Raise Your Glass - We're the Best in the Region!
We’re absolutely thrilled to share that Adirondack Winery & Lake George Store has been voted the #1 Best Winery and #1 Best Lake George Store in the Post‑Star’s Annual “Best of the Region” reader poll. Even more exciting is that your votes propelled us into the Top 3 across five additional categories: Best Cidery (for both Adirondack Winery and our sister brand, Extreme Heights Cidery), Best Live Music Venue, Best Wedding Reception Venue, Best Small Company to Work For, and Best Cultural Event or Festival for our annual Adirondack Wine & Food Festival. These honors are a testament to the passion our team pours into every bottle, every event, and every guest experience.
At our Queensbury and Lake George tasting rooms, you’ll discover why voters can’t get enough of our handcrafted wines and regionally inspired ciders. Picture yourself seated on our vine‑lined patios, sampling a glass of our limited edition wine Escape, or savoring the crisp, refreshing ciders from our Extreme Heights Cidery. Whether you’re new to wine or a seasoned oenophile, our tasting experiences are curated to delight and surprise, every single time.
When it comes to celebrations, you asked for top‑tier—and we delivered. Our rustic Barrel Room and expansive Private Event Space have earned a Top 3 nod for wedding receptions, and it’s easy to see why. From rehearsal dinners overlooking the vines to full‑scale wedding soirees bathed in bistro light, our venues provide an unforgettable backdrop for life’s most important moments. Our dedicated events team will work with you every step of the way, ensuring your day is as seamless as it is spectacular.
Music lovers, take note: Adirondack Winery is also recognized as a Top 3 Live Music Venue. Whether you’re tapping along at our Sunday Jazz Brunch, cheering on dueling pianos showdowns, or swaying to acoustic favorites, there’s always something happening to soundtrack your afternoon. Be sure to grab your tickets early—our shows are known to sell out fast!
As proud recipients of a Top 3 ranking for Best Small Company to Work For, we’re equally proud of the collaborative, high‑energy environment our team has built. From competitive wine discounts to staff‑only events, we strive to cultivate a workplace that’s as inviting as our tasting rooms. If you’re passionate about hospitality and eager to join an award‑winning crew, we’d love to hear from you.
Finally, mark your calendars for June 28–29, when the Adirondack Wine & Food Festival returns to Lake George and celebrates its Top 3 Best Cultural Event status. Imagine two days of wine and cider samplings, chef demonstrations under our Culinary Tent, live entertainment, and the warm camaraderie that only a festival of this scale can deliver.
None of these accolades would be possible without your support. Now it’s time to raise a glass together. Thank you for voting us the region’s favorite—here’s to many more years of award‑winning experiences. Cheers!
