Water to Wine Tours offers a distinctive way to experience New York’s Finger Lakes: a private cruise across Cayuga Lake with winery stops along the way. Since 1999, their U.S. Coast Guard–licensed captains have welcomed thousands ...
We went on a winery tour for a bachelorette party and we had a blast! Skip took all the logistics of trying to organize a winery tour, he answered all my questions before we booked. It was about the same cost for the boat tour as it would have been for a tour via bus/shuttle. This way we all got to be together and had a great view the whole trip. Skip called the morning of our tour to give me a run down of the weather and the plan for the day. We were picked up at our rental house with a dock which was fabulous. Skip was very knowledgeable about all the wineries and had recommendations for what to try at each location. We didn't have reservations at the wineries, but it worked out fine, just a little waiting at our first stop for such a large group. He does call up to the wineries to let them know the group size when we arrive as they all require transportation from the dock to the winery. We were able to go to 3 wineries during out tour. Skip had a cooler onboard with bottled water. It was great for storing our snacks, wine and lunch. He also had garbage bags which was appreciated. The boat has a covered area which is nice for staying out of the sun...and the rain and wind that we got on our way home from the last winery. Would definitely recommend giving Skip a call!
