Behind-the-Scenes Tour (BTS) – Seneca Lake

Behind-the-Scenes Wine Tour – Wednesdays (Seneca Lake)

A brewery-forward day with behind-the-scenes flavor. Expect a vineyard walk, a relaxed lunch stop, and plenty of time for great beer, food, and views—while we handle the driving.

Boarding Location (Important)

• Boarding + check-in: Lakeside Trolley ticket booth in Watkins Glen.

Route & Stops (Wednesdays)

You’ll visit 4 curated stops with a deeper, behind-the-scenes feel.

Typical stops include:

Exact stops, the order of visits, and specific behind-the-scenes experiences may vary by date due to availability, capacity, or operational needs—but the day is always designed to feel balanced, elevated, and un-rushed.
