Hosmer Estate Winery, a fourth-generation family farm, is located on Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State. With grapevine plantings dating back to the 1970s – and early experiments with plantings of classic Vinifera – owners Cameron and Maren Hosmer established their estate winery in 1985 on the principle that great wine starts in the vineyard. To this day, our wine portfolio reflects, and celebrates, only what is grown on our 70 acres: An ever-increasing set of Rieslings, Chardonnays, and Cabernet Francs, but also a selection of the French American hybrid varieties that were the lifeblood of an early Finger Lakes vineyard.
As of recent, the next generation in the Hosmer family, Tim and Brooke Hosmer, have taken over management. Growing up on the farm and working closely with his parents has instilled in Tim a deep understanding of grapevines and the land he knows as home. Brooke came to Hosmer in 2017 and has since filled the role of General Manager. Since late 2016, Finger Lakes transplant Julia Hoyle has stepped into the role of winemaker at Hosmer Winery.
