Rasta Ranch Vineyards is a family-owned and operated farm winery on Route 414 in Hector, on the eastern shore of Seneca Lake. The winery says it was established in 1993. The tasting room pours wine flights and wine by the glass, along with craft cocktails, craft beers and mimosas. It also sells gourmet chocolates, organic local cheeses and smoked meats.
No reservations are needed. Seating is first come, first served, and indoor space is limited. Outside, the winery has a back deck, a main deck and a gazebo, plus a front lawn with lawn games when the weather allows. Its site lists a new back deck and a Barn Dance among its additions.
The winery lists live music through the season. Monday Night Blues runs from April through October with Brett Beardslee, and Sunday Sessions bring local musicians. A Sip & Shop craft market with juried local crafters is held on the third Sunday of each in-season month. Readers voted the winery Silver for Wine Selection in the 2026 FLX Finest.
Wine ships through VinoShipper, which also handles a monthly case club of 2, 6 or 12 bottles. The winery says it takes part in the Wine Travel Card program. Check with the winery to confirm the days it is open before a visit.
