Americana Vineyards celebrates Mardi Gras with other Cayuga Lake Wine Trail wineries!

Celebrate Mardi Gras on the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail in the Finger Lakes region of New York State. Scheduled for February 25 thru February 26, all 16 wineries of the wine trail will be celebrating this 15th annual event.

As you travel from winery to winery participating in the Mardi Gras, participants will sample pairings of wine and food. Each participant can collect beads along the way. This two-day event includes a scavenger hunt with a chance to win a case of Cayuga Lake Wine Trail wine. There will also be an opportunity to win a prize at each participating winery.

In addition to the opportunity to taste and learn about Cayuga Lake Wine Trail wines, a number of Grand Prizes will be awarded. These Grand Prizes include:

Tickets for the two-day Mardi Gras event are $35 per person and include: one souvenir wine glass, one wine and food pairing at each winery, three additional wine tastings per winery, one recipe collection, beads at each winery and a chance to win a prize at each winery.
