Choosing a Starting Winery

When you purchase tickets, you will do so by selecting a starting winery. You must begin at your starting winery, this is where you will pick up your tasting glass (or DD mug) and event favor. Once you visit your starting winery, you may visit the remaining participating wineries in any order you choose. Your starting winery cannot be changed once you purchase tickets, so please choose carefully.

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.

Group Size Maximum

The group size maximum for our Wine Trail events is 6 people. This is a firm maximum and you may not split larger groups to become a group of 6.

Refunds & Cancelation 

Seneca Lake Wine Trail event tickets are non-refundable but are transferable to another person. Our events are not canceled due to weather, nor are tickets refunded due to weather (either here or in your home area). We do offer ticket insurance through a third party, which you can purchase at check-out.

Tickets to the Event

Our tickets are 100% digital, so you can buy them at any time, including during the event itself! 

Wine Tasting Ticket: $65 (includes taxes and fees)

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 cozy casseroles, savory soups, or other comfort-food-style 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.

NEW in 2025: DIGITAL 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.

During check-out, you will be prompted to enter your email address. This is the default method to get your tickets. We encourage you to also include your cell phone number. If you do, a link to download the tickets will be sent to your phone via text.

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

Either way, you must have your ticket scanned at each participating winery to gain admission.
