Our Story

Rooted in the Finger Lakes,
Grown with Purpose

Randall-Standish Vineyards was born from a simple conviction: that the rolling hills and mineral-rich soils around Canandaigua Lake offer something truly special in a bottle. What began as a modest plot of vines in 1978 has grown into one of the Finger Lakes' most cherished wine destinations — without ever losing the warmth and honesty that guided our first harvest.

Today, our 45-acre vineyard sits on the eastern shore of Canandaigua Lake, where the lake effect creates a microclimate that coaxes extraordinary character from every varietal we plant. We tend our vines by hand, ferment in small batches, and age in oak until each wine tells the story of this place — the foggy mornings, the golden autumns, the quiet patience of the winter dormancy.

Whether you're a lifelong wine enthusiast or tasting for the first time, we invite you to slow down, sit with us, and discover what the Finger Lakes can pour into your glass.
