Choosing a Starting Winery

When you purchase tickets, you will do so by selecting a starting winery. If a winery is noted as a sold out as a starting winery, it means you must choose another winery as your starting location.

You must begin at your starting winery and starting wineries cannot changed once tickets are purchased. If you are purchasing tickets as part of a group (remember, we have a maximum of 6 people), you should purchase them at the same time to ensure you can all start at the same winery. Once you’ve visited your starting winery, you can go to participating wineries in any order you choose.

Event Recipes

CLICK HERE to view the event recipes. 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. You should not plan to travel in groups of more than 6. This group size maximum is in place to ensure that wineries can provide attendees the best experience possible.

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.
