Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards - Hector, New York

Courtney J.

My gal pals and I visit the finger lakes region every year, Hazlitt is ALWAYS on our stop. Unfortunately, most wineries close by 5pm but Hazlitt is just getting started!

They offer fantastic live music (dancing is a must!), outdoor fire pits (a great place to warm up on a chilly night), outdoor games, and great drinks. The atmosphere is lively, with much gaiety.

If you're looking for a sweet red wine, I highly suggest that you take home a bottle of Red Cat.

This is a dog friendly establishment.

The gift shop has lots of selection, from t-shirts and coasters, to wine and cheeses. They also give you a $3 off (in the gift shop) your same day purchase if you purchase a tasting.

There is a Tasting Room in the back, and plenty of room around the bar.

Cheers!

There is a vast selection of vineyards to choose from when visiting the finger lakes. I would recommend adding Hazlitt to your list. Wine tasting is $10. There is an excellent selection of wine, which is great for people with all different preferences. And right across the parking lot is a venue where you can listen to live music, have a drink (or two), and grab something to eat.

Really nice place. Always a wait, extremely busy, but worth it in the end. The Oasis by Hazlitt is right there as well. Doesn't have the views you'll get at other places along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, but it has a very nice atmosphere and is beautiful inside. Great food as well. A bit pricey in that regard. Shady areas outside to sit and relax and did friendly outside. Beautiful Koi pond off the Oasis with a fountain and deck to relax on. Only slight is not enough outside seating. But like I stated, it's always extremely busy(deservedly so) and no matter what there would be limited seating outside I imagine. Can't recommend strongly enough. Very friendly staff and excellent wines.

A winery with an impressive range of excellent wines having won countless awards for many years. We met the winemaker while having lunch at a local restaurant. He has been there since graduating from Cornell in 2004. If you're all about the wine then you have to come here! Whites, reds, sparkling and slushes are all available. The tasting bar is smaller but a great time for anyone as you enjoy the superior wines among quirky displays of animals and antiques. There is a very large area for purchasing bottled wine and other memorabilia. Next door is The Oasis where you can get food and hang out by the lovely pond. This is a must stop on your winery tour!

If you go anywhere by Seneca Lake you need to go to Hazlitt. You must speak to Pete! Very knowledgeable and can tell you about all of the wine selections! Definitely a top employee! I could ask him any question and he could tell me the answer.

So good. If you like just a light cider this is the place to go. Their Citra Hops taste like summer time while their cinnamon cider is the perfect holiday cider. Definitely worth a visit.

Hazlitt is the heart and soul of the finger lakes wine trails. They offer the best most popular wines in the region. Red cat and white cat are the best wines around! They have a huge outdoor tili bar and big inside gift shop with cheap prices and friendly service.

Loved this place. Very nice interiors and good seating area outside.they have managed it very well and little ponds with fountains makes it more beautiful.
I am no connoisseur of wines so cant say much there but they can definitely improve options in snacks
