Rock Stream Vineyards

Rock Stream Vineyards is an estate winery owned and operated by Dr. Mark Karasz. Mark is a West Point graduate and a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel with a PhD in chemistry. A three-year tour in Italy inspired him to make wine and Grappa. After returning from Italy, he founded Rock Stream Vineyards and began growing quality grapes and making award-winning artisanal wine, grape brandy, liqueurs, Grappa and ports.

The tasting room on Route 14 and Fir Tree Point Road is on the west side of Seneca Lake in the heart of New York’s Finger Lakes region. We’ve been open since July 2005 and we are Seneca Lake’s oldest licensed Grappa and Grape Brandy distillery. The winery produces 18 different wines, 7 liqueurs, 1 brandy, 2 Grappas, and 2 ports. Rock Stream also features 5 beers on tap made by Grist Iron Beer Company. Come by and visit all year round and enjoy “The Wine of Your Life.”
