September 15, 2008
– HECTOR, NY: Michael and Corinne Oleksyn are pleased to announce the grand opening of the King’s Garden Vineyard & Tasting Room, a brand new estate winery located on Seneca Lake east, 9085 Route 414, Lodi, NY.
Owners Mike and Corinne, have a passion for wine and viticulture, growing only vinifera fruit on their 16-acre vineyard since 1998. The vineyard, located at Lodi Point in Lodi, NY, has been producing luscious and elegant fruit for ten years. Currently offering varietals: Chardonnay, fermented in oak barrel and stainless steel, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir and Bordeaux-style blends.
King’s Garden Vineyard, Owner and Wine-Maker, Michael Oleksyn, explained the King’s Garden Vineyard’s concept, ""When these lands were occupied by European Kings, Their troops and subjects grew vegetables for food on a patch of ground that was commonly referred to as The "Kings Garden". Within those garden’s they planted vines from European cuttings, with the hope to make wine. For the most part, due to the climate and insect life, those cuttings never matured to fulfill their dreams. Our name "Kings Garden Vineyards" is a tribute to those who treaded and tried before us."
The family owned and operated winery is eager to share their tradition, values and experiences with visitors and locals alike. Crafting only 2500 cases, they have the luxury to create premium wines of individual character, a blend of richness, balance and pleasure.
Customers who visited the winery during its first week open had this to say: ""We visited your winery over the weekend and truly enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. The wines we sampled were amazing and the breathtaking panoramic view, seeing to the northern tip of Seneca Lake, and the beautifully landscaped grounds are truly spectacular. We look forward to coming back again and again. What a great addition to the region!" said Kristen Stewart of Corning, NY.
