Wine, dine, and learn.

Each day features morning and afternoon seminars, we lunch at a local winery, then enjoy dinner at a local restaurant in downtown Geneva.

On Saturday check out the evening street concert, and we’re hosting after-party events Sunday and Monday evening.

The Grand Tasting

An afternoon of exceptional wines at the lakefront! Winemakers and principals representing over 30 producers from cool climate regions around the world (Germany, Austria, US, Canada, Australia, and more) will be visiting the Finger Lakes and presenting their portfolios.

Join Us in Geneva, New York

A historic little town right at the top of Seneca Lake, Geneva is the ideal central location to get to most wineries. We’ve got great drinks, restaurants, idyllic lake walks, and a quirky cast of local characters.

2023 Featured Speakers

Take a look at the incredible industry standouts who’ll be joining us in discussion this year.
