Curated Vines and Wines Across Seneca Lake Tour
Silver Thread Vineyard ♦ Ria’s Wines ♦ Damiani Wine Cellars
This full-day curated wine tour delivers three exceptional winery experiences on Seneca Lake. Experience premium tastings at three sommelier-vetted wineries. Taste wine in the vineyard, visit a new winery and learn how to pair wine with chocolate.
Curated tours of 4-6 guests are private tasting experiences at each winery. Parties of two could include a second party of two at each of your tastings. We book the reservations for you and send you the itinerary complete with times of each reservation. We give you vetted recommendations for lunch and transportation.
All The Details:
You will begin at Silver Thread Vineyard for a vineyard tour and tasting in their private Wine Cellar. Owners Paul and Shannon Brock have been recognized for their sustainable and bio-intensive farming practices in their vineyard. You will learn all about them on the vineyard* tour while they share with you their philosophy of sustainable farming. Afterward, you will head to their VIP wine cellar tasting room, and explore a flight of their award-winning, biointensive, small-batch wines including Rieslings, Gewurztraminers, and their very popular Blackbird red blend paired with local cheese.
After your lunch break, you will head to the newest winery in the Banana Belt: Ria’s Wines. While owners Ria and Michael are new to the Finger Lakes, they are not at all new to wine. Having experience in California, Italy, France and New Zealand they were excited to jump into the rich terrior of Seneca Lake. Their wines express their site with transparency and they use gentle direction in their winemaking philosophy. You will be enchanted by their hospitality and wines.
Your last visit will be at Damiani Wine Cellars where you will be delighted by their views, hospitality, and wines of character. Damiani is known for consistently having some of the best red wines in the region. Your exclusive tasting will explore their award-winning red and white varietal wines paired with local artisan chocolates curated together with our sommelier.
