The Hazlitt family has cultivated fruit in New York’s Finger Lakes region since 1852, later becoming vintners and building East Coast Crush & Co-Pack around that agricultural heritage. Today, the Naples operation helps beverage businesses bring products from grape or concept to market, with more than 3 million gallons of tank capacity supporting production at scale. Its history includes the 2010 acquisition of the historic Widmer Winery, founded in 1888.

Martin Family Wineries & DistilleriesWhat began in 1999 as a Martin family honey farm and garage meadery has grown into a Finger Lakes-based group making wines and small-batch spirits across upstate New York. The family’s unusual start with commercial beekeeping still shapes its work, from honey wines to spirits made with local grains, while third-generation Martin Zach leads the distilling operation. The company also provides contract bottling for wineries and spirits businesses.LODI, NY

Buttonwood Grove WinerySince David and Melissa Pittard purchased the property in 2014, Buttonwood Grove Winery has grown into a family-run Finger Lakes winery producing estate wines beside Cayuga Lake. Dave’s roots at the fourth-generation Beak & Skiff Apple Farm inform the Pittards’ blend of agriculture and winemaking, while the family’s expansion of the vineyards and new winemaking building carries the property into its next chapter. Its 2016 Riesling won the 2017 Governor’s Cup as New York State’s best wine, and the site now pairs tastings with lakeside music and cabins among the vines.ROMULUS, NY
