Cayuga Wine Trail

July 24, 25, 26 & 27, 2008
Grapehound Wine Tour
The Cayuga Wine Trail is hosting its third annual celebration of greyhound adoption, The Grapehound Wine Tour. This unique wine tasting event promotes greyhound adoption in the region and brings together greyhounds and their owners with visitors who have never considered adopting a greyhound. Attendees will receive a commemorative greyhound wine glass and enjoy wine tasting and food pairings at each winery throughout the weekend.

Starting with the welcome at Montezuma Winery on Thursday, July 24th, this regional wine event has cookouts, concerts, greyhound vendors and doggie ice cream socials. On Friday start the wine event at either King Ferry Winery or Long Point Winery on the east side of Cayuga Lake. At 5:00pm that day join us at Knapp Winery for a glass of wine and a few hors d’oeuvres and an evening concert under the stars at Buttonwood Winery. On Saturday and Sunday the wine event continues at the west side wineries from Montezuma Winery in Seneca Falls at the north to Six Mile Creek Vineyard in Ithaca at the south. A walk to beautiful Taughannock Falls on Sunday morning and a doggie ice cream social is planned. The event winds up late Sunday afternoon with the final concert of the weekend at Americana Vineyards, so plan to stay through Monday. This weekend offers a little something for everyone.

Participants will be eligible to win an overnight stay at the Hampton Inn in Ithaca just by leaving their wine tasting card with us. This event is primarily for greyhounds, their siblings and humans, but we'll be glad to provide a doggie treat for pet owners who have another breed of dog at home.

Ticket price is $25.00 per person with a portion of every ticket sold donated to greyhound adoption in New York and New Jersey.

Tickets can be purchased at any Wegmans store through their That's the Ticket Program at their Customer Service desk.

Thursday, 6:00pm-9:00pm, Friday Noon-5:00pm, Saturday 10:00 - 6:00pm, Sunday Noon - 5:00pm
