Bright Leaf Vineyard

The winery operation is designed to provide a platform for the simple processing and development of our quality fruit. Most of our fermentation takes place in large stainless steel tanks and all of our aging takes place in French oak. We believe in limited handling of our white wines to ensure fresh fruit flavors; and liberal blending of our red wines to enhance flavor complexity. Bright Leaf Vineyard seeks to create a small, welcoming environment dedicated to producing unique flavorful wines. For Michael and Donna Wilson the journey has been worthwhile. Bright Leaf Vineyard is situated high on a beautiful hillside on the East side of Cayuga Lake. With incredible views of the lake and breathtaking sunsets, Bright Leaf Vineyard is an ideal event location for all seasons. We welcome our guests to become part of the Bright Leaf family and enjoy our award-winning wines and vistas. Whether you’re planning a wedding or a small family gathering, we are happy to help plan your event and create wonderful memories for years to come.
