Experience the Fine Wines of Southwest Seneca

This tour is available in three different options:

Shared Tour: Small, guided experience for up to 6 guests (2-3 different households) with knowledgeable wine professional tour guide. This is the enhanced shared group experience for which we are known, now in an extra small format.

Traditional Private Tour: The high-quality experience you have come to expect in an E!FLX tour, now available as a private experience for 2-6 people. Comes with $20 of “Bottle Bucks” per person, that serves as cash towards wine purchases at all stops.

Premium Private Tour Upgrade: All the enhanced features of our traditional private tour (including “Bottle Bucks”) with upgraded premium tastings at each winery. Tastings will feature limited library and reserve wines not typically offered to the public. You can upgrade your Traditional Private Tour to a Premium Private Tour for an additional $50 per person.

Want to get even more out of your private tour? Premium Private Tours offer the option to have a certified sommelier serve as your tour guide for the ultimate experience!

Our first stop is Missick Cellars, formerly Villa Bellangelo. Your visit starts with some bubbly as you learn about sparkling winemaking! You will surely be impressed with the hand selected wines as you work through your tasting. Enjoy the views, conversation and excellent wine-making as you enjoy the remodeled Missick Cellars experience.

Next is lunch ― we have two potential stops for lunch on this tour. Tabora Farm & Winery has an amazing Deli. We select from their made-to-order sandwiches, quiche and soups for lunch. Their baked goods are not to be missed.

After lunch, we head to Lakewood Vineyards, 2017 NYS Winery of the Year, where the Stamp family has been growing grapes and making wine on their land since 1951. When you arrive, one of the family members leads a vineyard and winery tour, followed by a private tasting of a carefully-selected broad variety of their award-winning wines. The tasting culminates with a sampling of their ruby port paired with chocolate.

Our final stop of the day Barnstormer Winery, a newer winery in Southwest Seneca that has already made its mark on the region with its small production, high-quality wines. Enjoy a private tasting in the 170-year-old restored barn, featuring refreshing sparkling and white wines, highly crafted reds, and an experiential food pairing bite with a local cheese to show the magic of wine and food pairing.
