Lakewood Vineyards is a family owned and operated farm winery established in 1988. Chris Stamp, grandson of the farm’s founders, has been making the wines for each of the winery’s 25 vintages. David Stamp, another grandson, oversees the grape growing, and has been working the farm his whole life. The 85 acres of vineyards includes some vines dating back to 1952, and currently consists of 15 varieties.
In 1951, the Stamp family moved to Lakewood Farm, a run-down peach and apple orchard on the west side of Seneca Lake. The next spring, they started planting grapes. The original grapes were those favored by the large wineries and grape juice companies. In the mid-80’s the family diversified to add some new varieties, with the hope of someday using them to make their own wines.
In 1988, Monty and Beverly Stamp and their children pressed the grapes for their first vintage.
Lakewood Vineyards Winery opened to the public in June 1989 with 7 varieties of wine, made from estate-grown grapes from their 45 acres of Finger Lakes vineyards.
Today, with 100 acres of vineyards and 3 Stamp family generations working together, the winery produces a diverse selection of wines. Their dedicated and talented team prides themselves on offering Finger Lakes wines of exceptional quality and value.
