McGregor Vineyard is open 7 days a week, year round...we are currently open from 11 am to 5 pm every day!  Stop in and sample our diverse wine selection, and we also offer wine by the glass or bottle. Come for a visit, relax and enjoy the view.  Please call ahead for groups larger than 10 people. 

We have plenty going on here during the winter months. See our events page to get the details on our upcoming events and special tastings.

 

                                           John and Stacey McGregor will once again host a winter wine tasting series called “Sunday’s From the Library.” At these tastings, we will serve matured wines from our wine library paired with gourmet hors d'oeuvres. Each Sunday's focus is on a specific varietal, varietals or vintage and will include eight to ten wines. Stacey is preparing an assortment of delicious foods to specifically suit the wines being served. The menu for the day will not be announced ahead of the tasting but the pairings are certain to be outstanding. The wines and foods are presented together in a relaxed, educational manner. Some of the wines featured will be available in limited quantities for purchase and others will be sampled but not sold due to limited (or no) additional bottles remaining. The cost to attend is $45 per person and is open to the public.  The tastings will begin at 11:30AM and last about 2 hours.  Each tasting is limited to 30 people and reservations or cancellations must be made by 5PM on the Friday prior to the tasting. Please join us for one or more of these special tastings and share in the rare opportunity to sample vintage McGregor wines spanning decades.

                                            The schedule for the tastings is as follows:

January 15         Black Russian Red

January 22         Pinot Noir

January 29         Rob Roy Red (a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot)

February 19      Cabernets & Merlots

February 26      2002 Vintage Reds & Whites

 

It is never to early to make plans to attend our Black Russian Bash. This is clearly become our most popular “off season” event of the year! Obviously, as McGregor Clan Club members, you’ve already had the pleasure to enjoy the new vintage. However, I know that many of you immediately stash your new bottle of Black Russian Red deep in your wine cellar, so this event is the perfect opportunity to try the wine without having to open your bottle! This event also signifies the last chance to purchase the 2008 Black Russian Red at the special Clan Pack prices. (If you can’t attend the event in person, we can certainly take any last minute orders over the phone). Please let us know if you’re thinking of attending. Reservations are not required, but they are very much appreciated as it helps Stacey better plan on how much food to prepare. The event is taking place on Saturday, March 3rd and Sunday the 4th. It runs from 11-5PM each day. This year, Stacey is treating guests to a delicious food and wine pairing of Hoisin braised beef served over sweet potato mash, sauteed bok choy and chocolate ganache cake. The cost to attend the Black Russian Red Bash is $10 per person for Clan Club Members or $15 per person for guests/non-members. This fee covers your food and wine samples and a McGregor logo wine glass. Also for this weekend we will be conducting special vertical tastings of Black Russian Red from the library and from the barrel along side our current vintage for a small, additional fee.

For the past few years we’ve hosted a wonderful, multi-course, food and wine pairing dinner in tandem with our Black Russian Red Bash here at the winery. It takes place on Saturday evening at the Village Tavern Restaurant in Hammondsport. Call them directly to make your reservations at 607-569-2528.
