OUr story
As the owners of Six Friends Cabernet, we are delighted every day to share our passion and enthusiasm of wine and food pairing with you- our special guests. Over the course of ten years, prior to opening, we expanded our knowledge 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 not only white, but delicious red NY wines from the Niagara, Chautauqua, and Finger Lakes regions in our newly transformed facility in our hometown of Lancaster, NY.
The 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. Today, we can look back at our first years with a sense of accomplishment and success. Through all the ups and downs, the best part, has been all of YOU!
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 constantly are looking to make improvements at Six Friends Cabernet and to grow our knowledge so we can provide the best service to you as possible. As a result, we have expanded our wine travels to Canada and are hoping to bring in some amazing new wines from Ontario in 2023. We have a full list of whiskeys, bourbons, and specialty cocktails. We recently met with Black Button in Rochester and created a customized Six Friends Bourbon that we hope to be able to share with you before the end of 2022. Add our cozy fireplace, delicious food, comfortable atmosphere, friendly staff, loyalty program, members club, special events, and online ordering for takeout or curbside pick-up- we hope you'll find Six Friends Cabernet a favorite place to visit.
We are grateful for the kindness and support that we receive from our guests, our suppliers, our team, and our family and friends! We could not have made it through our first few years without your support! So please accept our sincere THANK YOU! We are open for full service indoor and outdoor casual dining, as well as take out. We offer a variety of wines, whiskeys, bourbons, and spirits in our tasting room to pair and share with delicious cuisine.
We look forward to exciting new drinks and new cuisine each season, but most importantly we look forward to seeing YOU!
Thank you so much! Come celebrate with us!
