Discover the best of the Finger Lakes wine region on the Ithaca to Wine Country Guided Tasting Experience—a private, small-group tour that’s all about quality, comfort, and local flavor. Say goodbye to crowded party buses and hello to a relaxed, personalized day hosted by a local guide who knows the area like the back of their hand.

Your journey begins in Ithaca, where you’ll be whisked away to a handpicked lineup of three iconic tasting destinations. First up is a historic vineyard in Ithaca, rich in tradition and bursting with local character. Sip on hand-crafted wines while learning about the region’s deep-rooted winemaking history.

Next, the tour takes you to a lakefront estate winery, offering panoramic views of one of the Finger Lakes’ sparkling blue gems. Here, you’ll enjoy a curated tasting in a serene setting where the wine is as unforgettable as the view.

Finally, experience the rustic charm of a working organic cider farm, complete with a cozy café. Sample seasonal ciders made from estate-grown apples, and if you're feeling peckish, grab a bite featuring locally sourced ingredients.

The journey isn’t just about the drinks—nature lovers will enjoy a stop at Taughannock Falls, the tallest waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains. It’s a perfect photo opportunity and a refreshing way to stretch your legs between sips.

Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or just looking to unwind with friends, this guided tasting experience blends the best of Finger Lakes scenery, craft beverages, and small-town charm. It’s flexible, intimate, and designed with care—just how wine country should be explored.
