Picked this destination for a daytrip after not being able to shake a memory from 2018 of trying Uncle Homer's for the first time.I arrived at the end of a weekday. It was quiet and peaceful. Pulled up to a quaint and charming barn-like structure, with bohemian, farmhouse flair. Classic rock memorabilia adorned the walls and set the soundtrack for the evening. There was also plenty of cool trinkets, treasures and things to look at. Friendly & helpful staff made the experience lovely.The mixed wine slushie was incredibly refreshing and on point with balance. Great consistency and sweet to tart ratio. Highly recommended. Grabbed some Uncle Homer's on the way out to bring home of course. Beautiful day. Beautiful spot. Crisp, high quality nectar ✌️

Such a cool vibe here! Totally unique from all the other wineries along the trail. Expect to hear some Grateful Dead or Janis Joplin as you sip these sweet wines or the tasty slashes--I had a swirl of fruit punch and piña colada that was divine! The whole place is full of color and the garden was spectacular! They have some yard games set up too. Great spot for sure!

Always worth the trip from Rochester. We drive by every other winery just to get to the Rasta Ranch. After our visit we drive straight home. Been doing it for years.....

Absolutely love the vibe here. We went there on a Monday and got a chance to listen to live music till 8, enjoy the beautiful landscape, people and wine.They have a collection of dry wines (white and reds), semi dry and sweet wines.The decor is interesting and artistic and they have a food truck to order food and a cute shop as well. I recommend this place for sure.

Wonderful. Was recommended by another winemaker in the area. Super fragrant — I’m with my friend who loves sweet wine and I love dry reds and we both loved everything.

At Seneca for our annual cousin’s weekend last week. We all pick a few of our favorite wineries to visit. Rasta Ranch is my ultimate favorite. Owner and staff are always very friendly and make you feel so comfortable!!! I always leave with a new tie dyed shirt and my case of “Piece of My Heart” 💜✌🏻💜✌🏻💜✌🏻

A hidden gem amongst the dozens of cookie cutter wineries in the Seneca area. Amazing chill vibe. Terrific staff. Great crowd. And yes, very good wines! Absolutely had a good time here.

Another favorite winery of mine. They don't participate in the events but I still make sure I stop in here. It's well worth getting the flight and buying some of the best wines on Seneca Lake. I love the atmosphere of this place. It's very inviting and laid back. Staff is great and it's fun to look around at all the memorabilia they have. It's a must stop for a wine trip to Seneca lake

I can say with certainty that I have enjoyed myself here every time I've been. Love the addition of cocktails and beers. It was a nice relaxing stop on a Sunday. My cider mimosa was amazing. Love all the lovely things to buy as well and the memorabilia. Love you guys. Thanks!!

The staff of this establishment is absolutely wonderful and the wine is delicious! Unfortunately our vehicle’s battery needed a jump when we were ready to depart and Diane was nice enough to have her husband Terry give us a jump. We will absolutely be back and would recommend this establishment to anyone visiting Lake Seneca.

They have live music, there is no bathroom/restroom here, just outhouse. 60s vibe. I’m not particularly impressed by the wine. Outhouse only ladies!! You’ve been warned lol.

My beautiful partner and I were on our way from Taughannock Falls to Watkins Glen and we were told that this is one of the best Vineyards/wineries in the area. So we decided to stop and give it a shot. We were not disappointed at all. Diane(owner) was very humble and welcoming. She was very busy though and we did not get to chat much. They were a bit understaffed, but they were making sure everyone was taken care of! Tonaha(Tony) was very helpful and running around trying to pick up the slack. I would give a second 5 Star review to Tony if I could but Google doesn't allow that. The staff here was extremely friendly and very outgoing. You can tell that they take pride in their business and that goes a long way. We decided to do 3 flights, Fantastic Fruits, Sweeter Red and the Sweeter White. I was always a sweet white kinda guy but there Uncle Homer's took the win on this trip. So we bought a gallon amongst other souvenirs. Over all this place is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend Rasta Ranch! If you are traveling and looking for a nice pit stop or even to stop and hang out for a while, I would definitely stop here and enjoy what their family has built! Thank you to the employees of Rasta Ranch for a great experience! Keep up the excellent hard work!

This place had the potential to be such a cool place. I liked some of their wines but almost didn't buy any because of the experience.They have a rule about having to have less than 8 people in your group in order to do a tasting. Regardless if you're tasting or not you cannot have more than 8 people in your group or you cannot do a flight and must purchase by the glass. Knowing this we split up our group, and sat separately 6 in 1 and 4 in the other and we had to pretend not to know eachother. After all was said and done we were all inside and I overheard the woman waiting on us say to the other in the most ignorant and snippy tone "they were definitely together!". She then refused to acknowledge our wine card app and was just plain nasty to myself and our group.They were very rude and it was disappointing. It had the potential to be such a relaxing place with the live music, and chill atmosphere but the people ruined it. We didnt stay long. And we won't be going back!

This place is a piece of home. As soon as we arrived it felt so easy. Peaceful and kind. From the decor to the great company. We are glad we made the stop.

The place had a cool hippie vibe, the only issue I had is the owner telling my guest they needed to get there drink out of her place. She was very very rude about it. It's a wine trail? People do go on tastings, of course we stopped to more then just her establishment. As the owner you would think she could have been a little nicer about the situation. She just seemed bothered by guests instead of inviting.There is also one wine to taste here👎?! The only cool thing about this place was the hippie stuff. I recommend Hazlitt! Super awesome staff, everyone is so friendly!It's all about customer service lady, and having an inviting personality as a business owner. They obviously didn't know they couldn't bring it in, because as soon as you so rudely and loudly told her to get it it out of your establishment they both apologized and took it outside. Dont try to sugar coat anything, you were rude simple as that, there are a ton more wineries just as cool with much friendlier staff we will take our money to them. Thanks hope your days get better, a smile might not hurt you either😉

Love the atmosphere of this winery! Another one that isn't on the Seneca Lake Wine Trails but a must to stop at. The chill vibe received when walking into this winery helps you to slow down and enjoy your wine. My favorites are the Purple Haze and Terry Teaser's. Everyone working here is so friendly and will help lift your spirits as you enjoy some wine. They even have a wine slushie flight! If you normally go up for the wine trail tours, I encourage you to try this one! We always hit it right before Hazlitt. Enjoy!

A beautiful, fun winery on the Eastside of Lake Seneca. Dog friendly and awesome frozen drinks. The wine is great and the store has some cool memorabilia and gifts. A relaxing spot to enjoy the seasons.

Lovely ranch. The site has a hippie atmosphere as it is decorated with peace signs and flags with earth on them. The wine tasting is a great deal as well. For $5 they let you try a large assortment of wine. The hosts we're very social and several fun conversations we're started up while I was there. The wine itself is good and prices for bottles are typical.

This place is a blast! Best staff ever! First of all, Adam will make sure everyone is having a great time! He shares funny stories, jokes, etc and is super knowledgeable about the wines he pours. $1 bills cover the walls and ceilings...makes for interesting decor and adds to the carefree, laid back environment. Live music on the deck outside adds to the awesome vibe here. Not to be missed!

This our favorite spot to stop on Seneca lake. Fun friendly and spirited. Retro look and feel and very friendly owners serving generous portions of the best wine in the area. Highly recommend for a flashback or a fun day of wine touring.

Been up to seneca lake 3 years in a row so far. Really wish i had found them my first year here. Wonderful service, everyone is so friendly. The wine is some of the best I've had up here. I am more partial to the sweet wines which is mostly what they have. You definitely have to try at least once. If i could give it a higher rating i would.
