Wine Tours and Tastings
Your Experience
Great Wines, Great Times!
“Come as a guest, leave as a friend!”
These are the famous words of our late founder, Jerry Hazlitt, that we live by every day. Wine tours and tasting is fun and we make sure to keep it that way! You can relax, unwind, and enjoy award-winning wine with lighthearted stories, interesting facts and smiles.
Our casual approach to wine tasting allows you to spend a little more time learning about wine in an informal atmosphere, without the intimidation. Lively conversation, freshly popped popcorn and our friendly wine guides can’t wait to meet you!
Visit us at one of our two winery locations in the Finger Lakes region of New York.

PRIVATE TASTING
A Private Tasting Experience is available for groups of 7-12. RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED BY PHONE and must be made at least 24 hours in advance of a visit. The fee is $20/person. Payment for a group is collected at the time of reservation. Cancellations must be made 24 hours prior to the visit to receive a full refund. The Private Tasting is led by a Wine Guide and includes wine/cider/wine seltzer flights paired with a charcuterie board with local meats and cheeses in a private tasting room. Plan for about 50 minutes for the experience. This Private Tasting Experience is available at both winery locations.
Limos and buses are welcome.
TIP:
Weekends in the summer and fall are when we see the majority of our visitors. If you are looking for a more intimate, quiet experience, we recommend visiting on a weekday and/or in the winter or spring (it’s also a great opportunity to run into a winemaker or owner).
Snack Baskets
We have a tasty snack basket menu available at both winery locations. Our Hector winery, Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards, has additional food options available at the Oasis.
