All The Details:

You will begin at Constantia Wine Company. This new boutique winery is located in the heart of the village of Aurora. Owner and winemaker Paul Paluszewski will guide you through an exclusive tasting created just for this tour. Taste and learn about four ‘curated’ wines selected by Paul that can include new releases, pre-releases and library wines of his stunning vinifera wines. Afterwards, choose another three wines from his current offerings to round out your tasting.

Take a break for lunch at one of our recommended restaurants, or choose to get your lunch to go and enjoy it lakeside at the Aurora Village Park.

After lunch, head to Long Point Winery, where you are treated to another truly intimate wine tasting experience. Owner and winemaker, Gary Barletta, will host you in his wine cellar as he talks about his winemaking process. He will share his special love of Zinfandel, as you taste four different styles of wine created from this one grape varietal. Afterward, you will have the opportunity to choose an additional three wines from their extensive list of wines, from crisp or fruity whites to rich, full-bodied reds.

Young Alumni Event was Wonderful!

Your presentation was terrific – so engaging, interesting, timely, and fun! I loved how you spoke directly to the students not only as a wine expert but also as an alum of the college. You related so well to the audience. I enjoyed watching the students’ response to smelling, tasting, and thinking about the wine and food pairings. You gave them an excellent education that they’ll be able to use for a lifetime.

Private In-Home Wine Presentation with Freshly Prepared Mediterranean Bites and Appetizers

We had the most incredible private food and wine pairing, beautifully curated by Experience! The Finger Lakes. Their resident sommelier guided us through a tasting of five exquisite, chef-prepared dishes, each paired with outstanding local wines. The event was engaging, educational, and delicious. Every bite and sip was a delight, and the evening felt like a true celebration. I highly recommend this experience—it was a highlight of our trip.
