Glenora Wine Cellars is a small- to mid-sized beverage producer based in Dundee, New York, within the Finger Lakes wine region. Established in 1977, it was the first winery to open on Seneca Lake and has produced award-winning Finger Lakes wines for more than four decades. The estate spans about 40 acres and combines a working winery and tasting room with hospitality offerings, including the Inn at Glenora Wine Cellars (30 rooms) and Veraisons Restaurant overlooking the vineyards and the lake. The business is owned by Gene Pierce and Scott Welliver, whose partnership helped grow the operation alongside the regional wine industry. Customers include wine enthusiasts and travelers seeking a combined vineyard experience with lodging and dining, as well as couples planning weddings, evidenced by industry recognitions such as Best of Weddings from The Knot for a decade. In 2023, Glenora invested in a new barrel hall to expand storage capacity.
