Located in the heart of Hector, Tango Oaks Vineyard is a metaphorical market square nestled along southeast Seneca Lake.  Meandering gravelly farm roads guide you through a multitude of scents and scenery, from fields of flowers to canopies of cherries, from peach and pear orchards to abundant apple trees, culminating in vast rows of grapevines soaking in a grand lakeside vista.  

Owing to the loamy shale soils and the array of cultivated bounty in its realm, Tango is a chameleon, one that imbibes and emanates its surroundings.  If there is a want to define itself within a style, it certainly hasn’t proven this to us yet.  From first leaf to fourth harvest, we have come to appreciate Tango for its playfulness that keeps us on our toes.  Companionship for this wine requires openness, deserving someone who will walk through the seasons of change and bloom with an affinity for nature’s craftsmanship.
