"The last time we visited the Americana Winery in 2017, we were thrilled with the Ambiance and free fudge samples. However, this Winery has changed significantly since then. I don 't really enjoy giving a negative review, however, this winery is starting to feel tired and dated. Our group was the only group that came in for tastings in nearly an hour. The grounds are starting to look tired, and the winery feels discombobulated with many dated products, and decor. One corner had Halloween decorations, while another area still had a small Christmas tree erected. Slushies were available, as well as wine tastings. Wine was served in a clear plastic cup. They offered samples of dips that they had on the shelf. There was a for sale sign on the property, I don 't imagine that we will visit this Winery again, unless it is under new management Note: My gal pals are back back in the Finger Lakes for our 10th annual tour and I am reviewing the wineries that we visited. These reviews are based on our experience this year (2024) as policies, owners and crop can fluctuate, year to year."

Friendly staff and the owner is so welcoming! Had a wine tasting, but were questioning another wine, so he gave me an additional taste! Every wine was very good but the blueberry port was sweet outstanding !

One of our favorite wineries during our weekend visit! They are so friendly and such experts with wine tasting. They pair every sample of wine with food. Such a wonderful experience! Can’t recommend it enough!

Great atmosphere here! A plethora of wines to choose from for your tastings and, of course, to purchase bottles of before you leave! The wines we tasted were great! Everyone that worked there was extremely friendly and made the visit that much more enjoyable! We left with several bottles of wine and some delicious fudge. View menu

We used to love coming here. I was very disappointed recently when we stopped by after a couple of years’ gap and saw that they now serve wine in plastic cups: not good for the environment and also makes the whole experience feel cheap and unpleasant. We left without tasting. Please reconsider your use of plastic thank you.

We are local trumansburg people and this is our favorite restaurant by far! The food is always top notch and wine that's second to none. Our waiter tonight was jack and the service was awesome which was impressive considering the place was packed. He was extremely busy but took excellent care of us! Don't hesitate to check this place out! View menu

Used to be a favorite, but my last visit there was disappointing. We asked for a taste of one wine before choosing a glass, and were treated rudely. (This should not be an unusual request). Ordered 3 glasses of wine, and were served in plastic cups (we were sitting inside). I'm not opposed to plastic, but do expect a wine glass when ordering at a winery.

The overall 4.2 rating is not justified. Most of the 1's are over 2 years old. This winery is a fun place with much to offer beyond wines. That said, there are 23 wines to choose from so something for everyone! Loved that the tastings (any 4 wines you want) came with various crackers, cheeses and fudges to cleanse the pallet and transition into or out of each wine. Joe, our server, was very friendly and shared his knowledge of the wines. Had an excellent experience here all around.
