The Perfect Addition to Our Wine Country Birthday Trip!
My boyfriend and I were celebrating his birthday, and meeting Rayce made the experience even more special! He took us to some amazing wineries and brought so much knowledge, personality, and fun to the day. His recommendations were spot-on, and he truly made our trip one to remember. We can’t recommend the experience with Rayce enough!
Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you so much for the review and your kind works about Rayce. I'm so glad you had a great touring our Finger Lakes wineries. We hope to see you again on your next wine tour!

What better way to celebrate a milestone anniversary than with a delightful Finger Lakes wine tour. Our Crush host and driver, Ron, was friendly and knowledgeable. We toured four area wineries and enjoyed a lunch overlooking Seneca Lake and the vineyards. Highly recommended!

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Seneca Lake South Wine Tastings Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ithaca.
How much does Seneca Lake South Wine Tastings Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $265 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 Seneca Lake South Wine Tastings Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Seneca Lake South Wine Tastings Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 69 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Ithaca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Seneca Lake South Wine Tastings Tour?
+
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 Seneca Lake South Wine Tastings Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Seneca Lake South Wine Tastings Tour?
+
Around 24 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Seneca Lake South Wine Tastings Tour 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, Finger Lakes NY: Ithaca-Watkins Glen Self-Guided Audio Tour, Wonderful Watkins Glen Scavenger Hunt. 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.
