Seneca Lake Wine & Beer Tours – West Shore
On our Seneca Lake Wine & Beer Tours – West Shore, we visit the western side of the widest and deepest of the Finger Lakes. The rolling hills around the lake provide stunning views of sun-kissed vineyards and fertile farmland. With our door-to-door pickup and drop-off, you can sit back and enjoy the ride – and sample the beverages – without the worry.
The Finger Lakes are known for their award winning Rieslings, but there are over 600 varieties of wines grown and produced in the region. Whether you like reds or whites, still or sparkling, or even if you prefer beer to wine, there’s something delicious waiting for you!
Tasting fees are not included, so you have complete flexibility: a flight, a glass, or sharing. Bring your own lunch and snacks, stop at a local cafe, or order a bite while you’re sampling your beverages. We’ll let you know which venues offer food and which allow picnics.
If you have certain places you’d like to stop, just let us know and we’ll tailor your experience to fit! Not all venues are open every day. But no matter where we go, our Seneca Lake wine and beer tours – west shore are always fun! Book your tour today!
