The 2008 Spring Wine and Cheese Weekend, sponsored by our friends at McCadam Cheese, is an incredibly popular event, combining the classic tastes of wine and cheese into one delectable weekend.  It is a self-guided tour around beautiful Seneca Lake and a chance to visit up to 35 unique wineries. Start by picking up your gift item and recipe book at your assigned starting winery and receive your first sampling of a new wine release or perhaps a barrel wine sample!

This weekend event, like all our wine and food pairing events, is a great opportunity for people to experience a vast array of food/wine combinations. Wine is rarely consumed alone, and what specific food you eat with a specific wine greatly impacts the tastiness of each. So this weekend is a terrific chance for you to sample an incredible variety of combinations and, when you find a wine/food pair that really lights up your palate, you can buy a few bottles of the wine for later, buy the McCadam cheese from your local grocery store, then prepare the food at home using the recipe book, and introduce your friends and family to that particularly delightful combination.
