Tickets are good for all three days. We encourage you to spread your winery visits out. You must begin at your chosen starting winery, but then you can visit wineries in any order you choose, visiting each winery once throughout the course of the weekend.

This is for the *second weekend* of Deck the Halls – we host two separate weekends for this event. Be sure to select the correct one as tickets cannot be exchanged between the two.

Choosing a Starting Winery

• Participating wineries each receive the same number of starting tickets to begin the event. We do this to help control traffic flow around the lake and prevent overcrowding.
• To purchase tickets, you will do so by selecting a starting winery. You must begin at your starting winery but then you can visit the wineries in any order you choose.
• Once you purchase tickets, your starting winery cannot be changed.

Things to Know

• Tickets are not refundable under any circumstances and the event is not canceled for snow or ice (unless the state or county closes the road).
• We do offer ticket insurance through a third party, which you can add on to your ticket order. For example: if are ill cannot attend or if the weather is bad near you and you cannot travel, we will not refund these tickets. If you have ticket insurance, you can submit a claim through that process to request a refund.
• Ticket quantities are limited and this event usually sells out well in advance. Get your tickets early!
• If you are purchasing tickets with a group of people, note that we have a group size maximum of 6 people. We strongly encourage you purchase your tickets on one order to ensure you can all get the same starting winery.
• As tickets begin to sell, wineries will sell out as a starting wineries. That means you must choose another winery at which to begin the event. We try to keep the list as up to date as possible, but if you run into trouble attempting to purchase tickets, please give us a call: 607-535-8080 and we are happy to assist.
• The maximum group size for this event is 6 people, including tasters and DD ticketholders. Please do not travel in groups larger than 6.
