History

Penguin Bay Winery opened in 2005 by the Peterson Family on the east side of Seneca Lake at the site of the former Finger Lakes Champagne House. Since it’s opening Penguin Bay’s fun selection of award winning wines has attracted visitors from around the country to try the classic cool climate aromatic whites such as several Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Pinto Grigio, as well as several cool climate reds, including Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc. In addition, going back to its original roots, a number of sparkling wines are offered from our Swedish Hill and Goose Watch sister wineries.

You can drink easily knowing that Penguin Bay Winery donates a portion of all wine proceeds to the Syracuse Rosamond Gifford Zoo for the Humbolt Penguins exhibit!
