$35 per person (wine tasting ticket) Tickets do not include lodging or transportation. Limited weekend packages with lodging and transportation included are described below. Ticket orders will be securely processed by our partner site Eventbrite. They will email you an e-ticket which must in turn be redeemed for your actual event ticket(s) at your starting winery. You therefore must start at your starting winery, because until you visit your chosen starting winery, you will not have your actual tickets. The document emailed to you by Eventbrite does not qualify as your ticket and wineries will require that you have your actual cardstock ticket before you can begin enjoying this event. Furthermore, because of this, it is even more important that groups of attendees purchase their tickets on one order, to guarantee that all attendees will have the exact same starting winery. Lastly, bundles of tickets can only be picked up by the person who purchased them. If you have any questions about our e-ticketing system, please call the office during regular business hours at 877-536-2717. Tickets purchased are not refundable, exchangeable or changeable and the winery you chose to start at when purchasing your tickets cannot be altered. Seneca Lake Wine Trail events are never cancelled. Sometimes our events sell out, so you should purchase your tickets well in advance of the event itself. For those events that do not sell out, we stop selling tickets in advance by 1:00 p.m. EST the Wednesday before the event weekend. After that tickets will be available to purchase at a few designated wineries, with an additional charge of $5 per ticket. Large groups of 24 or more people are limited to 4 per day. They are booked on a first-come, first-served basis. Please contact Glenda Stermer-Simpson toll-free 877-536-2717 for availability and rules. There is a trail-wide special event policy for ticket holders attending these weekend events that as long as you travel in a group of 23 or less people, you will not need to make an appointment at the participating wineries. Each attendee will enjoy a complimentary sample of the dish served by the winery, paired with a sample of wine intended to complement that dish best. With so many wineries participating in our events, attendees oftentimes visit many wineries in a day, therefore entire flights of wine samples are not served by each winery during the event. |

Testimonials
"One of our favorite events is Deck the halls. Our favorite memory was at Glenora when a group of young Mrs. Clauses got out of there limo and started dancing. They even got the driver involved. We also enjoyed the Pasta and Wine weekend. Lots of food and great wine and met many new friends."

"My wife, Dani and I participated in our first Seneca Lake Wine Trail event this past January, Pasta & Wine. We were joined by friends Kevin and Carolyn from Rochester. I left work early Friday so we could hit the trail by 1:00 p.m. We enjoyed the fact that the wineries weren't crowded, and visited 11 wineries that afternoon. We thought the pasta dishes were awesome, and gladly collected recipes from each winery. Dani has actually prepared a couple of them since then, and they are delicious. We enjoyed the fact that most of the wineries invited us to taste wines in addition to the designated pairings with the pasta. This led to our purchasing about a case and a half of wine during our afternoon adventure. One of our unique memories from this event was getting stuck in the snow at one of the wineries. It was nothing 3 people pushing and one driving couldn't handle, but makes a great topic of conversation. Thank you for organizing such a wonderful event!"
