Ventosa Vineyards just earned another major nod from couples who tied the knot there.
The Geneva winery has been named a 2026 winner of The Knot Best of Weddings awards. This marks the second year Ventosa has received the honor, which recognizes top wedding professionals nationwide based on reviews from real couples.
The Knot bases the awards on thousands of verified reviews from couples who booked vendors through its platform. To qualify, vendors must receive at least seven reviews with a 4.5-star rating or higher during the prior year.
Ventosa Vineyards exceeded that standard. Every review the winery received during the qualifying period earned a five-star rating, according to the announcement.
The winery credited its staff for making the recognition possible. Ventosa thanked its servers, bartenders, chefs, dishwashers, and behind-the-scenes team members who help bring each wedding together.
The announcement also gave special recognition to RJ, Phyllis, and Jackie P. for their contributions. Ventosa expressed gratitude to the couples who trusted the winery with their wedding celebrations and shared their experiences through reviews.
Ventosa Vineyards is located along the shores of Seneca Lake in the heart of the Finger Lakes. The Italian-inspired winery is known for its lake views, Old World-style design, and award-winning wines. It has become a popular destination for weddings and events, offering hospitality, cuisine, and scenic settings for couples and their guests.
