If it’s a trail, can we walk it?
The Seneca Lake Wine Trail is home to 29 member wineries. Although it’s called a “trail” – it is not for walking or hiking. Visiting the wineries is something you do at your leisure, while driving (we highly recommend a designated driver) or hiring transportation to take you from winery to winery.
Tours & Excursions
There are not any “step on” tours but there are full service companies who can help you plan your trip and provide transportation. We also offer one-day excursions for groups of 2-4 people, learn more here.
What should I know during COVID?
Right now, wineries are operating a bit differently than “usual”. Some require reservations and others do not. Large groups are strongly discouraged at this time as most wineries can only accommodate groups of no more than 4 to 6 people. Please review our Current Winery Offerings for complete details on each winery.
