Not only is the wine delicious, but the location is sublime which is what makes Heron Hills Winery one of our favorite wedding day venues. Moreso, if you're going green with your event , this is the place to be!

To the owner of Heron Hill Winery, John Ingle, going green means giving respect. Respect for the land by farming sustainably and respect for the product by making it natural, fresh and healthful. Most importantly it means respect for the consumer by giving them his very best product and by educating them about Heron Hill’s long-term goals of environmental balance. John is truly committed to living and farming sustainably, and in recognition of this he was invited to be a featured speaker at the Green Symposium in NYC in April 2008. He spoke about the many ways to practice sustainability in the vineyard. It can be as simple as letting the grasses and plants grow around the vineyards instead of mowing them down. This allows the plants to go to flower, attracting beneficial insects which in turn protect the vines from harmful insects. By letting the grasses grow and avoiding herbicide use we can prevent erosion and avoid chemical runoff into the lakes, streams and the ground water table. People have become very conscious of what goes into their bodies and from where food originates.

Wine is a food product and needs to be handled in a caring, safe and healthful manner. It is important to Heron Hill that by farming sustainably, we gain consumer trust and allegiance as well as ensure the future viability of our farms. Heron Hill Winery is nestled into a hill overlooking scenic Keuka Lake in New York’s Finger Lakes region. For over 30 years the winery has set the highest standards for wine quality, customer satisfaction and tasting room experience.
