Point of the Bluff Vineyards

Point Of The Bluff Vineyards opened its tasting room in 2015, but winemaker Mike Countryman was winning awards for his wines long before then. Mike believes great wines are made in the vineyard, which is why he works as hard growing the grapes as he does turning them into something special. Mike specializes in crafting European-style wines, in particular ice wines which have been named “Best in the World.”   

Established in 2008, Point of the Bluff Vineyards offers award-winning wines in a beautiful setting overlooking Keuka Lake. Our boutique size allows our winemaker with more than 20 years of experience to be closely involved in every aspect of the process from planting to bottling. Visit our tasting room on the west side of Keuka Lake and sample artfully-crafted wines, overlooking stunning views!
