Deer’s Leap Winery

Live music every time we’ve been there, fireplace, TV, good waitresses, good food. Parking lot is not lit and they have an overly bright sign just before their driveway making it really hard to even see where the driveway is.

My wife and I had a date day/​night getaway in the Geneva area and stayed at a nearby B&B. We really dug in and did a lot of research to find out which wineries to try out and which ones to eat our meals at. I was able to read between the lines on some of these reviews and I am so glad we went here!
It was a Saturday night on the weekend of the grape festival in Geneva, so I expected it would be busier. We didn’t have to wait for a table and were seated promptly by a hostess. We chose to do a tasting of many of the wines. They were much to my liking as I prefer sweet wines and fruit wines and especially sweet fruit wines! My wife prefers a more dry wine like cabernet and we were both able to find something we liked. She ordered a glass of the cabernet, she liked it so well!
The menu had plenty of options and we both ordered something we knew we would enjoy. I had the veggie burger and my wife had the shrimp and crab cake dinner. Both were as good as we had hoped!
The service matched the wine and the food and I’d say it was just the experience we were looking for on our date weekend. I think it was the perfect place for our dinner that night, but since it’s right off the expressway, I can see stopping in there with the kids for lunch or dinner next time we’re driving by.
Since we wanted to hit several other wineries that night, we did not have a chance to stay and enjoy the live music, but there was a band playing as we were leaving. Very cool!

What a lovely little winery. We stopped off on our road trip home from Niagra Falls. Hubby and I actually had a hard time deciding on a bottle to take home because they were all so good! We love sweet Niagra/​Catawba type wines and this is clearly their specialty. The food put it over the top! Have the Harper’s Burger; great quality meat and freshly griddled mushrooms, onions and bacon. Crystal was an exceptional, friendly waitress! We can’t wait to come back and visit!

You couldn’t pay me to go back… can’t even review the food or wine, because…
We stopped for lunch Sunday 5÷24÷15. Ordered drinks and 20 minutes later still no drinks, or even water. Asked a young girl who appeared to me a busser about where our server might be, because we didn’t get drinks or the appetizer we ordered. 15 minutes later another server came to «apologize» — he ran on about it just being the 2 of them and it was so busy (only 5 tables, about 25 people total, only 3 tables were ordering food), but was really making excuses. It appears this man was the owner. Our server never came back to the table. 3 other tables walked out as well.
20 minutes later we heard a guy slamming things and yelling «F$#%ING G#& D#$* and went inside. Turns out our server dropped a plastic cup with salad dressing… THAT’S what caused him to rage. We left immediately… we had our kids with us.
Awful place.
**Go to Ferrantes just down the road… we had a wonderful meal and great service there!

Wines were okay… If you have a sweet taste in wine you’ll probably like some of their fruit wines, but their reds were all very disappointing. Some of them tasted like cough syrup.
If it were just the wine, I wouldn’t give a bad rating, but the service was TERRIBLE! We couldn’t get anyone to take our order for 30 minutes. All we ordered was several wine samples and they managed to make mistakes on almost all of our orders. Add that to another 20 minutes to get the check made this a very poor experience overall.
If you like sweet wine and come across a bottle in the store I would recommend you try it, but save your time and skip visiting the winery.

This place reminds me of what I consider «old school» Ohio wines. Very sweet, slightly headache inducing. This is not my personal taste, but obviously a lot of people feel differently and like the wine. Of all the wineries in the area, this is the most bar-​like. There are multiple options in the area, and this was my least favorite.

Always enjoyable every time I go here! The food is delicious, I recommend trying the steak. The atmosphere is pleasant and comfortable, and there is usually a great live band playing on the weekends. Wines are flavorful and the descriptions match the taste. My absolute favorite is the chocolate strawberry wine. Great place to go grab some food and hang out!

Wines are sweet, even for those that the winery calls dry. We stopped in for lunch. Food and service was excellent. Excellent for kids. Kids meals include fries and a drink for $ 5. Nice patio outside our plenty of indoor seating.

We ordered a appetizer that was promoted as new to the menus. It was a halve load of ciabatta bread with various melted cheese and garlic flavors. Our salad was served and we asked about the appetizer, we were assured it would be out shortly. Our dinner was served, still no appetizer, I then cancelled the appetizer. We were just finishing dinner when the waitress brought the appetizer. She said she would take it off the check but we should have it anyway. I took two bites and stopped, it was awful. My wife started to eat a piece and actually threw up into her plate. The waitress was nice and the chicken aigo was good. Later that evening I wondered if the kitchen got even for the cancellation. I cannot imagine something so awful being served regularly

More like a bar then a winery. We just did wine sampling. Service was not very good. Wine was ok.

For us the service was really good. The waitress was quick and the food was out in a very timely fashion. We had the wing special and although they weren’t the best i have ever had, they were worth the $.35 each that we paid. We will be going back to try some of the other flavors.

Have returned two additional visits, sad to say the service has left the building… Get it together guys or you will feel the demise of so many before you!

went to the fish fry on Friday, service was pretty good, the ice tea was great. Fish came out hot, not too greasy, everything very tasty. Stay away from the wine. There are wineries in the immediate area that have much better wine on hand. Stick with the restaurant part and give them a chance.
