We are requiring that all passengers provide proof of vaccination against Covid-19, or proof of antibodies, upon meeting your driver the day of your tour. Failure to provide adequate proof will result in immediate termination of our services.
How the Wine Tour Works:
To keep things simple, we have one tour type available:
The Walk-In Tour: $115 per person
Walk-in tours are simple 6 hour tours (11am-5pm) that do not require reservations with the wineries, and are a great option for guests who are unfamiliar with the Finger Lakes, or have already made some reservations for themselves. We will visit up to five (5) wineries on the tour.
Your tour guide will assist you with selecting wineries/breweries throughout the day, based on your preferences. You are not required to make reservations at each winery or choose your own winery list, though you may do so if you wish.
-Up to Four (4) guests are allowed on these tours.
-Tasting fees and gratuity are not included.
-Transportation fees (pickup and drop off) may also apply. This fee varies based on distance; this can be circumvented for guests staying in Geneva, NY. You will be notified of this charge upon providing your preferred pickup location, and before you finalize your booking. No surprise fees from us!
Exceptions can be made for group sizes if you have already made reservations (but can never be more than 6). Email us and we will work with you!
Winery selection may be limited due to crowds, time of year or changes in reservation policies at individual wineries.

Please read the 6 points below before clicking the "I'm Ready to Book" button. This page contains important information regarding your tour!
1. Wine tastings are sometimes by appointment only, and are generally only open to small groups (4-6 is the most common). You may need to make reservations at specific wineries. Communicate with your Guide about any appointments you make to ensure you can visit all your preferred wineries! "Group Splitting" to bypass group size restrictions is strictly prohibited at all wineries, breweries, meaderies and distilleries.
2. Winery selection may be limited. That is to say, we may not be able to visit all your preferred wineries. Some are closed, have different hours, are reservation only, or may already be booked by the time you request them.
4. Wineries may have a set of rules for visitors, and they may seem strange or cumbersome. Adherence to a winery's rules is required to have a safe and enjoyable tasting experience. Failure to follow a winery's rules will result in immediate termination of your tour without refund. Your tour guide will help you navigate these regulations, as he is very familiar with most of the wineries you will be visiting.
5. Group tours (more than one party) will not be available; all tours are considered private, and the day is closed once the first booking is made. There is a maximum of four (4) guests for Wine Tours. More on that below.
6. Your tour guide will not be joining you inside the wineries, unless you want him to! Make sure your tell him when you're wrapping up, so he can warm up the van for you and meet you out front to load up the trunk with all your purchases!

But What About Lunch?!
Don't you worry about a thing! Most of the wineries provide a fantastic selection of local meats, cheeses, chips and bread, or we can stop at one of many eateries along the wine trail. Lunch options on the trail are in more detail on our Recommendations page. Click the button below!
Make sure you read the Rules page too! These are very important, especially now, and are there to ensure we can safely enjoy the Finger Lakes and be welcome back next time we visit.
