About Heart & Hands Wine Company

Heart & Hands Wine Company is a small, family-owned winery located on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes region of New York. Founded by Tom and Susan Higgins, the winery is dedicated to producing world-class Pinot Noir and Riesling that authentically express the unique terroir of the Finger Lakes AVA. Tom Higgins brings decades of winemaking experience and a passionate commitment to minimalist, terroir-driven winemaking that lets the land speak for itself.

The winery takes its name from the belief that great wine is made through a combination of the heart — passion, dedication, and love for the craft — and hands — the skilled, artisanal work in both the vineyard and the cellar. Every wine produced at Heart & Hands is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, from hand-harvesting the fruit to gentle handling in the cellar, resulting in wines of elegance, complexity, and a true sense of place.

Heart & Hands welcomes visitors to their tasting room overlooking Cayuga Lake, where guests can explore their portfolio of estate and single-vineyard wines. The winery has earned a reputation as one of the Finger Lakes' most celebrated producers, with wines that have garnered national and international acclaim. Their commitment to sustainable farming and small-production winemaking ensures that each bottle reflects the very best of what the Finger Lakes has to offer.
