Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards might just be my favorite winery ever. If you love sweet, fruity wines that go down a little too easy, this place is absolutely your playground. I tried the Pink Cat and Red Cat - both iconic, both delicious. Ended up walking out with a bottle of Red Cat and was dangerously close to caving for the 4-bottle tote bag deal. My girlfriend wasn't as into it (she thought it was too sweet), but I was thriving. The winery has been family-owned and operated since 1985, but the land itself has been in the Hazlitt family for over 160 years (hence the 1852). They were one of the key players in making the Finger Lakes wine scene what it is today. Popcorn at the tasting bar, great energy, friendly staff, and dangerously drinkable wine. Sweet wine lovers: this is your holy grail.

Red Cat is where it's at! This was one of my favorites in the area, nice tasting room, great service and their wine was one of the best that I had in the area! Nice shop above tasting room with not only wine, but wine related items, cups, glasses, brand merch, snacks. you won't be disappointed if you stop here.

We did a wine tasting with Ann and she was great! Very informative and easy to chat with. The wine was also great.

This winery is a must try if you are in the Finger Lakes. For 10 dollars you can try a flight of wines that can be either on the sweet or dry side. They also gave a poker chip to be redeemed for discounts on the wine shop. It is nice that you don't have to stick with one side of the menu. The Hazlitt Red Cat Wine was delicious to drink (that was definitely my top wine on the menu). They had popcorn that was freshly made for each sitting area (this was really nice). The guy who chatted about the different wines we were trying out was pretty knowledgeable. He even gave us his opinion of wineries in the area we might like. He gave us options to try more than what was on the tasting menu based on our interests in wine as well.

Beautiful scenery with a friendly, local vibe. It seemed everyone knew each other and it was comforting and warm. A music group performed while everyone enjoyed wines of their choosing. I tried samples of their red cat, pink cat, and brambleberry wine slushies. I found brambleberry the tastiest and got a mix of the pink cat-brambleberry slushie per the bartenders recommendation. I wish the slushies tasted more similar to the actual wine. For instance, I preferred the actual red cat wine over the red cat slushie; I found it odd how kool aid is apparently in that slushie. The red cat slushie had a more cherry taste which I am not the biggest fan of. I also tried their sweet Riesling which was just okay, I've had better. The vineyard overall was nice and had great scenery. I just had higher expectations regarding the wine slushies. The red cat wine itself was my favorite.

Our post-Thanksgiving family day out included a stop at Hazlitt. I loved the rustic warmth of the décor and the wonderful staff who accommodated our tastings. The popcorn was a delicious accompaniment to the variety of wines, and I was a fan of everything I tried - the dry riesling and rose were my favorites! Because it was Black Friday, our gift store purchases were 25% off! I walked away with some nice Christmas wines for the in-laws and an ornament for my tree to commemorate our visit. It was a pretty dreary day, but I'd be keen to come back to Hazlitt when the weather is nice. There are beautiful views of the lake and lots of outdoor seating.

Great times!! Thank you!!

I've been in this vineyard many times. This time with 5 others on an untraditional batchlorette party. Pete, our wine guru, explained a lot about the wine, was a great listener and conversation partner. We were 6 people in our bridal party. We had a great time!!! Thanks to Pete!! Great wines, too. We found wine for each person in our party... so there's wine for everyone. We bought a bunch. If you haven't visited Hazlitt, you just gotta!!

Really nice wines and super friendly staff. Wish I lived closer so I could come here more often. And they have some very good dry wines... it's not just sweet wines.

Breakfast of champions. Cab franc with a sammy.

Hazlitt is one of my favorite places. We stopped here on a Saturday in August for a bachelorette party. We didn't wine taste, we hung out at The Oasis, which is a really cool seasonal place across the parking lot from the winery. We arrived at 10am, ready to take on the day. I had a glass of the cab franc, which I really like at Hazlitt. This was the perfect pick to start the day. They also had a space set up to make breakfast sandwiches. Who can resist a good bacon and egg sandwich with a glass of red in the morning? I certainly can't, and didn't. You only live once. Enjoy the ride. My friends got wine slushies, but I'm not into those. They give you a glass with the wine at The Oasis and you get to bring the glass back forever for $1 off. The slushies come in a plastic cup with a reusable straw that you get to keep and bring back for $1 off the slushies. There are various games at The Oasis, other food items too. This is the perfect spot to hang out with a group, or by yourself. There is also a great koi pond, fire pit, and indoor space. The bathrooms are pretty great too.

We came here for the wine slushi and left with bottles. The servers were so nice I'm a klutz and dropped the popcorn which became a joke the whole time. We even instantly made friends with others tasting. I wanted in and it felt like we had all known each other for years. The decor is so cute. They have taxidermy, arrowheads and walls covered in pieces. I absolutely loved this place.

They give free popcorn with the tasting and definitely try the Bramble berry which pairs with dark chocolate.

I want to like Red Newt Cellars but it's just not my vibe. The rv resort I stay at while in the…read moreFinger Lakes Region is within walking distance. Last year, Red Newt offered RV guests a buy one get one "tasting"... which I found out is not the same as a "flight". The serve told me I could try again. I love this region and gave Red Newt another try this year. Stood at the bar for the wine "tasting". I would have liked to sit and hang out for a while but the atmosphere inside was all business. Between the hard sell to purchase bottles after the tasting to the managers doing work on their lab tops at guest tables. I didn't feel I could unwind here.

We booked a lunch and wine tasting at Red Newt during a visit in the off season…read more Our first visit to RNC was last summer while camping at the Finger Lakes RV Resort. During that visit we sampled some good wines, so we knew we wanted to try it again. On this visit the service was very prompt and the place was not busy on this visit compared to the summer. During our initial visit the employee at the tasting counter first seemed annoyed that we wanted to taste wine an hour before they closed (The attitude improved when we said we were buying a couple cases).  The view is amazing from the large deck and dining area. One could sit on the deck and sip vino all afternoon. As with many wineries on the Finger Lakes their wines tend to lean to the less dry/sweeter side, but we did find some very tasty medium reds and red blends. The lunch offerings were simple, but very delicious. They offer a variety of sandwiches, burgers, and shareable items. One thing that stood out was their Hellbender-balsamic onion jam that they make inhouse. It was so tasty that my wife inquired about purchasing some to take home.  We look forward to returning at our next stay at the RV Resort.

We did not have a reservation, but easily found ourselves a spot at the bar. It was a pretty rainy and crummy day, but even though a few other couples had the same idea as us to hit a winery to avoid the rain, we did not feel crowded in the space at all. The winery is certainly one of the most well decorated spots we visited. They really lean into the barnstormer and plane vibes, with appropriate decor in every facet of the interior. It was very tastefully done and gave the winery a certain fun and unique vibe. We were seated at the bar for our tasting. The bar was quite large, holding a number of different couples but giving us all adequate space to spread out, have a few glasses in front of us, and not cloud the others' conversations. You could chose from a few different preselected tastings, and I opted for a mixed red and white tasting while my husband opted for the all red tasting. My husband enjoyed all of his, particularly liking the merlot. I enjoyed the whites in my tasting more than the red (I had a weird after taste from one of them which tainted the red experience for me), favoring the chardonnay of all things (I am not a chard gal). We appreciated how our server engaged with us, telling us a bit about each wine but also navigating hte entire bar without lingering too long in one place. She answered our many questions about the wine, being knowledgable but also approachable. We had a great time and enjoyed our wines. Barnstormer was a great rec from our various servers etc while in the Finger Lakes - while the wines themselves may not be at my top, the vibe and service did stand out. That being said, we did take a bottle home with us, so I'm looking forward to enjoying that on a special occasion!
