Light-hearted and a lot of fun! Small groups of people walk up to a wine-tasting counter and a server gives you a card with a list of wines. You indicate what wines you would like to taste and your server tells you a little about the wine (type of grapes, aged in an oak or metal cask, sweet, dry, etc.) while he pours a small amount in your Grapehound Wine Tour glass. As you taste the wines, you get to know the people around you and your server. When you’re done, you can buy a bottle or two of wine you like, go outside and walk the grounds, enjoy the views, relax in the shade at a table on the winery’s patio, or move on to the next winery. (You still have 15 to go!) You set the pace.

Next Year's Grapehound Tour TBD



GG was there this summer! Our booth handed out info about our group. Deb Hollm, our "tattoo specialist", was there and enjoyed the wine, the hounds and the people!

2008's greyhound event “Grapehound Wine Tour” co-sponsored with Keystone Greyhounds of Central Pennsylvania was a huge success with over 500 people and 400 dogs attending throughout the weekend of July 26th, 27th & 28th. The weekend began with a Welcoming Gathering at the two wineries on the East side of Cayuga Lake, King Ferry Winery and Long Point Winery. On Saturday and Sunday the west side wineries hosted the event with vendors selling everything from T-shirts, collars, and even clocks. Gigi (pictured below) is taking a well deserved snooze!  There were 8 different Adoption agencies represented at the event and part of the ticket proceeds will be donated on their behalf. The ice cream social at Cayuga Ridge Estate was a huge success with yogurt donated by Forever Home Greyhound Adoption of Middleburgh, NY for the dogs and heavenly ice cream for their owners. Another ice cream social was held on Sunday at Taughannock Falls State Park hosted by the Northeast Chapter of Greyhound Adoptions of Florida. This event is certainly geared towards greyhounds and their owners but what a remarkable sight.

 Join us next time to see these docile, majestic animals!
