Adirondack Winery & Tasting Room, located in the heart of Lake George Village, is the region's first Micro Winery! We are proud to offer an impressive selection of wines, all hand-crafted locally by our own wine maker. Enjoy a wine tasting session that includes a souvenir glass to take home with you. You may even have a chance to see the wine-making process in action. All of Adirondack Winery's wine bottles feature photographs of natural landscapes and landmarks from Lake George and the surrounding Adirondacks region.

From our attractive store / tasting room, located right on Canada Street across from Shepard Park and near the corner of Amherst, we also sell Grafton Village Cheddar cheeses; Stonewall Kitchen fine foods; scrumptious hand-made chocolates; Mercer's Wine Ice Cream; and a unique selection of wine-related gifts and accessories.

What is a micro-winery? We are a small scale boutique winery offering a wide range of wines for every palate. Our wines are made on premises, starting from the finest quality grape must sourced from various farm vineyards. We employ the same wine-making techniques and ingredients, and utilize similar equipment, as a major commercial winery does, just on a smaller scale. Because we are a micro-winery, we're able to offer a much broader selection of wines (30+ varieties) than a typical vineyard winery; plus we have a micro-level of attention to wine quality and service.

Visit the winery to experience a taste of something completely different!

Great little spot in Lake George. As we all know how commercialized Lake George has become. Friendly staff, good prices and great wine! Been a couple times to their wine tasting events. I'm from Hudson, about 2 1/2 hours just to go there. And it's worth it!! Going to Lake George anyway? Make it a point to stop. They are right on the strip.
