our new home.
We're opening a second chapter on Seneca Lake — and before we name it, we'd love to hear from the people who love Finger Lakes wine as much as we do.

A word from Sébastien
Watch Sébastien
tell the story.
Before you choose a name, hear it from him directly — the land, the cellar, and the 537-year-old French barn that will anchor our second chapter.

“1487 is the place. The wine is the expression of its story.”
The Project
Three steps.
One vision.
Most people don't yet know what we are building on Seneca Lake. Here is the short version — three steps, three years in the making.
02
The Cellar
A brand-new tasting room rising at the heart of the vines, designed to welcome guests into the rhythm of the vineyard.
03
The 1487 Barn
A French oak barn — built in 1487, dismantled timber by timber in France, shipped across the Atlantic, and reassembled here. The oldest standing barn in the United States.

Why your voice matters
A name carries a story.
We could run a poll. We could ask for a vote. But we want to know how each option lands — how it sounds in your mouth, what it makes you feel, what you'd say to a friend about it.
So this isn't a survey. It's a conversation. Your instincts as wine lovers and friends of the Finger Lakes shape what we build next.
