Traveler reviews
2 verified traveler reviews for Private Full-Day Cultural Wine Tour in Historic Ithaca. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Great Time in The Finger Lakes New York
The trees were in full fall color. It was beautiful. Sampled wines at so many great wineries, there were so many more that we didn't get to. We found some great places to eat, like The Elf in The Oak in Burdett, The Red Brick Pub, and Little Italy in Seneca Falls, Pudgie's Pizza in Watkins Glen. Watkins Glen State Park Gorge trail was a great hike. I drove the Glen! - Got to drive 3 laps at speed on the Watkins Glen International race track. And it only cost $30. Amazing experience!
Response from the operator: Our staff always enjoys reading reviews such as the one you left us! It lets us know we are making customers happy and doing something right! Thanks for 5 stars!

Nice to see the wineries which were a part of this full day tour
I was in the US on a trip last month, from my country Italy and I saw this 1 day full tour and it included a tour of some wineries. Coming from Italy, which is famous for it's fine wines, I opted in for this Grape Escapes Wine full day tour and I really enjoyed it. It is fascinating to see how wine is made in the US, has a different approach than how it is in Italy and I got a few new insights. For wine lovers, this is a tour package that will leave you with sweet memories.
Response from the operator: Delighted to hear that you, as a wine enthusiast from Italy, enjoyed our Grape Escapes. Cheers to many more amazing experiences!

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Full-Day Cultural Wine Tour in Historic Ithaca: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ithaca.
How much does Private Full-Day Cultural Wine Tour in Historic Ithaca cost?
+
Prices start at $1479 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ithaca usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Full-Day Cultural Wine Tour in Historic Ithaca take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ithaca is not rushed.
Is Private Full-Day Cultural Wine Tour in Historic Ithaca worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Ithaca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Full-Day Cultural Wine Tour in Historic Ithaca?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Private Full-Day Cultural Wine Tour in Historic Ithaca suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Full-Day Cultural Wine Tour in Historic Ithaca?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ithaca can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ithaca and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Full-Day Cultural Wine Tour in Historic Ithaca start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ithaca within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ithaca?
+
Ithaca, NY packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Ithaca by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Ithaca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Keuka Lake Winery Tour, Seneca Lake South Wine Tastings Tour, Finger Lakes NY: Ithaca-Watkins Glen Self-Guided Audio Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ithaca?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Ithaca, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ithaca?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
