How it Works

Enjoy visiting participating wineries, breweries, restaurants, and tasting rooms along Seneca Lake.

This is a self-led traveling event. Start at your selected business, receive your planting pot, and begin collecting your seeds as you go.

At each stop:
• Enjoy a fresh, spring-inspired bite
• Sip a craft beverage pairing or sample
• Receive a unique flower seed packet
• Get your ticket stamped

Think vibrant salads, citrus, herbs, garden vegetables, spring pastas, bright sauces, and fresh flavors.

At your final stop, cast your vote for the dish that wowed you most. One establishment will take home the Seeds, Sips and Bites trophy!
