Sips and Spells
Saturday, October 31, 2026 | 10 AM–5 PM | $65 per person
Come for the wine. Stay for the magic.
Step into a moody, fall-inspired day where wine meets a touch of magic on the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail.
Sips & Spells is a limited-capacity, curated experience designed to celebrate the shift from harvest season into the cozier months ahead. Throughout the day, guests will travel winery to winery enjoying enchanting tasting experiences, seasonal touches, and subtle witchy elements woven throughout the trail.
Tickets are $65 per person, or $60 for guests choosing the non-alcoholic “potion” experience.
Each ticket includes:
• A gathering bag to collect your seasonal goodies
• A spellbinding souvenir wine glass
• A curated item from each winery to build your own autumn-inspired collection
• A bewitching wine tasting experience at every stop — featuring themed tastings, potion-inspired cocktails, or a mix of both
• Live roaming performances by Witches of Water’s Edge
Guests will fill their gathering bags throughout the day with thoughtfully selected take-home items such as dried herbs, candles, spices, tea blends, crystals, and other cozy seasonal elements. The result is a personalized collection inspired by the atmosphere, scents, and magic of fall.
Guests choosing the non-alcoholic experience will enjoy handcrafted “potion” mocktails at each winery in place of wine tastings, while still receiving the full event experience, souvenir glass, collectible items, and seasonal goodies throughout the trail.
Throughout the event, guests will also encounter live performances from Witches of Water’s Edge, a local performance dance troupe whose work supports advocacy and awareness efforts benefiting Safe Harbors of the Finger Lakes. As part of this partnership, $10 from every ticket sold will directly support their fundraising and advocacy efforts for survivors of domestic violence.
With its moody autumn aesthetic, magical details, and thoughtfully curated experiences, Sips & Spells offers an elevated and unforgettable way to celebrate the season along the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail.
