New York State's various wine trails are busy places year-round. Take as just one example the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail's upcoming 11th annual "Mardi Gras" event.
It is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, February 9-10.
Visitors will go from winery to winery to receive specialty Mardi Gras beads and a chance to pick up a lucky coin worth instant pries as well as a scavenger hunt that will pay off with a sampler case of wines from Trail members.
Those visitors will be able to begin at any participating winery on the Trail, where they will be given a wine glass for sampling. Wine and food pairings and recipe cards -- plus beads, of course -- will be handed out at each stop.
Tickets will be available by calling (800) 684-5217, or picked up at any Wegmans grocery store.
Members of the Trail include:
- Americana Vineyards
- Bellwether Hard Cider
- Cayuga Ridge Estate Winery
- Cobblestone Farm Winery
- Goose Watch Winery
- Hosmer Winery
- King Ferry Winery
- Knapp Winery
- Long Point Winery
- Lucas Vineyards
