Our family used to have this beautiful Sheltie that we named Belle. If we were leaving to go out somewhere, you could see her anxiety building. Before you’ve even started your car engine, sure enough she would have made herself visible…usually via the window sill. As any pet owner can tell you, leaving your best friend at home is worse than lawn cleanup duty.
Sixteen wineries along the Cayuga Wine Trail know exactly how us pet lovers feel and are extending an open invitation to wine lovers and all dog breeds to the 4th Annual Greyhound Wine Tour & Friends Event. Thursday, July 23rd through Sunday, July 26th you can enjoy wine tastings, cook-outs, seminars and lawn concerts. Meanwhile your dog will be busy lapping up doggie treats from the wineries, enjoying the ice cream social as much as you will and playing with other dogs at the Allan H. Treman Dog Park in Ithaca on Saturday. In addition to several scheduled events, you will get to see part of the Finger Lakes Wine Country Painted Barrels exhibit.
As a guest of the event you will receive a free wine glass, a Cayuga wine trail gift and recipes to take home. Your dog will leave with a new bandana and possibly a beautiful glass dog dish donated by The Corning Museum of Glass. You also have the chance to win a stay at the Hampton Inn in Ithaca. If you act early and purchase tickets now, they are only $25.00 plus the cost of sales tax and a small handling fee. Tickets the day of the event are $30.00. Just by taking part of the event you are helping animals across New York State. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to rescue groups and SPCA’s. If you are a wine and dog lover, this is a perfect opportunity to go out and meet new people with the same passions and a great escape to Finger Lakes Wine Country!
