Experience the Swedish Hill Difference

Now in business for three generations and almost 40 years, Swedish Hill is proud to produce some of the most award-winning wines in the region. Amongst the accolades, they are most honored to have received 3 “Governor’s Cups” (highest award given to a New York State wine) in 1994, 2008, and 2010.

Each year the New York Wine Classic celebrates a diverse selection of world-class wines from producers within the State and most recently in 2022, Swedish Hill earned a total of 15 medals. Of the fifteen, five Swedish wines scored Gold with 90 points or more, including the 2017 Cabernet Franc (93 points), 2020 Reserve Gewürztraminer (90 points), 2021 Blue Waters Dry Rosé (92 points), Blanc De Blanc Sparkling Wine (90 points), and the Bourbon Barrel Aged Red Blend (90 points). These awards are attestation to Swedish Hill’s commitment to local viticulture and winemaking and an unwavering dedication to consistently produce exceptional Finger Lakes wines.
