FINGER LAKES WINE TRAIN EXPERIENCE

Step aboard for a 90-minute round trip departing from Waterloo, where the rhythm of the rails meets the flavor of the Finger Lakes.

This relaxed, scenic journey pairs vineyard views with a thoughtfully curated tasting experience. Each guest will enjoy a charcuterie box alongside a four-wine tasting flight, featuring selections from standout Seneca Lake wineries, including Boundary Breaks, Lakewood, Anthony Road, and Two Brothers Winery in partnership with the Seneca Lake Wine Trail.

As the train winds through the landscape, rolling vineyards and open water unfold just beyond your window — a moving postcard of one of New York’s most celebrated wine regions.

Guests will travel aboard a curated fleet of restored mid-century passenger cars, offering a range of accommodations from Premium and First Class with options for private tables and suites. Built in the 1940s and 1950s, these historic cars blend vintage character with modern comfort, providing an experience that feels equal parts nostalgic and refined.

A selection of additional wines, beer, and light refreshments will be available for purchase onboard.

Wine Train excursions operate regularly from late May through September, with departures offered most Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Typical departure times include early afternoon runs, with additional late-morning and mid-afternoon options on weekends. Select midweek departures are also available throughout August. This is a 21+ experience.
