Sips and Spells: A Halloween Day on America's First Wine Trail — October 31 on Cayuga Lake

Halloween on America's oldest wine trail is not a costume party — it's a full-trail collaboration. Sips and Spells transforms the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail into a moveable experience on October 31, with each participating winery offering themed tastings and potion-inspired cocktails. Every ticket comes with a souvenir glass, a gathering bag filled with dried herbs, candles, spices, tea blends, and crystals, and live performances by Witches of Water's Edge woven between stops. Ten dollars from every ticket goes to Safe Harbors of the Finger Lakes, supporting domestic violence advocacy in the community that makes the wine.

Date: Saturday, October 31, 2026 Time: 10:00 AM–5:00 PM Location: Multiple wineries, Cayuga Lake Wine Trail Cost: $65 per person ($60 non-alcoholic)

Tickets available at cayugawinetrail.com. Plan 3–5 winery stops along Route 89 on the west shore of Cayuga Lake.
