About Us

Our Journey Begins

Nestled in the heart of the Finger Lakes region, Lakeside Trolley was born from a serendipitous exploration turned visionary solution. Founders, Katrina and Joe ventured into this beautiful wine country with dreams of starting a glamping business. However, fate had other plans. Surprised by the lack of public transportation options amidst an area celebrated for its wineries, we encountered a challenge that sparked an idea. Thus, Lakeside Trolley was conceived—not just as a means of transport but as a novel, fun, and affordable way to connect visitors with the region's finest wineries, breweries, and local businesses.

Our Mission

At Lakeside Trolley, our mission is simple yet profound:
"Enrich our community by connecting visitors to hand-picked destinations & local businesses."
We are committed to ensuring safety, delivering exceptional customer service, and sharing our extensive knowledge of the region. Our core values guide every tour, every interaction, and every decision we make.

Expertise and Experience

Our team, led by knowledgeable trolley drivers, is the heartbeat of our operation. With years of experience in the Finger Lakes region, we pride ourselves on our deep understanding of each establishment's ambiance, offerings, and products. This insider knowledge allows us to craft the perfect day out for our guests, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience at every stop.

Community and Sustainability

Lakeside Trolley is transportation service and a community advocate, dedicated to making the Finger Lakes region a better place for all. By providing a safe, reliable means of exploring the area's wineries and attractions, we help keep the roads safe while boosting local tourism. Our commitment extends beyond the trolley rides—we actively participate in community outreach programs, aiming to uplift and strengthen the ties that bind us to this beautiful region.

Looking Ahead

As we look to the future, Lakeside Trolley is excited to expand our services, including facilitating transportation from lodgings to downtown Watkins Glen and beyond. Our vision is to continue growing, reaching more establishments, and enhancing our offerings to provide even more memorable experiences for our guests.
