Osmote Wine is expanding with new Finger Lakes tasting building

Known for its wine and wonderful views of Seneca Lake, Osmote Wine is working hard to make sure both are available to more Finger Lakes visitors throughout the year. The popular winery with a tasting pavilion off state Route 79 in Burdett is now constructing an indoor building for retail wine tasting that will allow Osmote to be open all season. Benjamin Riccardi is the founder, winemaker and business manager of Osmote Wine. Riccardi said the outdoor tasting pavilion first opened during COVID-19 and has grown greatly, to the point where Osmote Wine needed to build a more traditional indoor wine tasting site to meet demand. "The new building is going to be for retail wine tasting," Riccardi said. "My wife and I live on the property where we farm grapes and raise pigs. We've been making wine for over 12 years; we opened the pavilion in 2020. It's been a really good experience, so we wanted to compliment that with this new building so we will be open the entire season." Riccardi said the new building will be completed and open in the spring of 2027. Burdett Village Mayor Linda Arcangeli is among those who can't wait to sip
