Welcome to the Seneca Lake Wine Trail
Riesling to Visit Passport
The Riesling to Visit Passport is now on-sale, both online (click on the 'Tickets' link above) or at most participating wineries along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. For only $18+tax, bearers of the Passport can enjoy a standard flight of tastings at over 20 participating wineries, one time each, anytime between now and when it expires at the end of July. This is a terrific product, enabling you to explore many of our newer wineries, at no additional cost, simultaneously leaving extra money in your pocket that you didn't spend on our modest tasting fees, that can be used to buy even more bottles of our award-winning wines! You can find out more about the Riesling to Visit Passport by clicking here. Since it can be used across multiple days, this booklet is especially useful for regional fans of our Trail, who can use the Passport across multiple weekends/days over the next few months. The Riesling to Visit Passport is not intended for groups of 8 or more people. If you're planning on visiting the Trail in the next 3 weeks or less, we strongly recommend that you purchase your Passports at one of the participating wineries.
Seneca Lake Wine & Food Event
This new event, co-sponsored by the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, will be held at Clute Park in Watkins Glen, NY on Saturday and Sunday, June 2nd and 3rd, 2012 from 10am - 5pm each day. Seneca Lake Wine and Food will celebrate and highlight the best the Seneca Lake area has to offer. Over 50 wine and food vendors will be in attendance for you to sample. Click here for more information on the event. Live music and cooking demonstrations will also be a part of the event for you to enjoy.
Seneca Lake Wine Trail Products and Souvenirs
The Seneca Lake Wine Trail has partnered with Wine Forward to create a new commerce site where various unique gifts can be purchased easily and securely. We are initially stocking the new commerce site with some of the ultra premium Riedel glasses that were given out as gift items last year for our 25th Anniversary, and also have 25th Anniversary cookbooks for sale and limited edition event poster bundles! This new commerce site does not sell event tickets. To visit this new commerce site, please click here. This site was only recently built, so our partner Wine Forward is still building up the look/feel of this site. But it is fully functional, with several items available for purchase right now.
Large Group Tours
We are frequently asked about setting up a tour of our member wineries by large groups. Each winery has its own individual policies. Some wineries require appointments for groups of 8 or more people, others don't require an appointment unless the group exceeds 16 people, for example. In some instances tasting fees are the same between a large group and an individual, in other cases they are different. Please click here for more information on bringing a large group to the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, and feel free to call our office during regular business hours with any additional questions.
