The Seneca Lake Wine Trail's events season is in high gear, starting off with our annual Bargain Bash! Unlike our other events, this week long sales event does not require tickets. Think of Bargain Bash as being like a big, Trail-wide spring cleaning, garage sale!
Participating wineries take the opportunity to clean out their inventory and drop prices on select items consisting of everything from wine, to wine glasses, clothes and other retail items. This event will be held January 10-19, 2009. If you are on our mailing list, you'll also receive a postcard once per year that includes half a dozen coupons that can be used during this event. If you did not already receive this postcard, sign up to be on our mailing list and we'll do our best to get you a postcard before Bargain Bash starts up.
