Johnson Winery, Westfield, NY

No trip to New York State is complete without a tour of the beautiful wine country on the southeastern shore of Lake Erie. One of the finest Wineries in this region is the Johnson Winery located in Westfield, NY. Johnson Winery is New York State’s oldest Estate Winery, and today they produce a wonderful assortment of wines in the centuries-old, French and German Chateau wine making tradition.

The designation as an Estate Winery is something the Johnson family takes pride in, and it is an important distinction. As an Estate Winery, all of the various steps involved in the wine making process take place right on site. All of the grapes used in Johnson Winery’s wines are cultivated on the Estate property, harvested at peak ripeness, and produced just a few thousand feet from where they were grown at the Estate winery.

Producing wines in the Chateau tradition is part of what sets Johnson Winery’s wines apart from the rest. As you will learn on your visit, Mother Nature deserves a great deal of the credit, as well.
