How Your Day Works
Check in at the ticket booth – Arrive 10 minutes before departure at the Lakeside Trolley Ticket Booth in Watkins Glen. Show your ticket and get your wristband.
Ride with your group to each stop – You’ll stay with the same vehicle and group all day while we handle the driving, timing, and route.
Taste, relax, and explore – Taste, eat, shop, and explore at each stop. Most standard tour stops are around an hour. Behind-the-Scenes Tours include longer stops so there is more time for guided tastings, pairings, production moments, or other special experiences depending on the day.
Return to Watkins Glen – After the final stop, we bring you back to the ticket booth so you can head to dinner, your lodging, or the rest of your evening.
