My dream wedding is outside at one of the wineries in the finger lakes in the fall.  Does anyone have any suggestions or has anyone been to one in this type of location?

    Six Mile Creek Vineyard in Ithaca is gorgeous. That WAS my dream wedding, just out of our budget after the tent rental/catering/etc. Look into it, talk to Allison, she's great!! I wish we could have had ours there!

    I'm having my dream fingerlakes fall wedding in three weeks!!  There is also a new Winery Wedding board too, check it out on the theme boards.  There are several places you can choose.  We are getting married at Belhurst Castle in Geneva.  Other options are Casa Larga in Victor (outside Rochester), Heron Hill (by far BEST view ever, amazing!), Glenora has a tent you can rent, not too sure on any of the specifics, we didn't check them out.  Ventosa is AWESOME, but too expensive for us.There is also a winery wedding fingerlakes website, check it out here at fingerlakesweddings dot com, and stayfingerlakes dot com.  Good Luck and if you need any more help, feel free to contact me!

    Our wedding was too big for many of the wineries so we went with a historic inn in the fingerlakes. It sat right on the lake and still had the right feel. I have some pics in my bio but can give you more if interested.

    Check out Anyela's Vineyard in Skaneateles.  We had our wedding there and it was beautiful.  It doesn't suit everyone because it is on the smaller side but it worked for us and was very budget friendly compared to many others.

    Check out Ventosa, Miles (you have to bring in everything), Three Brothers, Wagners, Logan Ridge, Sheldrake Point, Glenora, Anthony Road... that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

    Unless Fox Run has started allowing people to put up tents out behind the winery (which is a possibility) they can only accommodate 30 people for any event.

    Thanks to all the replyed.  We will be trying to keep it small and with in a tight budget so I will be checking out Anyela's, the pictures there look beautiful.  I know the people from Anthony Roads are very good people and Atwater is a lot of fun, so those are also on my list.  Someone else told me Bully Hill is fun, but I'm not in love with thier wine.  I will be happy to take any tips on making this dream come true, also we live in Albany so we will be traveling in and are unfamiliar with the area.

    Casa Larga (Victor, NY) has a great reputation and is pretty budget friendly especially if you decide to go with a Friday or Sunday.  We didn't want a friday (and that's all they had for around our date) but we looked there since my family is from Rochester and I think it was around $50/pp suprisingly low for their amazing reputation, and I believe to hold the cermony there was $2.50/pp.  That inculdes cocktail hour and open bar.And if I remember correctly there was not a minimum for Firday or Sunday which a lot of places have.Good Luck!

    We got married at Wagner on Seneca last July.  There are lots of pics in my bio, and links to lots of vendors and reviews.

    We're getting married outside at Glenora in May. It's gorgeous, small, the staff is incredible, and it's great because it's a winery and an inn with 30 rooms for the guests.
