We came here because of the Strawberry Festival and it was a great time. Parking was not too bad. We did park on the street but not a far walk to the winery. They have a very nice venue to hold an event but it is also nice just to do wine tasting. They have a small garden and pavillion so if you want to just grab a bottle of wine to sit and drink. This is a great place to do this, but maybe not in the winter.They have a variety of awesome wines. Whatever you like dry, sweet, red, white or even Blue you will find your favorite.Next year for the strawberry festival, we need to remember chairs so we can stay and listen to the music.

Went for Merritt's taco weekend and it was great, the omelet weekend was even better. The atmosphere there is always relaxed and they always treat you almost like family. Copper is also a great addition
Their events/food are always good. People there are always nice and friendly. A must stop if you're in the area

Absolutely loved the sangria de marquerite. It was sweet, light and a wonderful addition to our dinner. We drank it as is, without any of the recommended recipes and it was fine.
Clayton Brigham
Great tasting room and outside seating. Love their wines, especially the Port for the holidays.

My mother, sister and I enjoyed a great afternoon at Merritt Estate Winery on King Road in Forestville, NY. We sat and enjoyed wine slushies as well as various other of varieties of wine-dry to sweet, red to white, even a blue wine. Our hostess for the day was extremely knowledgeable, she even showed us a few recipes to upgrade our wine tasting experience. There's fresh popcorn to cleanse your palate in between tastings. There are also an expanded area to purchase wine related souvenirs/items/necessities.The Drinkerbells will definitely be back for more fun in the afternoon. #Cheers ????????

Saw the wine truck at Rochester's Jazz Fest, not sure who was running it, but they were incredibly rude. We politely asked what was in the Pina Colada. Now that may have been a stupid question, but the response we got sure made us feel that way. The attendant responded extremely sharply and condescendingly, "it's a wine truck, it's wine." I understand that you may get that question too often, but there was no reason to be so incredibly rude about it. You could have told us it's a family owned winery and it uses such and such wine. It could have been a selling point, but instead they talked down to us which made us just walk away. Not sure if they were having a bad day or something, but it's no way to run a business.
