Lakeland Winery, located in the heart of Syracuse, NY, is an innovative urban winery dedicated to making quality wine more accessible and enjoyable. Founded in 2005 by Andrew Watkins, Lakeland began as “Vine 2 Wine,” a custom winemaking facility that allowed customers to create their own wines. Today, it has evolved into a charming urban winery where wines are crafted on-site using grapes, fruits, and berries sourced from multiple vineyards. The inviting atmosphere at 877 State Fair Blvd is designed to foster a homey feeling, encouraging guests to relax, sip, and socialize with friends and family while exploring a diverse selection of wines.
At Lakeland Winery, the focus is on quality and flavor, steering clear of the pretentiousness often associated with the wine industry. The team believes that everyone should have the opportunity to discover their preferred wines through tasting rather than intimidation. With a commitment to providing a variety of delicious options, Lakeland invites customers to experience the unique flavors of their handcrafted wines. Whether visiting the winery or purchasing online, guests are welcomed into the growing Lakeland family, where every bottle reflects a passion for great wine.
The winery’s journey has been shaped by customer feedback, leading to continuous improvements and an ever-evolving selection of offerings. Lakeland Winery strives to embody the idea that “great wine requires a lucid poet to make it and a lover to drink it,” treating each bottle as a form of bottled poetry. With a dedication to enhancing the wine experience for everyone, Lakeland Winery remains committed to their original vision: to help you savor the flavors of life in a relaxed, inviting setting.
