Expect the Unexpected

Pioneering New Experiences in Wine

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.

Our Winemaking Values

A philosophy that honors the land, the past, and the potential of each vintage.

amphora-focused

We age our wines in ancient-style earthenware, letting flavor and texture unfold naturally. A 6,000-year-old
method, made modern.

innovative techniques

We push boundaries through co-ferments, rare grapes, and experimental blends—guided by tradition, never
limited by it.

sustainability

From vineyard to vessel, our low-impact methods honor the land and craft wines that reflect and protect the Finger Lakes.

minimal intervention

Native yeast, minimal additives, and gentle aging let each wine express the raw, honest character of the
grape.

Satisfy Your Curiosity

Crafted In Ancient Vessels

a tradition that spans millennia

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.

Tastings & Events

Come DRINK IN THE VIEW

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.

Small-batch wine with certified sustainable grapes

our story

Past Meets Present

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.
