Savor the Spirits of Chautauqua

Step inside Mazza Chautauqua Cellars and suddenly you’re transported to the European country home of a very good friend. The aroma of fresh grilled panini, the sound of clinking glasses, and the subtle “oohs” and “ahhs” from a table laden with sumptuous cheesecake and espresso tell you this will be no ordinary winery visit.

The Mazza family has taken great measures to create a one-of-a-kind experience for each and every guest. And it all begins with the hand-crafted copper pot still, imported from Germany, which rises from the ceramic tile floor like a beautiful, contemporary sculpture. Western New York’s newest winery is also its only distillery, where wine is transformed into brandy and the region’s delectable fruits are concentrated into healthful eau de vie, “the essence of life.”

Or a sampling of our distinctive premium wines in the tasting room after browsing at Red Brick Farm?

Bring a book or your laptop--our café is equipped with all the latest amenities, including wireless internet.
