Itinerary:
This full-day tour takes you to three family-owned wineries on the east side of Cayuga Lake, including winemaker and grower experiences, private wine tastings paired with local cheese and chocolates and a Finger Lakes comfort food lunch.
Our first stop of the day is Long Point Winery, where you are treated to a truly intimate wine tasting experience. Owner and winemaker, Gary Barletta, will share his love of Zinfandel, as you taste four different styles of wine created from this one grape varietal. This full-bodied red is perfect with chocolate, so we’ll have some with us for you to experience. Afterward, experience a variety of Long Point finished wines, from crisp or fruity whites to rich, full-bodied reds.
Next, head to Treleaven Wines. Upon arrival, you will enjoy lunch prepared by chef Cookie Wheeler featuring comfort food with a twist. To view an example of your lunch options, visit Simply Cookie’s Kitchen Menu (subject to change). A private wine tasting follows, where the fabulous Treleaven wines will be presented with selections to match your palate. A special dessert pairing will be featured.
For the final stop of the tour, head to Bright Leaf Vineyards, where you get a vineyard tour given by the grower, followed by a private tasting where you will experience their artisan-crafted wines thoughtfully paired with locally-made chocolates. It doesn’t get much better than this in the Finger Lakes!
Don’t miss this unique opportunity for an intimate exploration of the local bounty along East Cayuga!
