Nice laid back open air tasting area, boasting an awesome view of Seneca Lake. As others have mentioned our tasting was fortunately with the winemaker himself (Ben). Great younger guy with a definite passion for wine. Well schooled and industry related travel (California, New Zealand etc.) have served him well as his products are some of the nest in the area. His roots in the Seneca Lake area pulled him home to further hone his craft.Osmote is looking to eventually expand the space with a tasting room,. but during the nice weather it is a perfect setting as it stands. The tasting was more expensive that many in the area at $20, but the quality and experience made it worth it for us. It also included a shortbread cookie that was delicious. There was nice selection of music playing in the background as well.We enjoyed our stop and will be back!

Great chatting with winemaker and owner,Ben. Not too fussed over the tasting fees as the wine was delicious and the view was amazing. Would love to hook up the place for a private event sometime in the near future.

We had a great time here--lovely view, casual atmosphere under the tent with unpretentious yet informed conversation with the winemaker. Like another reviewer, we aren't normally big into pet-nats but we took home both of their offerings. Great wine at great prices, which are fairly advertised on the website and at the tasting, in contrast to what another reviewer here has stated.

Fun tasting experience! The winemaker actually actually does the tasting which is a refreshing change of pace from some of the larger wineries in the area.We took home bottles of the Chardonnay, Rose’ and Pet Nat. As someone who isn’t really into Pet Nats I actually really enjoyed this one.The space pretty no-frills — a tent outdoors with a nice view, but even on a not so nice day we enjoyed ourselves. If you’re passing through the area it’s definitely worth a stop!

It was really nice to have the wine maker there to explain and go over his process for making all the wines. However, he also charged us for everything he poured without us asking for a single wine. He also brought us shortbread cookies, which we didn’t ask for, and charged us full price for that too! It’s not even in a building, it’s in a tent. We also didn’t see a price list until after he poured our first wine.Charging people for wine you pour into their glass without even asking if they want it is not a good way to do business. We ended up paying almost $20 per person for the tasting! We didn’t know that there wasn’t a set tasting price because he just poured what he wanted without asking us what we wanted to try.Buyer beware! This is not an honest nor upfront business!

The wine was absolutely amazing as well the atmosphere. Sitting for a tasting with the owner was very nice and did not feel rushed at all. Will absolutely return on my next trip!!

Great personalized tasting by the owner/winemaker. Lovely views and fantastic wine. A true hidden gem in the FLX. The shortbread cookie is a great added touch!Look forward to returning!

Ben, the winemaker, was more than accommodating to my wife and I. He sat with us while doing our tasting and explained each wine and the wine making process throughly. Osmote is now our favorite in the region.
