It is difficult for us to properly characterize Red Newt. We are sure the facility, at one time, was THE place to be. The staff are all very comfortable with one another and with customers, know the place and their product inside and out, but aesthetics have suffered simply due to age and wear. As for the wines, we felt they were a bit of a mixed bag. There are solid stylistic elements at play in many of the Rieslings, though many of the drier offerings straddled the fine line that divides "classic" from "ascetic." Old world-like tension and austere minerality could be found in these wines. However, some of the harvest and vinification choices made to achieve this have smothered the lovely orange, tangerine, clementine, and floral qualities that Seneca Lake so often imparts to her Rieslings. We ultimately did not find this style compelling, though some may. An interesting experience, but Red Newt is not high on our list to revisit.

Beautiful location and nice food to try with the wines. Sunday brunch pianist adds to the atmosphere. Also look for themed weekend VIP events with tastings and paired snacks.

Had a great experience. Service was wonderful. Very knowledgeable on the varietals and responded well to our personality. Even suggested a great next stop in our wine tour that did not disappoint.

Great fun. They have a variety of wines, and some of the nicer options in the area, but at the same time they're no too serious about it all. Also, great view of the lake.

Great wine. Beautiful view from deck to enjoy a glass or bottle with a nice menu to choose from. A lite snack to a full meal.

Lovely winery and nice spot to enjoy a light meal. Beautiful views. The bistro is self-service. You order at the front, in the tasting area. Service overall was slightly haphazard but still warrants a visit for the wines and light bites.

wife and i loved our recent visit. such FUN with the great women pouring and discussing our wines. we even bought several bottles, something we rarely do at tastings. the atmosphere is very spacious and open and friendly and enhanced our time. i got hungry while tasting and saw on their menu board a cheese and charcuterie plate. I can't resist them. But I was more than surprised at how delicious and creative the plate was! I'd get it every time if I could. excellent and ample slices of toasted baguette, two meats, and the local salami was just superb. two cheeses, one very local--a bleu cheese--and out of this world. an apple and ?? chutney was a treat. oh,, then three small pickled items--olives, cabbage (or was it shallots?), and a fun twist on pickled shaved carrot. Delicious, for a very fair price and with great staff and atmosphere. Love it.

Very friendly and tasty bistro food. I tried the meatloaf grilled cheese which really was good start to finish. The wine tasting was a great value at 7 for $5 and turned me on to buying two nice bottles I otherwise would not have so easily found on label alone. Nice folks we will be back.

We stopped here for a quick lunch and a tasting. The food was really good. My husband and I both got the BLT grilled cheese and soup. The food was fresh and delicious. The bread is made on site and was fantastic. The soups were a spicy creamy tomato and a potato soup. Both had a smooth and silky texture and great flavor. The tasting was good. There was a large variety of wine to try and the lady conducting the tasting had a great knowledge of all the products. This place was great and I would definitely return in the future

I went on "Southern Night" which I think is done by Simply Red on Monday nights. The food was fantastic and the live bluegrass was tasteful and acoustic, providing background music (depending where you sit -- a couple tables were right next to the three-piece band). The wine menu is from all over the Finger Lakes region and you can order by flight or create your own flight, or by the glass/bottle of course. I had the ribs with okra and collard greens and sweet potatoes as an app. The chocolate pate for dessert was rich. Two of us could only finish half of it after a full meal. And I tried two different wine flights so I got 6 small glasses of wine to pair with the food. Great views of vineyard and Seneca Lake sunset. Oil and acrylic paintings of local scenery on the walls were the perfect decor.
