Choosing a Starting Winery

When you purchase tickets, you will do so by selecting a starting winery. You must begin at your starting winery and starting wineries cannot changed once tickets are purchased. Once you’ve visited your starting winery, you can go to participating wineries in any order you choose.

Event Recipes

The event recipe book will be posted after March 1. Due to the volume of food prepared, wineries cannot accommodate food allergies and dietary restrictions during Wine Trail event weekends.

Group Size Maximum

The group size maximum for our Wine Trail events is 6 people.

Tickets are Non-Refundable

Seneca Lake Wine Trail event tickets are 100% non-refundable. Due to logistical challenges, even if you cannot attend due to an illness, family emergency, etc. – we cannot refund your tickets. We strongly encourage you to purchase ticket insurance. Our events are not canceled due to weather, unless the state closes roads around the Wine Trail. We do offer ticket insurance through a third party, which you can purchase at check-out.

Each wine tasting ticket holder will receive a wine glass and souvenir wine glass charm at their starting winery.  From there, at each participating winery, wine tasting ticketholders enjoy a sample of food (featuring a chocolate-inspired recipe) along with a wine to complement the dish, plus an additional three samples of wine.

Designated Drivers: $25 (includes taxes and fees)

We love our designated drivers! Instead of the wine glass and souvenir charm, DDs receive a souvenir insulated travel mug, plus the food samples and a non-alcoholic beverage at each participating winery along the way.
