About the Seneca Lake Wine Trail hilton_garden_inn_models.jpg
Surrounding the sapphire waters of Seneca Lake, our 35 wineries invite you to experience a destination rich in history, beauty, and the production of world-class wines. Located in the heart of New York's Finger Lakes Region, our climate supports not only the growth of hardy native grapes and premium hybrids, but also more delicate varieties such as Riesling, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir. Along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail you will truly find a wine to suit every taste. Request information or contact us if you have questions. Journalists can visit our newly built Press Room to find out detailed information on the Trail plus download high resolution images. And to see a newly formed list of the many fine restaurants in our region that proudly serve wine crafted on Seneca Lake, click here. To view some recent interviews with attendees of our  2009 Cruisin' The Tropics Weekend, as well as clips about various wine/grape processing activities, click here for our video page. For more information on the Seneca Lake Wine Trail you're also always welcome to give our office a call during regular business hours toll-free at 877-536-2717. 
 
Deck The Halls Weekend PDF Print E-mail
deck_the_halls_winter_lake_pic.jpgTickets are still available for this incredibly popular event, and while it probably seems a little early in the year to be thinking about holiday-themed events, be assured that this consistently popular event sells out every single year, oftentimes weeks, even months, in advance. Co-sponsored by The Christmas House in Elmira, NY, Deck the Halls Weekend spans two different weekends and is an excellent way to kick off the holiday season. Both Deck the Halls Weekends are held Friday afternoon at all participating wineries from 1pm - 5pm and then Saturday and Sunday from 10am - 5pm both days. The first event is scheduled for the weekend of November 20 - 22, and the second event the weekend of December 4 - 6. Ticket holders are given a handmade grapevine wreath (literally made from vines harvested in the Finger Lakes Region) at their starting winery, and then can enjoy over 2 days worth of carefully crafted samples of food paired expertly with Seneca Lake wines at each of the 32+ participating wineries, picking up unique ornmanents to adorn your wreath at each winery. For more information on the event, click on the link under our Events link above. To purchase tickets, click on the Tickets link above. Like most of our events, we have also cobbled together some terrific, affordable packages (consisting of tickets, accomodations and transportation, and more) which are described in greater detail on the Tickets page. We will also be running our "12 Wine Days of Christmas" promotion whereby selected wineries will be selling wine with a limited-edition label, each reflecting one of the stanzas from our renowned parody song based on the 12 days of Christmas. Both Couples tickets (where only one wreath and one ornament/winery is preferred) and Single person tickets are available for purchase. For more information on the Deck the Halls Weekend event, please call our office during regular business hours toll-free at 877-536-2717.
