Our first day of wine tasting will focus on Seneca Lake. Our first tasting will be at 10:30 AM at Hermann J Wiemer Winery, and then on to Kemmeter Wines. Right next to the winery is Sans Dumplings, where we will stop for lunch and enjoy gourmet dumplings along with the wines. 

Next stop, Red Tail Ridge Winery, to enjoy their sparkling wines and beautiful tasting room views. Our final stop will be F.L.X. Provisions, where we will get an introduction to all the Finger Lakes region has to offer from ciders, beers, wines, and artisan foods. 

The evening will be free for members to explore downtown Geneva. 

Day 2 of wine tasting will take us to some of the most historic wineries in the region and some of the most well-known up-and-comers. We'll start at Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery, founded by the pioneering winemaker of the region. We'll get to taste his legacy in his original historic home. 

From there, our tour of the European influences on the region continue at newcomer Domaine LeSeurre Winery. Founded by Céline and Sébastien LeSeurre, they bring 6 generations of wine making experience in Champagne to New York state. Renowned Weis Wines is right next door so why not stop there for a glass of wine with our lucnh? 

Last but not least, Ravines Winery. A longtime friend of Birch Road, members who attended their Chicago tasting still talk about the Reislings they enjoyed! 

The night will finish with a good-bye dinner with all our new friends in Geneva. 

Sunday is your Fun-Day!

We have no plans for Sunday, so it is up to you. More wine tasting? Brewery Visit? Time to head home? The choice is yours.

Our trip is timed to coincide with the IMSA Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen, so racecar lovers can head to Watkins Glen and catch the final day of racing.
