Chateau Buffalo, Buffalo’s urban winery specializing in wines and craft hard ciders made with locally grown grapes and fruits, has opened in Buffalo’s Niagara Frontier Food Terminal in the city’s Clinton-Bailey market area. The 3,500-square-foot facility is used for both retail sales and production, according to owner Carl Schmitter. 

Located at 175 Niagara Frontier Food Terminal (1500 Clinton St.), the beautifully renovated winery and retail store occupies previously vacant space in the historic food terminal dating back to the early 1930s. Store hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, and by appointment.

Following a very successful soft opening at their spacious new location at 4557 Main St. in Snyder, Farmers & Artisans will host a grand opening celebration from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 4. Guests will have an opportunity to meet several local food producers and sample many of their products during the day-long event.

A local food market and artisan bakery, Farmers & Artisans was previously located at 78 East Spring St. in Williamsville. The new location places even greater focus on local and sustainable food products provided by smaller producers and growers, according to owner Julie Blackman. Blackman’s family also owns Blackman Homestead Farm in Lockport.
