A new Finger Lakes wine-tasting destination featuring a 539-year-old French barn that was relocated to the Town of Hector will hold a ribbon-cutting and grand opening ceremony Saturday, Oct. 24. 1487 Heritage by Domaine LeSeurre is located just off Seneca Lake at 5705 state Route 14 in Hector. Owner Sébastien LeSeurre comes from a family with six generations of winemaking experience in France's famed Champagne region. Céline and Sébastien LeSeurre held a soft opening for 1487 Heritage in early September, but plan to make it official with a ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring guest speakers starting at 10 a.m. Saturday, followed by an open house from noon to 6 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend. Watkins Glen Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Nigar Hale and an as yet unnamed elected official will join Sébastien LeSeurre to speak at the opening ceremony, according to an announcement. The building housing 1487 Heritage was constructed using a French oak barn originally built in 1487 in the Champagne wine region of France, according to Ricardo Amorin, 1487 brand manager. The historic barn was dismantled beam‑by‑beam, shipped across the Atlantic, and re‑erected at the Hector location. More: Burger King in Watkins Glen has reopened, latest in
