About Our Special Event Weekends
The Seneca Lake Wine Trail member wineries host a number of unique food and wine pairing events throughout the year. Each event is designed as a self-guided tour, sampling your way through our member winery tasting rooms. At each stop you’ll receive a food and wine pairing fitting the event theme. The events are designed to help educate our visitors about the incredible food-friendly nature of Seneca Lake wines. It’s also a great opportunity to try new foods and find new recipes, as well as pairings you may not have otherwise considered! We encourage designated drivers. We even have a ticket just for them! Please enjoy the Seneca Lake Wine Trail responsibly.
