Billsboro Winery is a Geneva, New York winery offering guided tastings and curated wine experiences in the Finger Lakes region. The winery hosts The Winemaker's Table, an exclusive Sunday tasting led by winemaker Vinny Aliperti, featuring current releases, out-of-the-cellar selections, and local snacks while providing guests with behind-the-scenes insight into winemaking.
Billsboro also offers a 45-minute Wine Tasting Reservation that includes five Finger Lakes wines served in a barn or on a covered patio, paired with local meats and cheeses for an approachable tasting experience. The property stages events including a Bi-weekly Pizza on the Patio event, creating casual, food-forward gatherings alongside wine service. Tastings emphasize varietals from the Finger Lakes AVA and highlight the region's cool-climate styles through focused pours and winemaker commentary.
The combination of winemaker-led offerings, structured tasting reservations, and open events gives visitors clear options for both intimate and social visits. Accessibility for small groups is supported by the reserved 45-minute format, while The Winemaker's Table provides an intimate hour of storytelling and tasting directly from the cellar. Guests receive curated pours, contextual tasting notes, and locally sourced accompaniments to complement the wines. Reservations help manage group sizes and ensure a focused tasting experience for attendees and allow hosts to prepare local pairings.
