OUr story
As the owners of Six Friends Cabernet, we are delighted every day to share our passion and enthusiasm of wine and food with you- our special guests. Over the last ten years, we have expanded our knowledge of wine through learning from the New York winemakers and winery owners, as we wine toured with our closest friends as six couples- hence the name "Six Friends Cabernet!". The heartfelt passion and dedication put into NY wines encouraged us to become part of the wine industry, and to highlight NY wines from the Niagara, Chautauqua and Finger Lakes regions in our newly restored restaurant in our hometown of Lancaster, NY.
Our very first winery that we partnered with was Barnstormer Winery, so they hold a very special place in our hearts. We even named our semi-private dining area the "Barnstormer" room in their honor. Six Friends Cabernet was established in 2019 and we opened our doors to the public on February 14, 2020, just weeks before doors of many restaurants and bars would be mandated closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Today, we are quickly approaching our first year anniversary and what a year it has been. Through all the ups and downs, the best part, was all of YOU!
We will never forget the kindness, support and patience that we received from our guests, our suppliers, our team, and our family and friends! We could not have made it through 2020 without all of you! Our gratefulness and humbleness is beyond what any words can describe. So please accept our sincere THANK YOU! We are currently back open for indoor dining, as well as take out and delivery, not as a wine tasting room and a café, but as a high quality restaurant that pairs local produce and fine cuisine with so many amazing New York wines.
Our mission is simple- that you will enter as a guest and leave as family with an experience that you will have wonderful memories of for a long time. We hope, like family, that we will see you often and sometimes you will even request your favorite table and dish paired perfectly with our recommended wine! We look forward to exciting new wines and new cuisine prepared and served by our Amazing Executive Chef Jess and the Six Friends Team in 2021, but most importantly we look forward to seeing YOU!
Thank you so much! Come celebrate with us!
