Elfs Farm Winery & Cider House

Stumbled upon Elfs on a hungry afternoon drive from Montreal to Lake Placid. The roadside sign drew us in and I'm so glad it did! Tom was a welcoming + entertaining host -- he had to step away from our conversation a few times to chase birds away from his grapes outside in the vineyard! The cider was great and the food even better. The maple burger + corn fritters are a must and I hope to find out how future iterations of the bean soup come along! Took a bottle of wine for the road + can only hope that we'll have the opportunity to return!

We had the best time here. We’re staying in North Hudson but researched the wineries closest to us, especially on the ADK wine trail and settled on Elf because we loved the whimsical blurb that was written about the winery (don’t threaten me with a magical elf) and we loved that they had an outdoor space and longer hours. We got rained out and sat at the bar, but couldn’t have had a better time. You can’t go wrong with a thing on the menu and Sean was the perfect host- a wealth of knowledge and gem to pass the time with. We were enamored by the wines and the company and can’t wait to come back.

The owner is wonderful, and the food is delicious.

It's rare to find an owner as particular about his food and wine and it makes a world of difference. From triple filtering the water for wine to using grass-fed beef for the burgers, the details make the experience incredible. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

Very unique place! Has a great indoor or outdoor dining area. They have a good selection of homemade wines and ciders. I have a great time every time I go there.

Elfs Farm Winery & Cider is so much more. They strive to use all local goods. Came here for Father's Day Brunch (which they serve every Sunday). The service, the food, the beverages, and the ambiance are all amazing!!!! I love this family business. How welcoming this experience has been. Thank you Thank you Thank you!! Happy Father's Day Tom you and your family are a blessing!!!
