Pour One For the Brave

A Wine Trail Salute to First Responders & Veterans
October 25 – November 16

Join us as we raise a glass to the heroes among us.

From October 25 to November 16, the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail is honoring first responders and veterans with a heartfelt promotion: Pour One for the Brave. Each participating winery is offering something special as a thank-you—from complimentary tastings and wine specials to unique gifts and discounts. Every stop is a new way to show our appreciation.

Who Qualifies:
Active, retired, and volunteer members of the military or emergency services. Simply present valid identification at each winery—this can include a military ID, VA card, DD214, or department-issued First Responder ID.

Giving Back:
We’re proud to support the Gary Sinise Foundation, an organization dedicated to serving and honoring our nation’s defenders, veterans, first responders, and their families.
Select wineries will feature donation jars at checkout, and limited-edition Pour One for the Brave stickers or magnets will be available for purchase throughout the promotion—100% of proceeds will go directly to the foundation.

Come explore the trail, enjoy incredible wines, and help us celebrate and support those who give so much.
