Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards was established by Jerry and Elaine Hazlitt on a family farming tradition stretching back five generations to the mid-19th century. The Naples tasting room operates from the former Widmer Wine Cellars facility, one of the historic production sites that shaped the American public's understanding of Finger Lakes wine through the 20th century. The current portfolio balances approachable semi-sweet blends, led by Red Cat, with dry vinifera whites and reds from the surrounding hillside vineyards. Red Cat has become a commercial benchmark for the region: a semi-sweet red blend that consistently ranks among the highest-selling New York State wines by volume. The winery also maintains a scenic one-mile hiking trail through the old Widmer vineyard blocks behind the facility. Open Friday through Sunday; hours expand seasonally.
