“We decided to stop at this winery because it was on the way back to our Airbnb. They only serve dry wines, which we are not great fans of. However, the wines we tried were pretty good and we liked most of them. The service was outstanding. The person serving the flights was very friendly and willing to tell stories and talk about the wine. It seemed like everyone who showed up had an equally good experience. Even if you are not a fan of dry wines, I would recommend stoppping at this winery. You will have a great experience.“

“Spent the first weekend in October, going to different wineries around Seneca Lake on both the east side and west side. This one was by far one of the best. The atmosphere is great, the service wonderful! The wine samplings were perfect, and the food was the best that we had at any Vineyard. We got the wings, which were probably some of the best I have ever had anywhere, olive appetizer and their chicken sandwich with potato wedges. Everything was cooked perfectly! And so so tasty!

Would highly recommend!!“

“we were there today for the wife to get some wine and for me to get some honey (best honey ever) but they were out of stock. (no big deal) but while the wife was tasting. the girls(Kendra and Paula) went out of there way to find the honey I was looking for. they are the best. again thank you and we will definitely be back.“

“Great wine, beautiful view of the lake and friendly, helpful staff. Sam did our tasting and was excellent!“

“Delicious burger and wine pairing! Give Red Newt a try for your next weekend lunch, you'll be glad you did! I had the newt burger with fries and a glass of Red Eft. The local ingredients create a hearty meal that fueled me rather than weighed me down. Can't wait to try another burger or a grilled cheese and soup. They put an elegant twist on all they do with bright and friendly staff.“

“Had a great lunch there today with my mini me. So excited to have a place to eat on this side of the lake.“

“We stopped in yesterday and had a nice bottle of wine. Assistant Wine Maker Rhett Seeley stopped by to chat. Never met him before, but he was passing by and we asked him for some recommendations. He was extremely helpful and friendly. We ended up buying the wines he recommended as well as some beautiful garlic, a bag of coffee and some wine glasses! They are known for their dry reds and they did not disappoint. I highly recommend adding Hector Wine Company to your list of stops along the wine trail.“

“My favorite winery. Good wine, good people and a beautiful view. I just love the whole vibe.“

“Catharine Valley Winery offers a delightful experience with its great atmosphere, friendly people, and fantastic views. Nestled in a picturesque setting, it's the perfect place to unwind and enjoy some exceptional wines and ciders. Whether you're a connoisseur or just looking to relax with a glass in hand, you'll find this winery to be the ideal spot for a lovely afternoon. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a taste of local charm and excellent beverages!“

“As a part of my Sperm Donation World Tour of the USA, after an epic morning of doing Watkins Glen State Park as I made my way up to Geneva would be rude not to hit some wineries along the way. This was my 2nd stop, I stayed in the Inn the night before so got a free tasting love the Brute De Brut and Revolution Red then followed in preference order Cab Franc, Sparkling Rose and the Cab Sav.“
