We had a nice time at Redneck Winery (we visited both tasting rooms - one for wine and one for Mead and Ciders). The mead is super sweet (duh, it's honey wine) but we enjoyed the Warthog Ciders. No food served here so know that before you go. A flight of 5 teeny (less than an ounce) tastes was $12. Would come here again but stick to ciders only - no meads and no wines. read more

What a place! A meadery and winery are both amazing. Staff was amazing and super friendly! Wine list was extensive and great options for everyone. They have honey sticks and everything was great! First time trying mead in this group! read more

Visiting for the Seneca lake, wine and chocolate tour. This location did not have any food or drink items for designated drivers or anyone. Obtained our proof of visit. read more

Worthog Cider! I went here for the sole purpose of purchasing some cider based off of a tasting of the award-winning Cherry at a relative's house. I didn't realize they had other flavors, too! They are ALL good. To get to the store to purchase, from the main parking lot take the sidewalk all of the way to the left and enter under the Earle Estates Meadery sign. There's blueberry, ginger, cherry, strawberry...so many to choose from so I bought them all and am enjoying them over time. The store also had some local items and had real honeybees making honey right in the store! read more

Nice facility, and our tasting server was nice, but the wines were simply not to our taste -- too sweet or, to the extent the sweetness was restrained, very shallow in flavor. The adjoining Earle Estates Meadery was a better match. read more

Loved this place. We went home with a few selections of their wine. Wine flights were delicious along with the wine slushy flights. Good environment and our server was super friendly. read more

Each time we come back to North Tonawanda/Buffalo . We make it a part of our stops. Two different types of wines on each side. Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. Too bad they do not ship to Illinois yet. So, we left with 4 cases of wines total! there are many wineries out here in the Finger Lakes area we have tried them. Torrey Ridge is the best!! Scenery it beyond words. CHEERS read more

This is another awesome winery in the Finger Lakes. The building looks like a governor's mansion. The inside is also pretty cool with chandeliers. In terms of the wine tasting, their wines are definitely on the sweeter side, which is usually not my forte. But I did enjoy most of them, to my surprise. They are known for their mead, which I was not very knowledgeable of until my tasting. They are fermented with honey, yeast, and water. And mead was apparently loved by the Vikings and the Greeks, the latter referred to them as the "nectar of the gods." I tried their Twinkle mead, which was a little too sweet for my taste but not bad. My favorites from their specialty blends were the Strawberry Shadows and the Raspberry Reflections. read more

We almost turned around when we entered, unsure of what to expect from a place that has "redneck" plastered all over their building. We were fully prepared for the music to stop when we entered and for whatever horrible experience that would follow such a decision. Anyway, none of that happened and it actually turned out to be one of our favorite visits of the day. We randomly stopped in for an impromptu visit while driving by the vineyard. At first sight, their building stands out for two reasons, one being the actual large structure and second the redneck wines sign posted near the road. Upon entering you will see a pretty space with a selection of wines and the tasting bar located on the right hand side. For groups, there is also a bar located upstairs. On the downstairs tasting area, they keep all of their wines in coolers (really weird) I'm not sure why a place of this size doesn't have a better or more organize system worked out than coolers. Clearly it takes a toll on the employees constantly bending over and running from cooler to cooler to try and find 6 or more wines for each visitor. For this reason alone, I'm withholding a star. It was quite busy on this Saturday afternoon, so it took awhile before we were able to find a space along the bar. The tasting is $5pp for a selection six different wines. One major difference which merits a higher rating was the kindness, attentiveness and the willingness of the staff to assist. They were clearly understaffed and overworked, but super friendly. They gave us several extra pours and a double tasting for one wine in order to, "finish off the bottle." In other words, they were quite generous and for this we will be returning and I'm a fan of the overall product and experience. The star of the show is clearly their redneck line of wines. Yes the wines are overly sweet, but what would one expect from a winery that sells a line of wines with "Redneck" in the title? They have a small selection of dry, but the vast majority are super sweet and almost taste like cocktails. Torrey Ridge Winery clearly knows their customer base and I'm guessing that it isn't necessarily the most sophisticated wine drinker. Instead their wines are like cocktails or wine coolers, similar to an Arbor Mist, minus the excessive food coloring, with a slightly higher alcohol content. I personally think that many of their wines were great. Definitely a fun bottle to bring along for a gathering with the friends. read more

I'm not sure why this is known as the "redneck" winery. It looks very classy from outside and the inside isn't "redneck" at all. I wasn't a fan of the wines here, unfortunately. But I did enjoy the ciders at the meadery next door. The service here wasn't that great either. The girls that poured the wine seemed to have no interest in talking with you and seemed bored when explaining what you were being poured next. Very underwhelmed. read more

On August 13th, Torrey Ridge Winery hosted our annual MINIs at The GLEN meetup. The staff was great...the Wine, Meade and Cider were great...everyone was very helpful, particularly when we showed up in huge numbers...over 250 cars between 10 AM and Noon. We always have a great time here and we'll be back next year. They're the best hosts around. If you have to entertain a huge group...this is the place. We've parked close to 400 cars here with no problem. Everybody has a good time when we come here. read more

Many wines to choose from This place is HUGE.. They have redneck wines and let me tell you it attracts the rednecks. I'm not trying to be discriminated but the crowd that was in there surprised me. I'm not sure if that's the approach that they are seeking. The wines to me were ok. Nothing jumped out at me. My wife got a couple of bottles here. read more

The only good thing about this winery was the fact that the balcony was open. Other than that...staff never smiled or described the wines we would be tasting, wines were pre-poured & had no flavor, and no air conditioning. The house wines were awful. Would not go back. Sorry, Torrey Ridge, but you've got to do better to compete with the others. read more

Torrey Ridge is a beautiful winery with a lovely interior and tasting bar. They have a lot of different wines, fruit wines, and other spirits to try and they're linked with their redneck line of wines, warthog cidery, and a meadery next door! Our tasting left a lot to be desired, the staff member working with us left me feeling rushed and almost like I was a bother to her. I like to hear about and learn about the different wines I am trying. Before seconds had passed my glass was taken and refilled with something else before I had a chance to really process what I had just tried. I did end up purchasing a bottle of their semi-sweet Niagara wine which was pretty good. I think this place could have received a much higher review from me and have been a better experience, but it frustrated me the way we were treated during our tasting. I like the experience of spending time in a beautiful place, talking about the wine, and learning about what goes into it etc. That's the point of wine tasting! So advice, slow it down and give your customers their due time, they'll likely buy more that way and come back more often! read more

Very beautiful space and location. Service could be a lot better. The employee rushed by and didn't give much attention to me. I did very much enjoy the wine selection. Ended up buying a nice bottle but still wish there was something more to my experience. Did enjoy the oyster crackers between my tastings. Outside is very cute. read more

Tried the wine, cider, and mead and almost none of it was good. Nice and airy inside with pretty good merch, but couldn't make up for the lackluster tastings. read more

Went here with a group of girlfriends and we had an AMAZING time! The staff was so sweet and they had a great assortment of wines. This was my favorite winery that we visited! HIGHLY recommend. read more

Do not go here. Of all the wineries around this is the worst I've experienced. Terrible staff, extremely rude. Absolutely the worst experience I have ever had at a winery. DO BETTER read more

Well, we were severely scolded for having alcohol with us that was not purchased there which I get. They have a lovely outdoor sitting area but I don't believe they want anyone to sit there. The approach by Paul was so over the top rude. They will sell you a bottle of wine but it's their policy not to pull the cork for you. So I can buy it but you won't open it so I can sit outside and drink it. Ok? We were there for the music anyway. Won't ever darken their door! read more

We were on a wine tour and we knew we had to stop in and check out the Redneck Wines and maybe get a few with crazy labels as silly Christmas gifts. Much to our disappointment, the wines were very bland and almost tasted watered-down. The staff were very kind and the wines were very fun and goofy, but they just didn't taste good. There were plenty of wineries that were much, much better in the area and I wouldn't waste my time here if I was planning a wine trip around Lake Seneca. read more

I guess I am not a sophisticated wine drinker...and if you're not, we will relate. I steer clear of dry wines, I don't do bitter very well, and so this is my winery of choice. They have a wonderful selection of palate pleasing sweet sippers that make me smile. My personal favorite is the Niagara wine that my husband and I enjoy as a tradition on Christmas Eve (and have for about the past decade). We took another visit up recently over the Fourth of July holiday week, and discovered a new and fun variety to choose from and ended up bringing home 8 sweet bottles to enjoy. The attendant took care of us, and then our teens (that had to be brought with us), were kindly given free samples of their cider. This free sample had the desired effect as they ended up buying three bottles themselves with their vacation money. lol If you enjoy a sweet variety of wine, or never thought you liked wine because you prefer girlie fru-fru drinks (like me), I suggest you hit the right side of this tasting menu before you discount wine from your life. read more

Love this winery. Great service, the wines are delicious, the staff is so friendly and you are able to make reservation of up to 25 people!!! 10 out 10 would recommend. read more

Not sure why this place has such bad reviews. It was one of my favorites from my wine tasting adventure. Niagara was my favorite, and they give you a coupon for $3 off a bottle of wine if you do a wine tasting. They have a cute little set up, and some of the best souvenir/trinkets you can purchase! read more

Medium size winery with a large tasting room upstairs. It wasn't as packed as the others so we were able to slide right in, which was nice. It was $2 for a tasting of 6 wines. The chick leading the wine tasting wasn't necessarily the most enthusiastic person, but wasn't horrible by any means. Just didn't give a lot of facts like the other wineries did. The winery seems to be known for their honey wines, which I thought was a very cool concept. That being said, I thought I'd like it, but a lot of the options ended up being just too sweet for me. But, I did find two I thought were okay.... I really liked the Cherry Charisma, which is 30% cherry 70% honey. It was a nice touch to offer tiny chocolate chips with the drink, which they said you should sip, chip, sip. So in doing that you really get a nice taste of cherry and chocolate together. I also thought the Twinkle, with 100% honey wine and a bit of carbonation, was good. Just a bit too sweet for my palate. And, on to the next one... read more

I am stunned at the ratings here. These guys have the absolute best wine, best humor, and best staff of any of the wineries on the lake! I come back twice a year for a case for myself, and for friends in Maryland! That doesn't include any visits in between! Every time I arrive I only meet great people that are willing to dive in to help me fill my boxes and always have help carrying them out to my car. And super bonus: Their member card never expires!! I brought it with me thinking I might get a discount towards buying the new member card, but the cashier let me know it doesn't expire. You guys rock and don't let anyone tell you different! I buy the Redneck wines up and share it all so fast that I have to get back to buy more. I have so many people addicted to Redneck wine, the liquor stores around me had to start carrying the Redneck White and Red because we kept asking for it!! Now if only I could get them to carry the cousins.... read more

Horrible staff and service and the wine was not that great either. Do not recommend coming here for a good time or good wine

Disappointed. The brunette with glasses was an absolute RUDE awful employee. She attacked a group member accusing that she broke a toilet when my friend was the honest person to let you know about it.... Very disappointed with the treatment of your customers when they were trying to do the right thing. I don't recommend this place. Brunette with glasses... so rude... I don't even have enough respect to remember her name... wow... very disappointed in your etiquette and treatment of honest customers. Do better. read more

Amazing experience! Bachelorette weekend, we did 2 tastings and everyone was so polite and accommodating during COVID. Amazing wine slushees, honey wine, and ciders, tons of seating outdoors with a beautiful view. read more

Our friend set up a wine tasting for a large group and I truly enjoyed this place. We were able to get a secluded area just for our large party and we had fun trying their different wines. I purchased 4 out of the 6 we tried so this definitely is a good place to come back to. read more

Unfortunately I cannot provide a review of the actual wine because there was mass confusion upon entering the venue due to crowding, so my party of 8 wandered upstairs. Once upstairs, after about 10 minutes of waiting, we were rudely asked if we were told to walk upstairs - which of course, we were not told to do anything upon entering establishment... and we were scolded to go downstairs. Therefore, we burned out of the inhospitable redneck quarters to find a more welcoming venue. Sincerely, wine connoisseur from the south. read more

DONT SMELL THE WINE!! Smelled like skunk. Also tasted as bad as it smelled. The teenager giving us our tasting actually advised us not to smell it. Who does that?? Please save your time and go else where. So many other beautiful wineries on Seneca lake read more

We visit Seneca lake every year and Torrey Ridge is no different. Every year we typically ally buy almost a case of wine but this year was very different. We visited last weekend and had a not so great experience. I understand with COVID many things are different but I don't think they have a good system in place at all. Other wineries on the lake had great systems in place and ran smoothly but not here. We paid for our tasting and was told to sit outside and it would be brought to us. Someone brought out what seemed to me 70 little cups and we were asked what tasting we did and then were our tiny cups in front of us with literally no clue what was in front of us or what we tasted. No one came back around for 20 minutes for me to ask so we left and bought nothing. I think the wines are good but the system is not working. read more

Do not waste your time!!! Zero stars!!! Service is god awful- been twice now without even a "hello, we will be right with you" ended up walking out. At least acknowledge your customers- nothing worse than rude staff and watered down wine- blah read more

First off, I recommend to not go to a winery where you are told to not smell the wine. Unless you want your wine to smell foul, I highly do not recommend this place. :) read more

Our whole wine tasting experience was spent listening to a middle aged female employee complaining because to many people were coming in to spend money at YOUR PLACE! Over and over complaining to another employee that another bus was pulling up. Maybe she should rethink working in the service industry and maybe management should revisit who they employ. We come to the finger lakes yearly for the past 15 years and visit numerous wineries this one is by far the worst and we will never return. read more

The wine was wonderful, service had alot to be desired. Our group (on time) was rushed through our tasting to make room for the group of 45 that was late. read more

We are a group of couples / friends in our late 30's and 40's planned a trip to stay on Lake Keuka, rent a limo bus and tour tour the Seneca Wineries on 10/22. Two weeks prior to our event, I planned out itinerary, scouting the net for which wineries we would like and to make reservations (we are a group of 11) at the ones who require it. Torrey Ridge and Earle are sister wineries occupying the same building. I could not find any requirements for reservations on their website, but did see a note on the Finger Lakes Tourism website that indicated reservations were required at Torrey for groups of 12 or more. Being that we were under that limit, I did not need to call, however, being the planner that I was, I did pre-call the wineries on our itinerary to ensure we would have a smooth trip. When I called Torrey the day before our arrival, at 3:36PM, no one answered the phone. I called back at 3:38PM to ensure that I did call the right number and again, no one answered. When we arrived at 11:15AM on 10/22 we were rudely greeted at the door by an older woman asking if we had a reservation. The members referred her to me and I told her that we did not need them, as there were only 11 and I did call. She immediately (and quite rudely) said that we could not come in and that we aren't the first group she turned away today. I tried explaining I did call and she called me a liar, saying that she always answers the phone and there is no way I called. What type of business turns away responsible, adult, paying customers? The attitude immediately turned our whole group off instantly and will never patronize this business. There were only two other vehicles at the winery, they were not busy and we DID call and didn't even meet the numbers of guests who require reservations. We are a group of professionals who deal with customers in our own businesses and were flabbergasted at the way we were treated. I can't contribute on how their wine tastes, since we weren't even allowed through the door. I wonder if it matches the sour attitude of their staff? We went down the road to Ashley Lynn winery, with no reservation. We were greeted pleasantly, given more samples than anyone would ever expect, the family member staff even carried our purchases to our limo for us! And they even threw in two bottles of wine for us to enjoy on the limo!!! Needless to say, their kind attitude and wonderful customer service won all of us over as life-long customers and we bought six cases of wine! read more

I've been to so many different wineries in the region that it surprises me that this one gets away with wine blends that taste like water. The wines are nothing to be excited about especially considering this is a region that is VERY rich in wineries. You've got to be competitive and this one just seems to have given up or is stagnating. The girl behind the counter was nice, but I felt as though I was being pressured to spend money on a bottle of wine to earn some of my tasting fee back. I didn't make any purchases even though I was trying very hard to find something to like. read more

Service was awful. The server didn't smile, say hello, offer information. Nothing. Less than one star.

The wines/ciders are mediocre and the service is rude to the point where its borderline offensive. Go someplace else that will appreciate your patronage. read more
