Swedish Hill Winery
Swedish Hill Winery has earned numerous accolades including five "Winery of the Year" awards
This second-generation, family-owned winery has earned five "Winery of the Year" awards as well as numerous other accolades including three "Governor’s Cups" (the highest award given to a New York State wine), 65 gold medals for 22 different wines and "Winery of the Year" for the Eastern United States at two acclaimed California competitions.
In 1997, the Peterson family expanded their operations to open a second winery, Goose Watch, in a beautifully restored century-old barn right on Cayuga Lake. Then in 2005 they transformed the former Finger Lakes Champagne House and established its third winery, Penguin Bay, located on the Seneca Lake Wine Trail.
Wine tastings are offered daily at the winery from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. throughout the year and tours are offered daily Memorial Day through October. While there, don’t forget to visit the winery’s famous mascot, Doobie the Donkey, who has been an inspiration for some of Swedish Hill’s most demanded wines, Jack Ass Red and Doobie Blues.
