Curated Winter, Wine, and Munch on Cayuga

All The Details:

You will start with your first appointment at 11 a.m. at Buttonwood Grove Winery. The experience begins with a behind the scenes production tour that includes the opportunity to taste wine right out of the tank or barrel.   After your tour, you will head back to the cozy tasting room where you will be able to select 4 wines in a guided tasting experience. Afterwards enjoy a bowl of homemade soup and bread. (Wine by the glass is available as an extra purchase if desired).. Please note that not all dietary restrictions may not be able to be accommodated with the food offerings.

Next you will head to Six Eighty Cellars, where you will experience a guided tasting at one of the most distinctive wineries in the Finger Lakes. Choose from their extensive list of wines, and a team member will guide you through the impact of different winemaking techniques on the classic Finger Lakes varietals selected. The tasting comes with an artisan cheese and charcuterie board to explore pairing combinations with your wines.

Your last stop will be Bet the Farm Winery. This is a boutique mom & pop winery owned by winemaker Nancy Tisch and vineyard manager Kit Kalfs. Experience great views, amazing hospitality and fabulous wines.  Your owner-guided tasting is amplified with stories and masterfully curated wine and chocolate pairings. Savor some of their estate reds wines, tantalizing whites and award-winning blends. Their chocolate and wine pairing is the perfect way to end your day; enjoy four wines paired with delicious artisan chocolates
