Food & Wine Pairing Experience

Step into a curated Food & Wine Pairing Experience at Red Tail Ridge Winery, where each course and each glass work in harmony.

This experience brings together seasonal ingredients, thoughtful technique, and wines grown right here in the Finger Lakes. Each pairing highlights balance, texture, and flavor, creating a journey that unfolds course by course.

Our goal is simple: to show how food and wine can elevate each other in ways that feel both exciting and natural.

As we head into the season, food service will also be available in the Pavilion beginning in June. Guests with pets are welcome to be served on the Veranda and in the Pavilion, though we’re unable to accommodate pets in the Main Tasting Room.

Starting April 24th, 2026.

  • Multi-course tasting menu - 3 bites w/ reservation, menu available a-la-carte
