When we arrived to this place, the two people working there were distracted. We were given no clear guidance about how our tour and tasting was to be conducted. We waited 45 minutes outside before the next tour at 3. About 5 after, an attendant offered to take us on a private tour, which was rushed. We were told we did not get to see one section, but no explanation was given. Our tour basically just led us through the rooms, and didnt include any information on the process of wine making. Every time we asked a question, I had the feeling that our guide was annoyed at the delay. We did not ask that many questions. The tastings are conducted at a counter where your attendant stands and waits for you to toss down your wine so you can quickly go on to the next. My daughter and I did not feel at leisure to discuss what we were tasting, and no real knowledge was imparted about each of the wines was shared by the person pouring the wine. She just stood there watching us, seeming bored. The wines all had a bitter aftertaste, sweet as they were. This place has all the trappings of a really nice spot; the building, evocative of old Italy, is nonetheless devoid of character. It felt like Disney World. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the vineyard behind and to the side were nice. It is rather spoiled by its proximity to the road in front, and the vista to the back is ruined by a neighborhood of McMansions that the vineyards owner, apparently also a developer, had built. My impression is that this is more of a store than a winery. Most of the tasting room is given over to pricey retail displays. For all its slick presentation, there was very little to lead me to believe that there was any focus on craftsmanship here. Its all commerce. If you are a true wine aficionado, skip this place.

My girlfriend and I sampled some wine from Casa Larga at the Rochester Public Market one Sunday and decided to purchase a bottle for that evening. The person doing the tasting was very nice, but after we paid she mistakenly put the wrong wine in our bag (a less expensive bottle though we paid a few dollars more for the right one). We only realized the mistake when we got home. I called the wine shop to let them know, I didnt expect anything--what were they going to do? We live downtown 25 minutes away. I just wanted to prevent the mistake from happening to others. I figured there was an outside chance theyd offer me a small discount on our next bottle or something. Instead, Jim answered the phone and was super nice, apologized (not that it was anyones fault, these things happen...) and offered to DELIVER the correct bottle we paid for to our house after he got off of work. We were very grateful that he went above and beyond--we could have made do just fine--and he even made sure to bring it chilled. Weve had experiences with Casa Larga in the past ranging from average to good, but we both have a newfound respect and admiration for their wine and their business. Well be back for sure. Thanks Jim!!

I ordered a gift basket as a Christmas present to be sent to a Florida address, the money came out of my account on Dec. 9, 2015. This is what then happened. Dec 24th the gift basket hadnt been recieved by the reciepent. To make this short, I called Casa Larga and spoke to a "manager" who told me the package had been signed for at the correct address in Florida on the 22nd. According to Fed Ex, the package never left NYS and was returned to Casa Larga, an employee of Casa Larga signed receipt of it. The two different "managers" I spoke to were untruthful with me about delivery of the package and its return to Casa Larga. They, also, did not accept any responibility for this package which they had resent.The package has still not been delivered and it is now after Christmas. .

Came to Casa Larga as the last stop on our Canandaigua wine trail pass. Large place indoors and actually one of the most crowded... looked like a lot of last minute Christmas shopping! Our pass allowed us to try 5 from the regular list and 3 from the reserve list (amazing offer), so we took our time and enjoyed our tasting. Ordered a cheese plate to accompany us-- included samples of 3-4 cheeses and crackers. A bit lackluster and below average, but seemingly still satisfied ... we were really hungry. Didnt buy any wine to go, but our service was really really great. Our servers were very thoughtful and spent a good portion of their time giving us restaurant recommendations along with advice on the best grape pie in the area :)

I just recently went to Casa Larga and the service was terrible. We waited for over ten minutes between each pour, the women glossed over us as if we werent there and the woman who was originally serving us left mid service because her shift ended and we had to wait for another woman to realize we were still in the middle of pours. There were not that many people there, and the fact that we basically had to ask the servers to pour out next drink was ridiculous. Also the cheese platter was so sad and depressing, especially paying 7$ for 5 crackers and 4 pieces of cheese with some raisins. The only good part about this place is the landscape and the one sangria wine. Other then that the wine was average and nothing to boast about.

Place looks nice from the outside, but when you get inside the disaster begins. The wine is average at best, the tasting room is small given the size of the building so beware of crowds. Now the fun part, no pun intended.. The check out register. The line took FOREVER, for like 10 to 12 people? They only have one register and no one knows how to use it. Great place to go if you like a 10 minute tasting and to wait in line 40 minutes to pay for it!

30 minute drive to wait 30 minutes for a wine tasting. Not to mention we werent even acknowledged by the staff. There is no bar space and they obviously cater to large parties. Cant comment on the taste of the wine because we got so annoyed we left and went to another winery!

We were given the ice wine and the ice wine BBQ sauce as a gift and I made slow cooked ribs that were fabulous with beans and coleslaw. I wish I had a case of the BBQ sauce. I would use it personally and share with special friends as a gift.

Bought 3 of the wine infused lip balms. OMG I love the favors. And now you guys have the scrubs to match, best gifts ever. Customer Service was great they were upbeat and happy to explain everything, lots to do in Fairport
