When you purchase tickets, you will do so by selecting a starting winery. You must begin at your starting winery. There are no paper tickets for this event. All tickets are digital and will be sent to you after check out via text and/or email, depending upon your preference selected in the check out process. If a winery is noted as sold out, that just means you have to select a different starting winery.

Seneca Lake Wine Trail event tickets are non-refundable. 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.
