Beautiful setting

Jessica Lewis

By far the best wine tasting we've had! The flavors were just right and staff was very friendly.

Henry J. Herriott

Loved the experience. The people was very friendly. I don't even drink wine and bought a bottle.

Palmer Brian

One of the best places in Clayton to enjoy the day! Take the whole family. Let's the kids run and play, while enjoying a glass of wine or a wine slushy. On Sunday check out the flea market. Can't miss out on Tony's Food Shack for some killer food to go with the wine.

Jessica Mencher

Best winery in area by far! Delicious wines!

We recently visited the actual winery (we had only been to the one in the mall) and I have to say i don't think we will go back. I love wine and there is a certain ambiance that I prefer when visiting and tasting. I found the staff to be quite cold, rushing us through the tasting and we only got 2 samples. I do not like the wine, I did enjoy the Fireboat red but after exploring more wines in the area I found that THOUSAND ISLANDS WINERY is the absolute BEST! Visiting Coyote moon was like walking into a gift shop/bar. Thousand islands on the other hand is gorgeous as your parking you can see the vineyard and so pleasing to the eye on the inside the set up is nice and there is a clear display of the bottles and prices and for $5 you can taste 10 wines to find the perfect one and you get a free glass. Coyote moon I believe charges $4 for 6 and it's not pleasant their wine slushes are pretty expensive too (not worth the price to me, taste wise) With all things considered if you're just getting into wine Coyote moon may the place for you but if you're more into finding that perfect bottle I HIGHLY recommend thousand islands winery and I have to say that is our go to place and when we move they even ship to our next state and Coyote moon does not. North country red is our favorite from TIW and the German semi dry white (can't spell it) even more they are Veteran owned! ???????? ETA: I am registered as a local guide but for some reason google is not showing that so I do apologize for that

What a great winery! We visited in June 2015, while on break when we were performing at the 1000 Islands Bluegrass Festival. The people were wonderful, the tastings were instructive and helpful, and all of us went home with wine and salsa (to die for!!) and jam. We'll definitely come back and I'm re-ordering more goodies today. Jan Hudson The Fossil Creek Band;

My go-to place to relax, have fun, or "just because".

Friendly staff, great service

We used Coyote Moon for our wedding and the location was beautiful. The tent for the reception was great and I'm so happy that all of the tables and chairs were included. There were even yard games that kept the kids and some of the guests occupied if they didn't want to dance. The staff was very helpful the night before and the day of as we began setting up as they helped me choose wine for the guests since I had never tasted their unique flavors. The reason for the 3 stars is that it was awful trying to communicate with them leading up to my big day. As a bride, (being the one planning my wedding), I had a lot of questions that would come up that I needed to ask the venue. Coyote Moon did have a wedding coordinator for me but she was impossible to get in touch with via phone or e-mail and unfortunately none of the other staff had answers to my questions. By the time they assigned a new coordinator to me, there was only a week left until my wedding. It was a little frustrating at first but we really did enjoy the vineyard on our wedding day.

My wife and I had a very enjoyable time on a dreary day. Enjoyed the wines we tasted at the tasting bar and really liked our time with the hostess. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Would go back when in the area again. Thank you for brightening up our day.

Lourdes Snyder

Is the best wine I try .????????????

Best ambience, wine, slushies, experience EVER!!!!

Steve Hopkins

Went to the Thousand Islands to tour wineries and this one had two locations and we loved it.

Vani Ananthuni

I’m not someone who’d give such bad rating but my experience was such. We went for wine tasting on an evening & fell horribly sick right after. The lady serving us said one of the wines has been opened quite a while ago and someone forgot to put a date on it but she tasted & said it didn’t yet go bad. I’m not sure if that’s the reason but they have served us wines that were dated a few days ago. These literally had no sparkling left in them. Just plain drinks. These wines are not the expensive ones, most of them cost between $10-$15. I don’t think they should be serving the same wine even the next day. It left us with really bad stomach. And not to forget that one person was handling 3 different groups & she kept rushing with minimal talking, not to forget - she said i don’t make it so I don’t feel bad if you don’t like it instead of suggesting us other ones - we didn’t enjoy the tasting experience either. I wouldn’t go there ever again.

Brandy Sharlow

Service was great ????

Tim Stafford

Best winery in the country

Hiral Patel

Beautiful experience wine tasting! Ryan was very helpful and informative in terms of how the wine making process works!

Melissa Sunflower

Lori is an amazing employee and deserves recognition. She answered my email about my daughter needing wine corks for a project. She let the other ladies know she's collecting the corks and kept them in a safe spot. Lori, thank again for helping us out. As for the winery, fireboat red is my absolute favorite sweet wine. They also have a variety of other delicious wines. When you drive out to Clayton, you'll find the winery in a quiet country spot. There are areas to sit outside with flowers all around to enjoy a glass of wine. Wine tastings are inside and nicely air-conditioned. Its a beautiful spot to relax.

Mihir Yerande

Nice variety of wines to try, served by very pleasant staff

Heather Tomlinson

Always one of my favorite places in the islands

Josiah Dunning

Stopped in while on vacation after a neighbor highly recommended this winery. I don't remember the name of the woman at the counter but she was very friendly and willing to help find the perfect wine. After trying a few different options I couldn't walk away without purchasing their fantastic wine. I will definitely stop back in when my supply runs low.

Rob Premo

Always an amazing time. Best wine slushies ever!!

Cynthia Iabone

Not only did we do a wine tasting (bought a case too) but they are also a member of Harvest Host and camped in our motorhome for the night. The hosts are very nice and had a great experience with them...I have a few favorites of their wine but my number 1 is their River Run!

James Perry

Coyote Moon completes with best vineyards in the US and win on a regular basis. My wife's and my tastes run to sweeter side, like the Fireboat Red, River Time, Fireboat White, River Time Rose and others. But their wines cover all tastes. On a summer's day there is nothing better than a wine slushy (an adult popsicle in a glass) and Coyote Moon has a variety of excellent ones. While there is nothing better than enjoying a glass of wine, a beer or wine slushy on the deck of Coyote Moon's river location in Clayton, you can also buy Coyote Moon at several liquor stores and wine shops for your next backyard picnic or Bar-B- Que. Coyote Moon also sponsors wine cruise on the St Lawerence River, your ticket includes a bottle of your favorite Coyote Moon wine. It is a nice two hour cruise, with cheese and crackers. your favorite companion (s) and some good tunes. If you like wine, you should check out Coyote Moon.

A fun place to go on Sunday where a flea market is set up with lots of crafts and some misc items to look at and buy. Also, they have a food wagon and wine tasting.

Joanne Dorofy

My husband and I were at Coyote Moon earlier this week and had a wonderful time. Vanessa was taking care of our tasting but ALL the girls were very friendly and the wine was very good! Something for everyone's taste. Don't miss it if you're in the area. ????

Julie Knapp

Awesome Chicken Gyro

Joseph Saccomanno

Corona has reduced the traffic here. No tastings but the wine slushies are great. So is the food from Tony's food shack. Hopefully they can fully open soon.

Sharon Bishop

Music and a relaxing night out.

Joshua Curry

Ruby was super accommodating! She helped us get a photo together out by the vineyard, and she paid attention to our comments on the wines to make helpful suggestions about other wines we might enjoy.

Joseph Demeis

A great winery with even better wine's. The staff is outstanding ☺️.

Dustin Clark

Now that's some wine .. They got it all from from sweet to dry to ice... Folks there are friendly and sweet good joke great knowledge of the grapes and area surrounding. They also have some of the best tasting box snacks around.

Extremely engaging staff.

Beautiful operation, very classy.

Tim Di

Amazing.

Rich 2992

Very rude people for their Harvest Festival. Arguing with us to pay admission when we are just coming to buy bottles of wine to the winery. That’s fine if you want to lose business, you just did. We will take our business to 1000 Islands Winery. Inexcusable behavior

Julie Caler

Great Vineyard.... very nice people!

Allyn Hinds

Great place, Great wine, friendly folks!!

Shannon Lopez

I stopped at the booth set up at the Cheese Festival today in Lowville, NY. I asked if I could sample a wine and the woman working the booth was very rude to me and said wait because she had to take care of someone else who wasn't ready to make a decision on what they wanted to try! She also was rude to other people that were walking up to the booth! I don't understand why! I did finally try a wine and thought it was great! i went to another wine booth and the workers were very nice and helpful when I asked questions! I just hope that Coyote Moon Vineyards aren't all judgmental!

Adam Fisher

Friendly staff willing to help you find the perfect wine for your tastes. Great tasting wine!

Zachary Van Natta

My wife's favorite wine. We first bought it in Niagara Falls. She loved it so much we looked it up, and turns out the winery was about 30 min away.

Katie Fosheim

A group of 5 friends and myself enjoyed a wonderful afternoon at Coyote Moon tasting their awesome wines. Chelsey was very welcoming and took the time to show us around the winery and tell us stories about how the winery got started and inspiration for the wine and art around the place. CHELSEY ROCKS! They even let us roam around the campus and check out the grapes ourselves and hang out on their porch overlooking their personal pond. Great afternoon and you have to try the Marquette Reserve. New favorite wine!

Marlene Randazzo

Love the wine &love the staff!

Jenny Wright

What a delightful place, and experience. To sip a wine slushie, while eating great food, is an absolute treasure towards the last day of September. I love this place and with each passing year, it gets better and better.

Stephanie Cornell

Quick stop for wine for the coming year! Great staff and friendly service

Joyce Zachmeyer

Love this great cheerful people working there and they have an awesome selection of wines

Carol Lamson

Did not feel welcome..wont be back

Penny Thomas

Great variety. Girls very knowledgeable about the wine. So may good ones, hard to pick.

Janet Calangelo

Went while on a family visit, pre ordered a case of Fireboat Red as I knew I wanted that from receiving as gifts. When we went to pick it up and decided to sample ones we never tried. Our server Cara was beyond amazing! She knew all the wines and explained them to us with such enthusiasm. Enjoyed it so much, I bought a second case of variety of wines and some gift items. Will definitely be back.

Jeremiah Maxon

We've been to several functions at Coyote Moon Vineyards both on County Route 3 and downtown along the river in Clayton. They do a phenomenal job. Even with huge crowds at the 2018 Easter Egg Hunt, our kids had a great time. The "Roaring '20s" wine club party was a blast. The wine is great, the staff is amazing, and the owners make you feel like you're part of the family!

Ted Burrows

Cayla was awesome and very accommodating as well as the other staff.Pleasant and very welcoming and very very clean.Will return.

Patrick Hillanbrand

Service and wine was great

Cody Wade

They have freezer pops for kids along with games while the parents drink.

Jennifer Fitch

The tasting experience here is great, they made it very comfortable, no rushing, lots of tastings for a cheap amount, along with a snack box. Was a very enjoyable experience.

Jeff Boutin

I went in for the first time on the weekend and Ashley was just so friendly and helpful. I am very picky with my wines but she helped me find the perfect one for me. I really like how you can do a little taste test. great wine great service. I will be returning next visit, thanks Sherrie
