VINIFERA Geneva doesn’t chase atmosphere—it curates it.

Now fully established as a wine and cocktail bar and lounge, it stands alone as the first and only true speakeasy in the Finger Lakes, delivering the kind of polish, discretion, and edge typically reserved for New York’s most coveted rooms.

The experience plays out across two bars, two moods, one uncompromising standard. Upstairs, the salon bar is all quiet confidence—tailored, elegant, and effortlessly social.

The international wine and spirits program is now live, pouring a tightly edited global selection alongside rare finds, all delivered with sommelier-level precision.

Downstairs, the original underground speakeasy reveals its next chapter. Anchored by a newly built mahogany dark-wood bar, the space seats just ten guests and leans fully into after-hours intimacy. Of course, the Pearl and Blackwell Rooms set the tone—velvet-draped, adorned with gold-gilded art, and designed for conversations that linger well past the last pour.

Low light, rich textures, and cocktails served with confidence rather than commentary.

This is a cocktail program with backbone—classic frameworks, modern execution, zero shortcuts—standing toe-to-toe with New York’s finest. Wine holds equal authority, led by Le Chevalier, VINIFERA New York’s ultra-premium signature line, poured exclusively.

Upstairs buzz or underground hush. Global wines or dialed-in cocktails.

VINIFERA Geneva isn’t inspired by New York’s great bars.
It belongs in their circle—while remaining the Finger Lakes’ only true speakeasy.
