Relaxation before Riesling Revival
Begin your day at the Welcome Center with breakfast bites, coffee, lake views, meditation by the water, and a moment to recharge before heading into seminars.
Seminar Sessions
We will host back-to-back seminars at two locations, Dr. Konstantin Frank and Heron Hill, featuring outstanding moderators, an array of Riesling and cool climate wines, and a range of topics to get excited about.
Expect a non-stop tour de force of education, conversation, and discovery.
Evening ‘Riesling Crawl’
We are switching it up for our fourth iteration of the Riesling Crawl.
We are pairing the extraordinary subregions of the Finger Lakes with some of the most celebrated Riesling-producing regions in the world. This experience offers a unique opportunity to feature exceptional wines from globally renowned regions while drawing attention to the geographic diversity and distinctive character of Finger Lakes wines.
For example, West Seneca may be paired with Austria, East Seneca with the Mosel, and Keuka with regions such as Nahe, Franken, or Baden.
Along the way, guests will also have the chance to discover remarkable producers and wineries from both our region and abroad.
Official locations and partnerships will be announced soon.
After Party
It’s not time to go home yet.
