What To Know Before Booking Finger Lakes Wine Tours

Four Ways To Take Finger Lakes Wine Tours

Four formats share this roster. Crush runs shared small-group vans on three lakes, tastings folded into the price. FLX Chauffeur sells private, customizable days by the group, tastings extra. Fulkerson Winery offers a $9 walk-in tasting, and one premium private full-day tour covers Ithaca. Sort by lake, then by format.

Why Finger Lakes Wine Tours Beat Driving Yourself

Wineries here sit on narrow rural roads between one lake shore and the next, and a full day of tastings leaves nobody eager to drive. Every tour here hands the wheel to someone else.

Shared vans bundle tastings into one price, so the total is clear up front. Private tours cost less per listing but tastings are extra, so compare the full day's spend before choosing.

Seneca Lake: The Deepest Bench Of Options

Seven tours depart for Seneca, more than any other lake. It holds its own sub-AVA, set in 2003, and options run from the $9 Fulkerson tasting to full-day guided outings.

Chardonnay: The Workhorse White

Widely planted, it is one of the region's most significant whites.

Ratings From These Finger Lakes Wine Tours

“Our tour guide, Donna was great and very helpful. She made sure our experience was a good one. The wineries we went to were all great and the servers explained what the wines were and briefly went over their flavor profiles. It was a great experience and I suggest it for anyone.”

Colton_M, operator-listing review of Half-Day Small-Group Tasting

“Beautiful scenery, delicious food, great tasting, and an awesome guide! I would highly recommend this excursion.”

Donna_G, operator-listing review of Half-Day Small-Group Tasting

“Scott was fantastic, he made sure that we had a great trip and also recommended local restaurants for us to test out while on our trip. We followed his recommendations and they were amazing, he truly made the trip a day to remember.”

Victoria_G, operator-listing review of Small-Group Wine Trail Tasting

“It was very nice having a driver on all those ups and downs of the local roads. I’m used to flat terrain, and definitely didn’t want to drive. Our driver, Ron, was local and very informative. He was great to speak with. We visited quite the range of wineries. Some had fantastic wine, and we ended up buying more. Some had pretty awful wine that we couldn’t even finish. However, I’m glad we got a wide range of experiences. Overall, I would do it again.”

Cathryn_B, operator-listing review of Small-Group Wine Trail Tasting

“We loved the beautiful views from the vineyards, the delicious lunch overlooking the grapes vines and the lake, and learning so much about the various wines from Keuka Lake. Our driver, Gary, was very informative and kind.”

Jennifer_B, operator-listing review of Keuka Small-Group Tasting

“My boyfriend and I were celebrating his birthday, and meeting Rayce made the experience even more special! He took us to some amazing wineries and brought so much knowledge, personality, and fun to the day. His recommendations were spot-on, and he truly made our trip one to remember. We can’t recommend the experience with Rayce enough!”

Kristen_R, operator-listing review of South End Tasting Route

“It was terrific! Even though we were asked to switch days, everything went well. Christy was fabulous. This was our 2nd time doing a tour with your company and we do a 3rd.”

Patti, United States, operator-listing review of Small-Group Tasting, Free Cancellation

“Wonderful day of wine tasting. We were part of a group of 3 couples. Our driver Christy, navigated us around the southern end of Seneca Lake. The 4 wineries we visited were quite diverse in there facilities and wines. The samplings of the vineyards appeared to cover all on the varietals available in the area. Some were very special and others not so much. But having the opportunity to sample them all is what a tour like this is all about. Our experience also included a lunch at a delightful winery with multiple entree options. Truly a full day experience I recommend for all.”
