Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery reviews
13Your anniversary celebration was well organized. Tickets included wonderful options for tasting and grazing. The vendors offered great local shopping
The holiday vendor event was fantastic! Lots of great wine to try, fantastic food to enjoy, and a goodie bag with wine and mulling spices. I will definitely be back!
We arrived for a tasting (without appointment) and were shown to a tasting table within minutes. A very knowledgeable and personable Allan steered us through the wines we wanted to taste and also gave us a chance to try some special wines (after he saw what we had the most interest in).
Nothing was rushed. Everything was made to help us feel taken care of. The view and the wines were great. This is a place of historical significance in the growth of Vinifera grapes in the Finger lakes and should be a must in visitors tasting tours
Best wines in the Finger Lakes and best tasting experience anywhere. We really enjoy Dr. Frank's every time we go. The staff is super polite and super knowledgeable. The views of the lake are amazing. We'll be back again and again.
Prepare to get judged with a party of more than 6 here, out of and probably during tourist season! Hi Jason
We could see the staff visibly disappointed and distraught at our arrival with a party of 8. We knew prior that we could not do tastings (maximum group of 6). That was fine but it was a little discouraging with our further endeavors at Dr. Franks.
Getting our triple wine tasting towers at the garden area and having the server not know what wines were what, was annoying for everyone. There should be at least some type of description for each wine and not an answer of, "How do I know what it's supposed to be? "…. Amateur hour?
To top it all off our group had a short wonderful time out on the "seasonal" patio and had to endure a walk of shame through the main tasting area since it was "closed off". No signs mind you… on any of the open doors leading to the front patio. This was the last straw and compelled me to write this review.
Sorry Dr. Franks, although your family has been running this winery for many years. There comes a time when the public needs to shift gears to the future of the Kueka Lake area wineries and how they treat their patrons. Hello Weis
Dr. Frank's is the best Winery in the Finger Lake's region. I highly recommend a tasting paired with the cheese plate. Everyone we encounter when we go for tasting has been wonderful. Schedule a tasting if you are in the area!
The wine tasting with the meat and cheese plate was great. George made our experience very memorable.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Cheese plate was a great addition to our wine tasting. Beautiful views, nice atmosphere. Loved being able to pick choices for each "course" of the flight. Cannot wait to come back!
Not impressed with this vineyard. We made an effort to be there, be nice. Sorry you’re “busy”. We had reservations and were seated in a corner with plastic crates while the tasting room was pretty empty.we tried to be positive but they were clearly.busy.whatever see ya
The service was great, the attention to detail divine, the scenery, view, ambiance, all the visual senses were pleased.but the wine? It just had no character, nothing discerning. Its like it was TOO well made to the point that anything that might make it stick out was gone. Their wine reminds me of japanese whiskey where they perfectly blend 1000 different barrels to get just the right flavor profile which ends up being TOO balanced. Thats their wines, too balanced to the point of being forgettable. And to the contrary of the wines their meat and cheese plate had waaay too much flavor to be paired with such boring wines. I mean if they had a bright and bold cabernet or a buttery chardonay, maybe a reisling with a little bit of twang to it then these pairings would go great. Unfortunately there wines were not up to the task to be paired with such a flavorful and creative cheese plate. I wont go back here
What a Classy adventure! Just a slight nip in the air, but under the tent and the piping hot butternut squash soup, it was a so comfortable. The food was excellent. Staff from restaurant and Dr Franks were top shelf. Also had time for some wine tasting and a charcuterie board later. It was a perfect day and fun trip with my sister. I also got to start my Holiday shopping and picked up some wines and a fleece for myself. Win- Win. Thanks Dr Franks for a wonderful experience.
Today we did the 1886 Food and Wine Experience and it was by far the best thing we’ve done in the finger lakes. We come to the finger lakes two to three times a year and have been to many different areas and wineries and Dr. Franks knocks it out of the park every time but the Food and Wine Experience today was beyond. The thought and attention to detail was amazing. Our guide Allyn (who we’ve also had the pleasure of having lead us for our tastings in the tasting room before) was amazing. Knowledgeable, friendly, fun, attentive, I can’t say enough good things about not only him but the operation as a whole. It really was a great day. We will always come back to Dr Konstantin Frank anytime we come up.
