Celebrating over 45 years of winemaking excellence, Merritt Estate Winery was one of the first wineries established in NY after the signing of the Farm Winery Act in 1976. To this day, the company is still family-owned and operated by William and his son, Jason C. Merritt.
Home of the famous Bella Rosa and XTC, Merritt Winery offers a wide variety of award-winning dry, sweet, and specialty wines! Stop in year-round for wine tastings, tasting room specials, or plan a weekend getaway during one of the festival weekends in June and September. Munch on some of the specialty cheeses, crackers, and popcorn we offer for an afternoon snack.
All ages are welcome at the festivals, including your four-legged friends! Join them for their famous wine slushes, live music, craft and artisan vendors, and great food offered at the pavilion.
Find the Slush Bus serving up Sangria and XTC slushes all summer long throughout the Western NY region or contact the winery to rent the bus for your own personal event!
