Idol Ridge Winery opened its doors at the end of November 2013, as one of the newest wineries on the East side of Seneca Lake. Sitting up on a ridgez south of Lodi, it has one of the best panoramic views along the entire coastline of the lake. The focus of wines at Montezuma has always been fruit and honey wines. Idol Ridge Winery is home to a line of wines using European vinifera grape varieties along with some premium Cornell hybrids.
