I had a change of plans for the ladies bday. She really wants to do a wine tour or tasting day type of thing. Sooo I was thinking go to ellicotville on saturday, leave there and head to a hotel somewhere east of ellicotville, get up the next day and do the wine tour, then go back to the hotel. Does anybody have any experience with wineries semi-near buffalo. I suppose we could travel further, she’s already done the wineries over by ithaca though. I appreciate the insight. \<3 will ---

> [@Willybeen](#): > > ok… maybe I’ll bypass the ellicotville thing… hmmm… fry… wanna pm me specifics… that sounds like its more up her alley. We rented a limo from buffalo limo and went to like 5 of them in niagara county. Stopped in for a few minutes at each one, $3 bucks to taste like 5-10 wines at each stop. 10 people, came to $50/person. There’s one that’s got sort of a fall festival atmosphere going on, with doughnuts and goats and pumpkins and whatnot. Taker her there. It was Viscarra Vinyards IIRC.

^^ there you go… I mean, if you could care less about wine and are just looking for a different way to get hammered, then go wherever… but if you accidentally care about taste etc, then you gotta hit up the finger lakes. make sure you go to bully hill if you’re a wine noob, they have a fun presentation… ---

if you’re going to fly to cali for wine, you might as well just go to Europe at that point. ---

Will you’re being a moron. She is into it. Go to the finger lakes. There are something like 300 wineries and a few microbreweries out there. We hit up ~a dozen onthe 7/4 weekend alone. Great experience. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wineries-near-buffalo-i-need-insight-for-a-wine-tour-weekend/56138.md?page=2)
