Glenora Wine Cellars’ Inn, Finger Lakes

Yesterday after a busy day visiting four wineries in the Finger Lakes region of New York, we had reservations for dinner at Glenora Wine Cellars’ Veraisons Restaurant. The experience was delightful with indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the beautiful and enticing Seneca Lake.

Veraisons Restaurant is situated in the same complex where Glenora’s inn is located. The executive chef is Orlando Rodriguez.

The summer dinner menu included salads and soups for starters, boards of cheese samplers and a charcuterie board, small plates for those with smaller appetites and dinner entrees. The menu is labeled with foods marked as vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free.

As we had been tasting wines all day, we decided not to order a glass of wine although it would have been very nice to have enjoyed a Glenora wine with our dinner.

Terry ordered the soup special of the day, a fish stew and a large Veraisons Green Salad. The description of the salad included greens, feta, Riesling soaked watermelon, candied pistachios, and Riesling vinaigrette.

I ordered a traditional crispy fried chicken entree accompanied by a large biscuit, gin pickled cucumbers and corn butter.

Prior to our dinners arriving, a bread basket was brought to the table. The

bread was tasty and looked and tasted home baked. A choice of three sauces came with the bread. Then a small appetizer consisting of a bite of bagel with charcuterie arrived at our table with the compliments of the chef.

As we enjoyed our dinner we continued watching Seneca Lake changing with the approach of evening. The Veraisons Restaurant offers a relaxing evening dinner for travelers along the Seneca wine trail.

For those traveling at other times of the day Veraisons offers breakfast and lunch menus. Check it out when traveling in the area.

FYI.  Our dinner was comped by Glenora Wine Cellars.

Cheers, Kathy
