Located on Main Street in Downtown Canandaigua, Acquilano Wine Cellars offers a thoughtfully curated selection of wines from across the Finger Lakes region alongside their own handcrafted vintages.
This small farm winery is rooted in sustainable vineyard and winery practices, carefully minimizing environmental impact while producing expressive, high-quality wines. Acquilano ages their wines in a traditional cellar, relying on the natural cooling and temperature control of the earth—a timeless approach that honors Old World winemaking methods.
Blending classic European techniques with modern knowledge, their focus is to create wines that truly reflect both the varietal character and the terroir of the Finger Lakes. The result is balanced, distinctive wines that celebrate the region’s unique growing conditions.
Acquilano Wine Cellars also offers its space for private events and welcomes medium and large tour buses, making it a convenient and intimate stop for group travel. Guests can even enjoy pizza delivered directly from Ardor Park, pairing local wine with local flavor.
This winery is also a location along the Canandaigua Lake Wine Trail!
