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. If a starting winery is indicated as sold out, it simply means you must choose a different starting winery.

Event Recipes

CLICK HERE to preview event recipes. We strongly encourage you to preview the recipes in advance, so you know what to expect, especially if you have food allergies or dietary restrictions. Due to the volume of food prepared, wineries cannot accommodate food allergies and dietary restrictions during Wine Trail event weekends.

Plaese note that this is a chocolate-themed event. You can expect to taste mostly sweet dishes. There are a few savory options sprinkled in, but again, it is mostly a dessert-themed event.

Group Size Maximum

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

Refunds & Cancelation 

Seneca Lake Wine Trail event tickets are non-refundable under any circumstances. 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.

We love our designated drivers and encourage our event attendees to enjoy the weekend responsibly! DDs receive a souvenir insulated travel mug, plus the food samples and a non-alcoholic beverage at each participating winery along the way.

Tickets are exclusively digital

Once you purchase tickets, you’ll receive them via an email on your phone. There is one QR code per ticket and each QR code will be scanned at each winery to gain admission. You must be prepared to present your digital ticket on your phone to be scanned at each winery you visit. In the alternative, you can print your ticket at home and present it at each winery to be scanned.

We’ve partnered with Sip Back and Relax Tours to create excursions that include your transportation, lodging, event tickets, and breakfast, for groups of 2, 4, and 6 people. CLICK HERE to see the options for Chocolate and Wine Weekend.

Purchase Tickets:

To purchase tickets, select your chosen starting winery from the dropdown menu and click or tap “BUY TICKETS”. Then you’ll be taken through the check-out process. If a winery is noted as “SOLD OUT” it means you must choose a different starting winery.

During check-out, you will be prompted to enter your email address and/or cell phone number. We strongly encourage you to enter both, as this is the way you will receive your tickets. Sometimes, the ticket email bounces to spam. Enter your email address carefully and double check the spelling before completing the transaction.

If, after you complete your check out, you do not see your tickets in your email or phone, don’t panic. Give us a call at 607-535-8080 and we’ll troubleshoot with you.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Below are the tickets remaining as as of 2/8/26 @ 3pm EST.

If you are attempting to buy tickets and the site won’t let you proceed under a particular starting winery, it probably means that winery is sold out and you’ll have to choose a different starting winery.
