Located on the eastern shore of Seneca Lake, Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards was established in 1985, by our late founders Jerry and Elaine Hazlitt. Our family has been growing grapes and orchard fruits for a living since 1852. The winery and vineyards are now managed by sixth-generation brother and sister, Doug Hazlitt and Leigh Hazlitt Triner. We are known for our award-winning Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Cabernet Franc, Gewurztraminer and are also home to the world famous Red Cat, the original sweet red wine. One of the Top 25 Tasting Rooms in the United States according to Wine Enthusiast magazine, the tasting room, including the famous horseshoe bar, provides a relaxing visit for those who enjoy their wine with stories, jokes, and smiles. This casual approach affords visitors an opportunity to spend a little more time learning about wine in an informal atmosphere without intimidation.
