Where Is Goose Watch Winery Located and How Do I Get There?

Goose Watch Winery is at 5480 Route 89, Romulus, NY 14541, on the shore of Cayuga Lake in the heart of the Finger Lakes. You can reach it by car on Route 89 — about 10 miles south of Seneca Falls or 35 miles north of Ithaca — or by boat using the coordinates N 42° 45.31, W 076° 46.19. The winery is currently open daily, and groups of 8 or fewer do not need a reservation for a seated tasting.

Driving Directions

Route 89 runs along the western shore of Cayuga Lake, and the winery sits directly on that road. Two practical reference points:

If you are coming from either town, staying on Route 89 keeps you on the lakeside road the whole way; there is no need to leave it for a separate access road.

Arriving by Boat

Boaters can use the published coordinates to locate the winery from the water:

• Latitude: N 42° 45.31
• Longitude: W 076° 46.19

Enter these into your chartplotter or navigation app before setting out, since the winery's lakeside setting means a water approach is a real option rather than a detour.

What to Expect When You Arrive

Tastings are relaxed and casual, and seated. Depending on the weather, you will be seated either on the deck overlooking Cayuga Lake or inside the restored tasting room. No reservation is needed for groups of 8 or less.

If your group is larger than 8, call ahead at 315-549-2599 to arrange a reservation. The same number is the contact for any other questions before your visit.

Common Pitfalls

• Group size: The no-reservation rule applies only to groups of 8 or less; larger parties should call first rather than arriving unannounced.
• Weather-dependent seating: Deck seating depends on conditions, so plan for the tasting room as the fallback.
• Boat navigation: Use the coordinates rather than a street address when approaching from the lake.

For updates on sales and events before you go, the winery also offers a monthly newsletter you can subscribe to from its site.
