Ledge Rock Hill Winery Moves Its Tasting Room To Route 9, Lake George

Ledge Rock Hill Winery has moved from their location in Corinth to at the new location at 1776 Route 9 in Lake George.

Ledge Rock Hill Winery has been specializing in craft winemaking for over a decade using high quality New York grapes and fruit infusions.

“Ledge Rock Hill Winery is incredibly excited,” co-owners Kevin, Will, and Connor Morgan said in a statement. “We have moved from our ‘winery in the woods’ location in Corinth to beautiful Lake George. Come to our tasting room and sample our varieties of dry and sweet wines, listen to live music, and sit by the campfire.”

The winery celebrated the move with a ribbon cutting facilitated by the Lake George Regional Chamber of Commerce on July 1. The festivities included wine tasting, live music, food truck, giveaways, yard games and a campfire.

“The new location is beautiful and conveniently located in Lake George. We’re thrilled to have Ledge Rock Hill Winery back on our Adirondack Craft Beverage Trail Digital Passport, which now includes 13 stops,” said Lake George Regional Chamber Executive Director Gina Mintzer.

Ledge Rock Hill Winery is a family-run operation “with knowledgeable and dedicated staff, all sharing a true love and appreciation for the art of fine wine making,” the owners said.

It was established officially as a winery in 2010 by the Akrop family and operated out of the original location in Corinth. This year, the tasting room was moved to the Lake George location.

“We specialize in limited vintage productions of hand-crafted wines made from premium grapes. We take great pride in producing wines that are custom crafted from the highest quality fruit available. The fruit is harvested from our own vineyard as well as a select few partner vineyards that have been able to consistently meet our high quality standards,” the Morgans said.

“We use all natural ingredients and limit the use of sulfites as much as possible in order to ensure freshness and impart aging ability to our wines. Our fermentation takes place in MacroBins or Stainless Steel tanks under controlled conditions. We hand-punch our reds during fermentation for optimum skin and juice contact and press as gently as possible.”

Transfers are done with the least amount of turbulence to preserve the freshness of the wines. Red wines are made from grapes crushed at the winery and are aged for a minimum of 10 months in American, Hungarian or French oak barrels. Clarity and brilliance is achieved without filtration, they said.

White wines are fermented at cool temperatures and aged in stainless steel “to bring the true varietal character of the grape forward. Our sweet wines are hand-crafted to accent the notes of the various grapes and fruit flavors that comprise them. All leading to a perfect balance of taste and delicious sweetness,” said ownership.

“A wine making heritage and decades of wine making experience, coupled with a scientific background and passion for the art of vinification, have enabled us to take our wine making skills to a higher level of quality and sophistication that we hope you will enjoy,” the owners said.

They have won awards in contests such as The Finger Lakes International, Indy International, Florida International and The American Wine Society.

It is open Mondays through Thursday, 1-6 p.m.; Friday, 1-8 p.m.; Saturday, noon to 8 p.m.; and Sunday noon to 7 p.m.
