Thorpe Vineyard

Located ½ mile east of Chimney Bluffs State Park halfway between Syracuse and Rochester, “the Little Winery on the Great Lake” has been 100% woman owned and operated since 1988.  An array of award-winning wines from dry vinifera varietals to sweeter New World blends have been created primarily from homegrown grapes.  The wine labels reflect the artwork of the owner, Fumie Thorpe, and her artist friends – the originals are on display in our Tasting Room.    

Fumie offers two distinct series of events based on her background in meteorology and astronomy.  Sights and Sounds: Backyard Bird Watching and Listening! and Sunset Tasting and Starry Starry Night: Stargazing.  She hopes you to join her to explore the World that surrounds us and the Cosmos that we belong to.  The event dates vary year to year so like and follow us on Facebook or check with our website for up-to-date information.
