Deers Leap in Northampton

We went Saturday and it was closed and no one around. The website said it was open

This place isn't open, very much vacant and no sign out front. It looks like they packed up overnight and left. According to the website they are still up and running but aren't. And the building looks run down. I'm wondering if they have relocated.

CLOSED! Everything we looked up or read indicates that this place still exists. So we drove out there. The place was abandoned and seems it has been for some time. We were disappointed ☹️ PLEASE UPDATE. Thank you!

One of my favorite brands of wine. Love the fruitful flavor, the Fredonia is the best.

Is this place closed? Why isn't it updated ? Tryed going there today and it looks like it's been closed a long time.

Not a fan, the wine tasting was awful. Atmosphere was ok, does not seem like a winery I'd give it a more Bar vibe then winery, seemed not very clean. We could have just went on a bad day too. We did not eat here. Id maybe give it a try but not the wine part personally.

Food was good and very reasonable priced.

Website said they were open and a Groupon was offered. We bought the Groupon but when we arrived, there was a closed sign on the door and no one around. Don't trust this website. Call or arrive first before wasting money you can't get back.

The food was awesome. The service was awesome, Colleen was our server and she handled our food and wine order. We make this trip usually twice a year. We love the fruit wines. We come up just to get the wine and have some lunch.

Great fruit wines. Michelle our server was wonderful.

A very different vibe from the other wineries. If you are looking for good home cooked and hearty food - go here. The ambiance is very rustic- not scenic. The service is very authentic.

Ordered the appetizer sampler and it was the worst ever. Mushrooms fried till almost black, onion rings which were a tangled mess, mozzarella sticks that tasted like store bought and potato skins that were greasy and tasted like old oil. Some other members of my party had grilled chicken salads which looked really yummy. They seemed to like them. Service was just ok. I don't know why the simplest things seem to be so hard for area chefs.

Always our first and last stop when we head out on a wine excursion. Staff is always friendly and accommodating, food is great and priced below what you would expect. Yes the wine is on the sweet side but that is true for the grapes that grow on this area. If that's not your thing the bar is full service and the drinks are always well made. Overall a great night out whether your just having a quick stop while visiting the area or an entire evening, afternoon or combination. Deers leap is and always will be our favorite and best stop when we come to Geneva wine country

Our favorite place for food and entertainment! A real down to earth winery with real people!!

Let's start with the wine, it is very sweet. If you are a dry wine drinker this is not for you. The fruit wine was syrupy after which I could not taste the Niagara. Our side of that the service was very nice. Good people. Bourbon wings were over sauced if you like that the garlic was just about right. Prices fair and reasonable.

Love this wine all of them,so do all my friends. The winery isnt really busy or overcrowded which is really nice. The foods good not great.But the wine is the best!!!

The food, wine, and service are great. My father and I had their signature wine burger, we both loved it, and my mother had the appetizer sampler and she really liked it. I also tried the Berry Blast carbonated wine and it was very tasty. The table behind us got the berry & cream wine slushy, it looked delicious, I look forward to trying it on a future visit. We were there on a Friday evening and there was live music, really enjoyed this bonus. The only criticisms I have for the entire experience is the outside of the winery needs better lighting both on the building and in the parking area and there needs to be signage at both entrances to the parking lot with lights on the portion with the winery name. If I had not been researching on Google maps before our trip and saw that there entrances were we never would have found it at night, we actually drove past it the first time and I had to insist that we pull into the unlit unmarked area for us to find it. When we found the parking area there was almost no outside lighting and the winery honestly looked closed. The parking area was very dark and felt a little unsafe, but we made it to the also mostly unlit patio entrance and went in, everything after that was great until we had to walk back out into the black parking lot. We left through the Rt. 534 side where I saw they had a sign with an electronic portion but again there were no lights pointing at the part of the sign with the name of the winery making it hard to find at night. I really like the food and wine and will go back on future trips but PLEASE light your sign so people can find you and light your parking area.

Yes, the décor is dated and there is not a sweeping view of rolling vineyards to gaze upon but their fruit wines are fabulous and the food is pretty good, especially for the price. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. If you are looking for fancy this isn't your place. If you are looking for great wine, good food and quality service then check them out.

Great place. We all loved it. Morgan was friendly and welcoming and laughed at our bad jokes. The wines were good. We bought one canoli, but it looked so good all 3 of us ended up buying a canoli. Chocolate dipped with a drizzle of something on it. They have an enclosed patio that we'd love to come and enjoy in the summer!

The service was excellent. However, this is not about the service. The wine tasting was pre-poured in little jello shot cups. To put it nicely the wine was bad. I mean, horrible. I don't know if it was sitting in the cups too long or what the problem was, but there was a problem. Perhaps someone should actually taste it once in a while. Hopefully this was just a bad experience and not the norm.

My husband LOVED the hot wings! The sweet fruit wines are delicious! Stop in and visit!

My husband got the all you can eat fish and said it was very salty. I had the liver and onions. It was so dry it cut the inside of my mouth. Waitress very friendly

My roommate and I were there last night 9-4-2021 to celebrate my 63rd birthday. Morgan was our server. She was quite busy so it took her awhile to get to our table. When she finally came to our table she was very friendly and helpful. She explained the wine varieties and answered any questions that we had. As busy as she was she nevermore us feel rushed. She made my day great.

Amazing wines .very down to earth winemaker..very good cooks...they do there best to get your order out as quick as they can..please giving them a chance all the wines are wonderful I know very well I've tried them all..Fredonia is very good ...

Let’s start at the beginning, shall we? The sign to the left of the door. Which said, I’m paraphrasing….. Thanks to government handouts, we can’t find anybody to work here…so, please understand the reason for slow service…oh! And please tip the people who did show up to work generously. You might as well put on the sign the following: We don’t pay our people very well and because they work in a joyless environment, don’t expect a smile when you walk in the door. I don’t take responsibility at all. It’s easier to blame the government. Trump 2024! So, to review…we left and went a couple of miles down the road to Harpersfield Winery…our table spent a few hundred dollars on wine and food. They were packed with people and not once did I hear a complaint. Now, they may have been understaffed, but you never would have known it. No signs blaming the government for a thing… I’ve said it before. If a business relies on the expendable income of people who have a myriad of choices of where to spend that income, why put out a blatant sign with political overtones? I vote with my wallet. Check, please.

Had the whole patio to ourselves. Food was delicious, service was excellent.

Amazing service. All great wines. And a beautiful patio. The band was setting up when we were there but it's awesome that they have live music on Sundays.

Good food. Very good service. Waitress Colleen was on it! We all ate sea food dishes. Good stuff. Try the Cajun Seafood pasta.

Great pub and lovely atmosphere, Amanda and Darren and the staff do great job of keeping customers happy 👍🏻

Service was bad first time we went. Tried again bad again. Been to many wineries in the area this by far the worst for service. Kind of a shame. They had some good wine but won’t be back.

Excellent fruit wines. Friendly staff. We bought a case and they comped the tasting which was very reasonable to begin with. We plan to order another case when we get back home to Massachusetts.

If I could give ZERO stars I definitely would. We decided to check them out while visiting from out of the area. The girl who “welcomed” us was absolutely awful. We asked about trying their wines, she sent us to another room, it was where they kept their wines. When I asked for a wine menu with descriptions and RS she had no idea what I was talking about and said all they had was a food/drink menu. A group came in just behind us and she proceeded to offer them tastings. CUSTOMER SERVICE FAIL. We have been to several wineries in the area and have already purchased over a case today alone. Will never return and will definitely be sharing our experience from this winery with friends, family and on social media.

Great place, great food and staff is awesome.

Very good food and interesting wine options. Worth a stop.

I had the ribs, and they were quite tasty and very tender. We took our mother there for a mom's day dinner. There was even live music! Reasonable prices. Nothing fancy but a good place to eat.

This is a MUST GO TO. Winery !!! Casey was our major helper server and most AWESOME all around EVERYTHING!!! She's a DEFINITE AAAAAA+++++ for everything on top of being such a Kind young Lady!!! The wine is absolutely OUTSTANDING - WE loved all that we tried- prices are soooo reasonable and the food was extremely DELICIOUS!!!! Couldn't ask for a better anything as we met family from out of town and had the Best of the Bestest times!!! Thank you to all of you at DEER'S LEAP WINERY 🍷

We had a great time. The wine samples were awesome. Our service was fantastic and she was a lot of fun and very informative. The food was great. Great place to go.

My better half and me have always enjoyed excellent service at Deer's. Leap. At times they get very busy, but just be patient and you Will be served! The help always work so hard and are very accommodating.

Extremely disappointing. Large selection of wines.. although the staff was extremely rude and unhelpful.

Wings were pretty good. Pizza was awful

We love Deer's Leap. They, by far, have the greatest selection of fantastic fruit wines. We just bought 4 cases to bring home to Chicago.

Great food and great fruit wines

I love their wine -especially the Pinot Noir

Can't really rate the wine/food because we couldn't even get through the front door. We showed up and no one was at the front so we walked around to figure out what to do when we were met with a rude worker asking us if we have talked to the hostess. When we said no she rolled her eyes and walked away. We were then met with the hostess who came in from another room and we were told we couldn't be seated because they were too busy (basically the whole place was empty, only a couple of tables were occupied). Won't return.

We were in Geneva for a weekend getaway and walked into a practically empty place and were told we needed a reservation. Won't ever try to go back there again.

A few weeks before going to this winery we contacted them to see if we could have a group of 8 because of Covid. We gave them the date and the owner responded and said it was fine. He even warned us it might be a little crowded because a band was playing. When we showed up they told us we couldn't be there because we had 8 people. We explained we emailed the owner and even showed them the email. The one employee was extremely rude to us. We asked to speak to the owner to show him the email and he wouldn't even come out to try to fix the situation. The place was practically empty and after this I could see why.

Laid back atmosphere great food great prices

We waited 20 minutes to get water and another 20 to get warm white wine. They brought out a cup of ice (to water it down) instead of a bucket of ice to chill it on. We waited a while to get our food. It was cold and obvious it was sitting for a while (there was a film on the steak sauce from sitting in the window). Also, they put chipotle sauce on my cold Rueben. Never offered to take anything off of our bill...and they weren’t even that busy.

The only reason I am giving this place one star is because there is not an option for zero stars. The most horrible food we've ever had, chairs and tables were broke, poor service, and was lacking in the cleanliness department as well.We will never go back. I could go on but I believe I've made my point.

Excellent food. Server was awesome!!

From the outside it doesn't look like much but the food and wine was GREAT and Casey is AWESOME! She has a great personality and had us laughing all day!

We came to the winery around dinner time and were immediately greeted by a server who acted as if we didn’t belong there. We were seated and told by a waitress that we were not able to do flights or sample of of the wines we had to purchase by the full glass or bottle yet a table next to us requested samples of wine and were served. We walked out without ordering because of the staff.

We called at 7:30pm, nice gentlemen answered to to confirm the kitchen closed at 8pm not the restaurant. We told him we were on our way. Got there at 7:40pm and two waitresses refused our service.

Visited 10 wineries and So far best spot for sweet wines. (Our taste is on the sweeter end of the spectrum Rs of at least 4 and low acidity) Definitely try the chocolate strawberry wine.

Love their wines, snacks and sandwiches are great pairing with wine.

Great sweet wine! Would love to have my trio play there toss summer

Way better than last place we tried before coming here...better wines for what I like...doesn't look like much on the outside, but absolutely adorable on the inside, super nice, great sweet wines and definitely will be back!!!!!

Absolutely wonderful!! Their wines are spectacular and the people are great!!! All in all 5 star winery in my opinion and don’t let the front stop you from coming in...don’t judge a book by its cover. Definitely will be back!!!

I used to love this winery (the Pear wine is my favorite- the only reason for two stars) but over the last two years I have seen a steady decline in both service and cleanliness. The quality of food has also deteriorated. The last two visits (recently and over the summer) it was very apparent that the restaurant was short-staffed (staff was vocal about it, our table was only half wiped clean) and it took a long time for food to come to the table (and it was cold)! I hope this place can clean up and get it together, because it used to be awesome.

Had AUCE fish fry - excellent! Very light & crispy breading, but not greasy at all! Fresh cut fries & cole slaw rounded out the meal. Highly recommended! 😋

Great winery. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it is totally worth stopping in. I loved every wine that I sampled, which I don't say often.

Love this winery love their food

Had the fish fry. Great meal!! Going back with friends.

Most disgusting food i ever ate. Mashed potatoes were spoiled and steak looked like and tasted like it wasd microwaved. Calling health department in the morning as well as saving my spoiled hazardous food. Hopefully we dont get sick .

This was a great place to enjoy wine and dinner, summer stopping enjoy the outside patio! I have been here meany of times to pick up my wine and dinner after a warm breezy ride on the back of the motorcycle! Once I found out I can order online!!! Wonderful I can order several bottles! Makes for nice holiday gifts!

Very busy and only 2 waitresses working. 2nd experience where this place is understaffed on a busy night. Sat there for 15 minutes with no help so we walked out.

Very good wine. Large variety. Spinach artichoke dip is yummy. They were just hit buy a bus of people and handled it well. We marked it with a heart on our map and will be back. Alexis and Jessica took good care of us. We will be back for the mozzarella cheese sicks. We hear that they're amazing. 😁

Continuous growth to a already great place.

I took a group of 20 people and they couldn't handle things. We made a two week advance reservation. The young man tending bar had no knowledge of how to make the drinks we requested. So we ordered Sangria. It took quite a while to receive the pitchers. They took our dinner orders next. We never received our salads or bread. The dinners took forever and came out at different intervals. One girl ordered lobster. The first one was undercooked. The second one was green. It was a great disappointment all around. I will never go back.

Very disappointed. Music was so loud I got a headache. The singer was crude as well. He did not need a microphone.The French onion soup was way too salty and tasted like smoke. Got potato skins and I could not even cut them. The others i was with got prime rib and steak. They looked awful. Rubbery and way well done. Yuck. We will never go back again. I've heard that the food was not good and I agree.

Didn't care for the wine at all 😝

Somewhat disappointed. Food was okay. I had a side salad and french onion soup. He had the french dip sandwich with fries. My salad was fresh but the soup was so salty I could only eat the top of it. He said the sandwich and fries were good. My biggest complaint was that someone was smoking outside the kitchen door prior to our meal and the smell of cigarette smoke was blowing into the dining room. That ruined my entire meal. Waitress was pleasant but very busy by herself.

Great food and server Michelle Shaw 4/12/2019

A more welcoming public house one could not wish to find. Amanda & her team are both efficient and courteous. Prices are very competitive and there are a varied array of entertainments from free jukebox to a meat auction! (Yes, a meat auction, oh what fun? Not to mention free pool & other distractions from the run of the mill pub) Do not avoid this little gem if you either reside in Northampton or just passing through, you won't be disappointed. Try the Saturday morning breakfast, what a feast!!

SO DISAPPOINTED! We have been going here for years, food is very good.!!! Went there today, St Patrick's Day, and waited over 15 minutes and nobody gave us water, took a drink order or anything. There was only ONE other table and nobody at the bar except other employees. We left and went to Old Mill, served immediately and the had a full house. Nobody from Deer's Leap said a word as we walked out. So sad, they had a really good thing going.

Poor service and bad attitudes. Was having wine with friends. Only 10 people in there. At one point there were no servers around. A friend was wanting ice and got tired ifvwairing so she got it herself. All if a sudden there is a server. He went to her and told her next time ask. She said I would no one was around. He got snotty with her and told her to sit down. Funny after that someone was at the bar. Attitudes are bad. Never again

Long wait and the food was so bad I went to a fast food restaurant for something better.

This venue has undergone an extensive refurbishment. Its a friendly, pleasant location. It does not appear to do food but has sky sports and a pool table.

Great Wine and the staff were Wonderful!

Visited new year's eve.. place was empty.. ordered dinner..I had ribeye steak.. terrible 1/2 of the steak was fat.. server didn't seem to care.. asked him to show the cook.. unfortunately it hit the garbage can as soon as he hit the kitchen.. remember we can see you.. kitchen staff just laughed... NEVER COMING BACK...1st time I've ever given any place 1 ⭐...to Bob the owner...lock the doors

Was just there on Friday and it was terrible!! Service was non existent. Food was gross all the way down to the condiments. Place overall jus looks ran down and filthy. I would not recommend.

Nice place to visit. Good selection of local wine. Fun place to hang out with friends/family. We had a really good experience.

Great place good food good wine and talking birds!

People I took their on a wine tour spent 2hrs their said food was good the enjoyed it

It was okay good wine but the food was just okay

Neat little winery for what it is. A lot of good options for sweet and fruit wines if that is what you like. Not a traditional "sit down and get a flight" but it's fun, just enjoy!

Great selection of wine and beer. Live entertainment. Food was good especially the Yancey Platter. The cheeses and beef stick (local) was delicious. Service was ok, could have been better

Great place to eat. Love the wings!.Great friends and great food.

New Landlady, Great atmosphere. Locals and barstaff very friendly. Very clean, music and sport on tv. Top notch local pub.

Elderberry wine was on point and the food was ok. The bread sticks could of been baked a bit more and check the lettuce for brown spots before serving it

Pretty nice place. Clean and friendly.

The portions of food are huge. The atmosphere is pleasant. The parking is ample. I just wish the band, which was good was a little softer...it was some times difficult to converse.

Me and my girlfriend stopped in while out on a motorcycle ride for a large lunch. We sat at the bar and ordered Sprites to drink. I ordered the Wine Burger, and she got the French Dip with a side salad. The burger had, and I'm not exaggerating, no more than a few drops of the wine sauce. I asked if I could get some on the side and was rudely told it would cost extra, and that they put it on the burger already. So after agreeing to pay more for the sauce that should of been there in the first place, they took so long to even get it I told them to forget it. Also they never gave us any napkins or silverware, and we had to walk to another ta le to grab a silverware set so my gf could eat her salad. The burger was one of those pre formed in the factory type burgers and without the sauce it's usually in it tastes awful. I will not be returning and will steer any family and friends from this dive.

Not so good, prime rib was horrible

Good cheese platter, good wine, great company

Reserved seating for 14 people and we were given 4 individual booths that only seated 4 people. The service was horrible. We waited 30 minutes to even order wine and then another 30 minutes to get it. Will not be returning to this winery.

Good food, good wine, good price. My first time there, but I plan on returning again in the fall to stock up.

They serve beer and liquor, not just wine. Good good, French onion soup is on point. Good atmosphere, chill vibe.

Great dining location! Great food. I wish we had done to try some wine.

Has great prime rib and all their food is really good great wine our waiter Eric was nice
