Top-Rated Finger Lakes Wine Experiences!
Laura took us to both a local cider and wine distillery tour of the Ithaca/Cayuga Lake region. We booked a private tour, party of five. Along the way, Laura provided regional history, engaging us in Q&A conversation, which made for interesting, smooth travel time. Tastings came with a small food pairings, which definitely enhanced our sips! We enjoyed the cidery and winery that Laura took us to, and appreciated her recommendations. Clearly, Laura loves her job and shares her passion with her guests. Overall, the trip was enjoyable and I would recommend!

My husband and I did a virtual wine and cheese pairing via zoom. Laura explained all the basics and nuances of the Tres Colores wine, which included a white, a dry rose and a red. It was so fun to smell and taste the different fruits in each of the wines and to learn about the Finger Lakes wines. The cheese pairings amplified the taste of the wines and as Laura said it was “like a party in your mouth.” I would highly recommend the virtual wine tastings - everything arrived on time and in perfect condition. Next time I’m in Ithaca I would love to attend an in person wine tasting. I highly recommend Laura for her knowledge and fun loving personality!

We had an amazing experience with Sommelier Laura and Chef Scott for a custom food and wine pairing dinner at our rented home in the finger lakes. They came to us creating a six course meal with six wines exquisitely prepared, served and described throughout the evening in our own kitchen and dining room. This event was the highlight of a fantastic weekend. The professionalism, care, knowledge and creativity blew us away. We highly recommend it!

We were blown away by how amazing Laura was. She took us on a personalized wine tour to 3 quant and vibrant wineries and 1 cidery for lunch. I would, hands down, recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, enjoyable, customized tour that you not only get to drink great wine but learn about the process they use to make the wines and with Laura's expertise, what kinds of wine go best with your pallet. I have gone on several wine tours in Europe and at the end of this one, we all agreed that this was by far the best we have ever had!

Did a wine tour in Seneca Lake and had a wonderful time! Laura was a phenomenal guide full of history, knowledge and humor. All wineries were wonderful, although Bellangelo (Matt was our wonderful host) was our favorite. The tour, bus, and all wineries were very clean, safe and practiced social distancing while still keeping it fun. I would highly recommend any of the tours! This was my second tour and this one was even better than the last.
