Amanda Gumtow, Tasting Room Manager & Club Coordinator
Having wine her my life from an early age, it seemed a natural fit for Amanda to work at a local winery while attending college. In 1997, her summer winery job quickly became her passion and gave Amanda the basis of her wine knowledge. In May of 2002, Amanda was excited to join the Atwater Team. She loves working at a winery where every day is a new adventure. From interacting with an eclectic mix of people from all over the world in the tasting room to some behind the scenes work on the bottling line, picking grapes, hand waxing wine bottles, managing the case club and refinishing the tasting room floors.
As a passionate outdoor person, Amanda has always loved everything that the Finger Lakes has to offer. The region is always inspiring and changing with the seasons. Being an avid hiker and genuine lover of all things outdoor, she has found her own personal paradise. Amanda's passions for photography, hiking, kayaking and wine go hand in hand in this area.
A Note from Amanda:
"When visiting Atwater I hope you enjoy the ambiance that we have created here with our welcoming, friendly staff, amazing location and of course our extraordinary wine. We take pride in what we make and present to our customers. I hope that you fall in love with Atwater as much as I have and continue to come back time and time again.
The past eighteen years has been an amazing experience. I am excited for the potential of the Finger Lakes wine region and I can’t wait to see how the local wine industry grows in the near future."
