It has become a tradition.
Colloca Estate Winery’s Lake Effect Vineyard® wines have been recognized for excellence every year since 2014 when we first entered our 2010 vintages. Since then, ours wines have received over 52 awards leading up to 2021 when we were named New York State Late Harvest Winery of the Year.
So when you buy a bottle of Colloca wine, you’re not just buying a good bottle of wine, you’re opening a great one.
And, you don’t have to just take or word for it.
