Wagner Vineyards was founded in Lodi, New York by Bill Wagner, a lifelong resident of the area and grape grower for over fifty years. Bill began plans and broke ground for his estate winery even before the passage of the Farm Winery Act in 1976. Construction of the distinctive eight-sided building, Billโs own design, was completed and the winery opened its doors in June of 1979. The winery rapidly developed into a major attraction in the Finger Lakes region and hosts over 100,000 visitors each year. Wagner Vineyards is one of the Finger Lakes Regionโs few estate wineries, which means that we grow all of the grapes used to produce our wine. We cultivate 20 grape varieties on 250 acres, all adjacent to or within a few miles of the winery. The wineryโs prime location on the eastern shore of Seneca Lake contributes to the superior quality of the grapes.The unique combination of deep water (parts of Seneca Lake are over 600 feet deep) and sloping hillside provides a natural temperature moderator, protecting the vines against extreme temperature changes. The Wagner philosophy has always been that great wines begin in the vineyard. The wineryโs success can be attributed to the emphasis placed on consistent quality control. From soil to wine, each step of the viticultural and winemaking processes are subject to strict standards of excellence.
