CLOSED:
Today is a bittersweet day as we announce we’ve had our last day of business. The last 43 years have been a wild ride. As one of the first wineries on Seneca Lake, my father Dave was a pioneer of the industry and had a great passion for wine and more importantly people. He made some great wine, but most importantly he made some amazing friendships and relationships along the way. To the point where 15 years after his death a weekend doesn’t go by where I don’t hear a story about my Dad or what a memorable time a patron had years ago. He taught me many things, but being good to people and staying humble might be the best attributes he passed along. His love for the land and what he created had, and will be, felt for years to come.
When he passed away suddenly, and I took the reins at a very young age, everyone probably thought it was crazy. At the time, I couldn’t lose my dad and his farm. I’d been running barefoot to the tasting room and following the staff around for years. I loved the place and couldn’t think of parting with it. With help from many people along the way, and most notably my husband, we have created a special place that my dad would be so proud of. We’ve made so many friends and created so many experiences. Harvests, wine festivals, snow blizzard winter days. It has truly been a joy in so many ways. Watching the fruits of our labor turn into a delicious bottle of wine that we get to sell right out the front door. It’s pretty incredible. The customers that have supported us throughout the years have been so loyal, and you truly don’t understand how important your support has been. We will miss you dearly, and maybe some of our paths will cross in the future.
I’d like to thank my amazing work family. I truly believe you are sent people in your lives just when you need them. We couldn’t have done it without you, and most importantly, you made doing it so much better. A nod to Patty, Molly, Liz, Drew, Madi, Aaron, Lisa, Alicia, Mark N, Mikey, Jodie, Kara, Renee, Buzzard, Hannah, Jake, Mark B, Jackson, Erica, Janet, and Kara S.
Our family is ready for a new chapter. It has been a wonderful ride, but, all we’ve ever known. A new adventure is on the horizon, and we are looking forward to making our own dreams happen.
We have found some wonderful buyers to transfer ownership to. They will be announcing their opening in a few weeks, and we are so excited to see what they do with our beloved farm. As we wished, they will not be Bagley’s as it’s a legacy that will end with us. Look out for an announcement soon. Please stop in and show them some love and support as you have always done for us.
They will also have some Bagley’s wine available when they reopen, so stock up it’ll be the last of it!
Please share any memories or stories below. We would love to hear them.
Thank you again for all of the great times, we will miss you!
Brittany, Kenny and The Crew
