Himrod offers several different highlights: wine and historic architecture at Miles Wine Cellars, an animal tour at Sweet Farm, or flowers and seasonal goods at the LaBarr Farms farm stand. Another tasting room at Vineyard View Winery brings together vineyards and views of Seneca Lake. This selection can help you decide which visits will shape your stay before you look for a place to stay; the offerings also differ in duration, advance reservations, and seasonality.

Wine and Architectural History at Two Tasting Rooms

The tasting room at Miles Wine Cellars is located in an 1802 Greek Revival mansion. A tasting there pairs wine with a building whose style and year of construction are specifically identified. Miles Wine Cellars offers award-winning wines from its own vineyards. For guests who want to experience wine and architectural history together, this historic setting is a clear point of reference. Miles Wine Cellars is also accessible by boat. If you arrive by water, confirm the specific arrival details with the provider in advance.

The tasting room at Vineyard View Winery is located on Seneca Lake in Himrod. The property includes expansive vineyards and a farmhouse, as well as a view of the lake. Compared with Miles Wine Cellars, the landscape features are part of the experience here, while the 1802 mansion provides the architectural connection at Miles. This makes it easy to distinguish between the two wine visits based on whether you would rather focus on historic architecture or vineyards and lake views. Check the Vineyard View tasting room’s hours and availability before your visit.

Animal Tours at Sweet Farm

Sweet Farm offers one-hour public tours year-round. Guests can meet the rescued animals; advance reservations are required. The duration is easy to work into your stay, while the reservation requirement should be taken into account ahead of your visit. Visitors can arrange ASL interpretation for these tours upon request. If you would like this support, mention your request when booking.

Sweet Farm also has a wine tasting room in collaboration with Vineyard View Winery. Check whether it is currently operating before your visit. This means there is a wine offering at the farm in addition to the tours; its current operating status is a separate planning consideration.

The Seasonal Farm Stand

The LaBarr Farms farm stand on Randall Crossing Road in Himrod offers fresh flowers, seasonal produce, freshly baked cookies, and crafts. It operates seasonally. The flowers used for the fresh bouquets are grown without pesticides or herbicides. Unlike the Sweet Farm tours, which are offered year-round, a visit here depends on seasonal operations. If the farm stand is part of your reason for traveling, check in advance whether it will be operating when you visit.
