest and white flowers opens to bracing acidity on the palate. Wet stone and granny smith apple transition to a pink grapefruit finish.

A naturally fermented dry white wine with classic Riesling acidity and delicious citrus character.

A dry white wine with expressive aromatics that's delicious on its own and wonderful with foods that have some spice.

A classic, lightly oaked Chardonnay made from estate grown grapes.

An off-dry to medium-sweet white wine with crisp acidity and lovely citrus aromatics.  Versatile food wine with zesty or spicy cuisines.

Grapes were harvested between 12 and 18 degrees, frozen on the vine.  At that temperature, the water freezes as ice but we capture the unfrozen sweet essence, drop by precious drop, to create this rare and exquisite dessert wine.

A medium-bodied dry red wine grown from our small Block 3 of Pinot Noir.  Hand harvested and carefully aged in older oak, this is a delightful wine that surprises many!

A small block of our vineyard produces a surprising quality of Merlot for a dry red wine with elegant fruit and soft tannins from older oak aging.
