Three Brothers is not a single winery — it is a small empire. The Mansfield family's sprawling estate on Lerch Road south of Geneva houses three separate wineries (Bagg Dare Wine Company, Stony Lonesome Estate, and the main Three Brothers label), War Horse Brewing Company, and a cidery, all spread across lakeside grounds that feel more like a rural theme park than a traditional tasting room. You could spend an entire afternoon here without repeating a drink, which is precisely the point.

War Horse Brewing is the standout for anyone who is not purely a wine drinker. The brewery occupies a Quonset hut decorated with World War II memorabilia — dog tags, flight jackets, vintage posters — and the theme could scan as gimmicky if the beer were not genuinely good. The Riesling Ale, brewed with grape juice from the adjacent winery, is the signature: a hybrid that sounds like a novelty but actually works, bridging the gap for wine-trail visitors who want something with hops. The Breakfast with Churchill Oatmeal Coffee Stout is another one worth ordering by name. War Horse serves burgers, flatbreads, and pub fare from a full kitchen, which puts it ahead of many Finger Lakes breweries that rely on food trucks.

The real appeal of Three Brothers is logistical. If you are traveling with a group that includes wine people, beer people, cider people, and someone who just wants to sit on a lawn and look at the lake, this is the one stop that keeps everyone happy. Kids are welcome during daytime hours, the grounds have room to spread out, and the brick-oven pizza gives you a reason to stay through lunch. Back-to-back FLX Finest Gold for Best Winery in 2024 and 2025 confirms what the parking lot on a Saturday afternoon already tells you: this place draws a crowd because it delivers on the all-in-one promise that most multi-concept venues only pretend to offer.
