Curated Winery Tours

Elevated Experiences ◆ Exclusive Access ◆ Premium Producers

For 18 years, Experience! The Finger Lakes has been offering premier guided wine tour experiences in the Finger Lakes region. As the number of wineries producing extraordinary wines continues to grow, the potential for us to create new elevated winery experiences has also expanded. In order to make more of the region’s best winery experiences available to our guests, we have launched our new Curated Winery Tour program!!

Experience! The Finger Lakes Curated Winery Tours are uniquely designed, elevated winery itineraries that create a day of enhanced wine tastings and immersive experiences at the top wineries in the region.

 You can book 2-6 guests on the curated wine tour of your choice offered on a given day.  Curated tours of 4-6 guests are private tasting experiences at each winery. Parties of two could have a second couple at each of your tastings. 

Just like with our guided tours, curated tours are fully planned for you:

  • You will get an itinerary that includes three scheduled and prepaid winery experiences and lunch suggestions at our favorite eateries.
  • All winery experiences are elevated tastings and provide unique opportunities not available to the public or any other tour company.
  • At least one winery visit will include an immersive behind-the-scene experience such as a vineyard walk, production tour, or unique sampling opportunities.
  • All tastings will include one or more food and wine pairings designed to showcase the magic behind pairing with intention.
  • Many of our winery partners will offer special discounts or promotions on wine purchases available only to Experience! The Finger Lakes guests.
  • If you need transportation, we connect you with vetted transportation companies who are familiar and respectful of the E!FLX touring model. They provide their top drivers who will assist you arriving on-time for each scheduled appointment.
  • At the end of your tour, each booking party will receive a link to our ExperienceD! The Finger Lakes Explorers Page that offers all the special offers from all our partners for you to use to visit other producers during your stay, or when you return to the region.

Explore our currently offered Curated Tours below. New Curated Tours will be added to our tour calendar throughout the season. We can’t wait to share these tours with you!!
