Winery Cruise

School's Out Charters is now offering private winery cruises aboard their boat all summer long. We will take up to six passengers on a leisurely six hour cruise including sightseeing and 3-4 winery stops. You may also customize the trip by choosing fewer wineries or a restaurant stop to fit your needs and wallet. This is the ultimate way to enjoy the wineries! No crowded cattle buses, no traffic, just a leisurely cruise on the lake combined with tastings at some of the best wineries in the Finger Lakes. See our Price List for more information...and, as always, you may customize your trip to fit your needs. Contact us with your request and we will prepare a custom quote for you.
