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 that honors the land, the past, and the potential of each vintage.
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 white, orange, and red wines that are not only wildly inventive but also a testament to history, craftsmanship, and the true essence of the grape.
We offer both indoor and covered outdoor seating, providing you with the opportunity to enjoy panoramic views of the vineyards, gardens, and Cayuga Lake, all while being sheltered from the elements. Enjoy wines by the glass or bottle while taking in the picturesque view. Come spend the day with us – we’d love to host you.
Take in the scenic beauty of the lake and let our team members guide you through the unique story of each wine. Tastings typically last between 45 to 60 minutes, and reservations are strongly recommended.
Discover the ancient art of méthode ancestrale, the oldest technique for crafting natural sparkling wine, as you indulge in an immersive brunch tasting experience. Brunch is available on Saturdays and Sundays only, and reservations are required.
Relax with a curated picnic lunch and choose your favorite wine to enjoy with vineyard and lake views. Available everyday with reservations required.
Two million years ago, the Finger Lakes were formed by receding glaciers, leaving deep, pristine lakes and steeply sloped hillsides, ideal for grape growing. Fast forward to 2020, when the property was purchased by local vineyardists Dave and Melissa Pittard. Attracted by the property’s well-established vines overlooking Cayuga Lake, Dave and Melissa saw the opportunity to create an exciting new style of wines rarely seen in the Finger Lakes region.
You can purchase our wines through our online shop for secure checkout and direct shipping to most states. (Some restrictions apply.)
If you’re nearby, we’d love for you to swing by our Cayuga Lake winery in the Finger Lakes, New York. You can explore our selection and make purchases during regular business hours in the tasting room.
