What does choosing a winery mean when buying tickets?
When you purchase tickets, selecting a winery simply means choosing your starting location for the event. That winery is where you’ll check in, receive your event materials, and begin your day on the trail.
From there, you’re free to visit the participating wineries in any order you choose, at your own pace, during event hours. All starting wineries offer the same event experience — the choice just helps us manage traffic and ensure a smooth check-in for everyone.
Tickets are digital
All tickets for Cayuga Lake Wine Trail events are digital.
After purchase, tickets will be delivered via email or text message (based on the option selected at checkout). Apple users may also add their tickets to Apple Wallet for easy access.
Each guest receives one unique QR code per person (for example, a Couples Ticket includes two separate QR codes). Each QR code must be scanned at every winery you visit to gain admission.
Please be prepared to present your digital ticket(s) at each winery on your phone — via Apple Wallet, the original PDF, or a screenshot of the QR code. You may also print the tickets at home to present for scanning.
