Cayuga Lake Wine Trail - Participating Wineries - Tickets required
Start Date: 4/27/2024 ‐ End Date: 4/28/2024
Drink. Eat. Garden. Repeat. Jumpstart your herb garden by gathering potted herbs and veggies showcased in our delectable food samples, complete with a matching recipe collection.
Indulge in herb-infused dishes and discover the perfect wine pairing for each. Take home the recipes, ensuring you'll shine as the star chef at your next gathering. Plus, enjoy up to three additional wine tastings to complete your delightful experience.
April 27/28 and May 4/5 from 10am to 5pm, both days
10 participating wineries
This event is structured like our pre-2020 events:
Select a specific starting winery for you and your friends to start at. (This is where you’ll receive your souvenir wine glass and first potted herb or vegetable plant!)
Travel the trail as you please after your first stop, collecting potted herbs or vegetable plants as you go.
The ticket is good for BOTH days, so feel free to spread the wineries out over both days or come on just Saturday or just Sunday. (Pro-tip: Sunday tends to be a lighter day, so the wineries won’t be as crowded, which makes for an excellent time to visit and get more one-on-one attention with less waiting.)
Groups are limited to 12.
Expect diversity. Some wineries will be offering the standard bar tasting while others will be offering a sit-down experience that may take longer. Take your time during the day and enjoy both!
Herbs this year are Basil, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Cilantro, Cherokee Purple Tomato, Oregano, Parsley, Rosemary, and Sweet Banana Pepper..
Tickets:
Each ticket is good for the whole weekend to visit each winery once. Single tickets are $65 and couples tickets are $95 (plus tax and service fee) and include:
1 wine and food pairing at each winery, per person
3 additional wine tastings per winery, per person
1 potted herb or vegetable plant per winery per ticket (1 for a single ticket, 1 for a single DD ticket, and 1 for a couples ticket)
1 recipe collection per ticket

Discounted designated driver tickets are also available. The DD gets all the same perks as a regular ticket, minus the wine. They also get a DD travel mug, rather than a wine glass. $45 for a single (plus tax and service fee).
