About us
THE VINE & TAP EXPERIENCE
Vine & Tap celebrates local flavors by offering a rotating, hand-selected menu of wine, beer, and charcuterie, from across the Finger Lakes and New York State.
Come in and experience what the New York State beverage trails have to offer. Take a seat at our wine bar to enjoy a guided tasting of Finger Lakes native wine or one of our Taste of the Lakes wine flights; get cozy in our lounge to listen to live music while snacking on one of our creative, meal-worthy charcuterie boards; or join us for a local beer on the outdoor patio overlooking Lake Ontario State Park and the Genesee River.
While you’re here, chat with our knowledgeable staff to learn about the featured wineries and breweries, have a down-to-earth conversation about what food to pair with your favorite wines, and get inspiration for your next trip to the Finger Lakes. Whether it’s food, music, or friends, we have a wine to pair with that.
The wine enthusiast behind Vine & Tap.
Jon Cahill started visiting Finger Lakes wineries with his wife more than a decade ago, and slowly the idea for Vine & Tap grew from a daydream on the thruway ride home, to brainstorms with friends, to a business plan. When he found the perfect location here in Charlotte – his hometown and one of the best places to visit in Rochester, NY – he knew it was time to bring the Finger Lakes to the Great Lakes.
Vine & Tap opened in 2024 with the goal of becoming a welcoming space for Rochester locals and visitors to experience the Finger Lakes’ best wineries, vineyards, breweries, and kitchens without traveling too far from home.
When he’s not busy dreaming up a new idea for Vine & Tap or visiting Finger Lakes wineries, you’ll find Jon exploring upstate New York with friends or watching scary movies with his wife, Sam, and 8-year-old pit bull, Bella.
