Six Eighty Cellars crafts unique, earthenware-aged wines from Certified Sustainable grapes in the Finger Lakes of New York. With minimal intervention and unconventional techniques, we invite you to taste the unexpected.
A philosophy shaped by nature, guided by history, and inspired by what’s possible.
We age our wines in ancient-style earthenware, letting flavor and texture unfold naturally. A 6,000-year-old method, made modern.
We push boundaries through co-ferments, rare grapes, and experimental blends—guided by tradition, never limited by it.
From vineyard to vessel, our low-impact methods honor the land and craft wines that reflect and protect the Finger Lakes.
Native yeast, minimal additives, and gentle aging let each wine express the raw, honest character of the
grape.
With ancient-style vessels made from terracotta, concrete, clay, and sandstone, we age our wines in a way that is both natural and intentional. This process transcends time, producing wines that are not only wildly inventive but also a testament to history, craftsmanship, and the true essence of the grape.
Settle in with a glass and soak up vineyard rows, seasonal gardens, and sweeping Cayuga Lake views. Whether you’re joining us for a tasting, cellar tour, or just stopping by for a bottle or a bite, we offer both indoor and covered outdoor seating—so you can relax comfortably, rain or shine.
Take in the scenic beauty of the lake and let our team members guide you through the unique story of each wine. Tastings include 5 wines of your choice, and typically last between 45 to 60 minutes. Final tastings begin an hour before closing. Reservations are strongly recommended.
Start your day with a curated flight of five wines paired with your choice of a seasonal brunch, served alongside vineyard views and good company. Brunch is available on Saturdays and Sundays only, and reservations are required.
Relax with a curated picnic lunch basket and choose your favorite wine to enjoy with vineyard and lake views. Available everyday with reservations required.
Step into the cellar and experience where the magic happens. Our Cellar Tour Tastings offer an immersive look behind the scenes—taste wines straight from the vessel, explore our unique amphorae and earthenware aging methods, and get a firsthand look at our sustainable, low-intervention approach to winemaking. Offered select Saturdays May–August. Reservations required.
Dave and Melissa Pittard came back to the Finger Lakes to raise their family and start something new. With winemaker Ian Barry in the cellar, that vision became Six Eighty Cellars—a place where creativity, curiosity, and collaboration drive everything we do. Shaped by a shared vision and the curiosity of winemaker Ian Barry, whose experimental, low-intervention approach pioneers new experiences in every glass.
