Mayers Lake Ontario Winery & Cidery - Hilton, New York

I heard about a special that the winery was having for Valentine's Day. It included a five course meal paired with the perfect wines for each course from their vineyard.

I took my wife, the atmosphere was romantic, the food was delicious and the wait staff was excellent and the cost was excellent as well.

I will be returning and highly recommend this place.

I was here years ago for buckwheat pancake breakfast. It was wonderful. The place was so charming. Went back yesterday for garlic fest. We ordered two tastings. The wine was served in portion cups and was warm. Warm white wine. Not a lot of people there but server overwhelmed. Ordered a charcuterie, it consisted of grapes two types of cheese and crackers that were bordering stale. Charcuterie took a very long time to arrive, though it did come with an apology so that’s something. The place itself looks unkept. There was bench seating with old looking disheveled cushions and a laundry basket sitting on it. A basket full of old papers by the fireplace (maybe for the fire), dusty staircase and shelving. The wine menu on the board we were told was wrong so we had to pick from the shelf. Server was friendly but so busy she really didn’t have time to “sell” the wine.
This place was great when I was here last and has great potential, but they really need to fix some stuff, tidy up and work on presentation. If that happens let me know and I’ll be back.

My husband and I went to Mayers winery in Hilton yesterday and had a wonderful experience. I had some soup and it was delicious. This is a very friendly place and has a warm cozy feeling inside. The smell of the fire is amazing. So glad we found this gem of a place. I highly recommend this place for a nice get away.

It’s a winery, but they served very warm white wine. We ordered a cheese board. They said prices were not up to date, but couldn’t tell us how much more. The cheese board (that we paid 18$) was an uncut piece of cheddar, box opened crackers and grapes. Oh and by the way the one was also very poor

My husband, daughter, and I went in for wine and pizza. We met the Owner Dave who was absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere was perfect and the staff and patrons were friendly and fun. We had wine tastings and a nice dinner, Dave interacted with us throughout our time there and personally did our tasting. Everything was excellent and the Chef was very nice. We bought 5 bottles of wine and can not wait to go back!

There’s no wine menu. They claim it’s constantly changing, which isn’t the case. The wines have always been the same. They have 3 beers from a “local brewery” but when we asked what brewery it was, she stated she didn’t know. And didn’t even try to find out. I’m sure that local brewery wouldn’t be pleased to know their beers aren’t being advertised. Over half of the items on the menu aren’t available. But we weren’t told that when we were handed the menus. Wait time on the food was insane and they were not busy. We watched people wait over 20 minutes for a “flight” of wine. Again, no wine menu to pick their wines from! The location and atmosphere are the best. But they need better staff that has more knowledge.

We wanted to try something different and found a Groupon for Mayers. They took us by surprise on how great the food is. The fish sandwich was far better than expected and the spinach artichoke dip was amazing! I also got a flight but couldn't really decide on a wine. The wine is pretty good but with food, the red wines were fairly the same in taste. Overall the experience with food and drink is great.

The staff was also very helpful with the menu. We we directed to a few fan favorites. And also met the chef who made the meals. Very great atmosphere and friendly people.
