As seniors at Cornell, we knew quite a bit about the area and some about local wines. We still learned so much from this wine tour and the personal attention was fabulous! We wanted a classy and informative experience and definitely got that and more. This was one of Laura's newer tours, but it still felt really organized and perfectly... More

What an Experience. Laura was our tour guide for the SWAB tour and more. This was a classy trip and nice for the people who are more about experiencing what the finger lakes have to offer with Spirits, Wine and Beer (SWAB), and less about just drinking. We were late arrivals as we were picked up in Watkins Glenn and... More

No Sour Grapes Here!!!!! If you’re looking for a “Drunken Party Bus,” probably not the tour for you, so no need to read any further. However, if you truly want a “memorable,” experience, “ to be treated like VIPs, not only learn about the wineries, but the total “region” all while having a blast and yes you will get plenty...

We attended "From Farm to Table" which was advertised on several sights as having a farm experience yet on our trip we never went to a farm. Unfortunately this was the part my girlfriend was most excited about, as she's a huge animal lover. This whole part is false advertising, taken from their website: "We start our morning with a...

Our tour with Ryan and Laura was wonderful! These folks know not only wine, but tons of facts about history and the area in general. There were tasty snacks and bottles of water (which we got to keep) in the van to keep us fed and hydrated between wineries. The pairings of different foods with wines were wonderful and well...

We were lucky in that no one else signed up for that day and were treated to a private tour from Rachel. All three stops were wonderful especially Six Mike Creek Winery and our host there Will.the apricot... More

Myself and 8 friends booked the girls weekend get away package and had a great time! We stayed at La Tourelle, had breakfast both days at the Bistro, did the wine tour (with a great tour guide), had spa credits and credits for local restaurants. The entire experience was great and I would recommend it to anyone!

The tour guide was great and very enthusiastic in what she was doing. For the weather we had (cold and rainy) she her best to make our trip memorable. I enjoyed the history of Ithaca and getting to know Cornell. The group I went with also enjoyed very much the history of Cornell. We were all glad to see the... More

My boyfriend booked this at a valentines/birthday weekend in Ithaca and we went on the liquors, beer and wine your around Seneca Lake. Our tour guide, Rachel, picked us up at our hotel (La Tourell) right on time and was so nice and excited to show us around. We picked up a few more people at the Holiday Inn and... More

Thanks so much for the review! We love our winter tours as the slower pace gives us the opportunity to really show off our awesome partners on the wine trail. YES! The wineries, breweries and distilleries in the beautiful Finger Lakes are open year round, and so are we, so if you really want an intimate wine experience in the... More

My friends and I took the Cayuga Wine Trail West tour this past weekend and enjoyed it immensely. Laura, the owner and our tour guide, is really on top of her game.
