How Your Day Works

  1. Check in at the ticket booth – Arrive 10 minutes before departure at the Lakeside Trolley Ticket Booth in Watkins Glen. If you are planning your winery day from town, our Watkins Glen wine tour transportation guide explains what to expect before you book.

  2. Ride with your group around Seneca Lake – You’ll stay with the same vehicle and group all day while we handle the driving, timing, and route.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
