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.
Link will be posted soon!
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.
The group size maximum for our Wine Trail events is 6 people.
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.
