Congratulations on your engagement and thank you for your interest in The Ginny Lee Café at Wagner Vineyards as a venue for your special day!

Wagner Vineyards is a family-owned and operated business, originally founded by the late Stanley "Bill" Wagner. His philosophy had always been that wine and food are a natural and enjoyable combination. One of his original concepts for the winery was the addition of a restaurant where people could be introduced to the affinity of wines and food. A natural step in the evolution of the winery was the opening of The Ginny Lee Café in 1983, which is named for his Granddaughter Ginny. Designed with the vista overlooking our vineyards and Seneca Lake, The Ginny Lee Cafe is the perfect setting for your special occasion.
