Each winery will provide a nice welcome and treats for the hounds and food pairings and wine for their human companions... At most wineries you can bring your dogs right inside with you!

All vendor fees and $5 from the Grapehound Wine Tour tickets go directly to greyhound adoption in New York through Greyhound Adoption of Greater Rochester and in Pennsylvania through Keystone Greyhounds (centered in the Harrisburg area).

On Sunday, July 29th, greyhound owners are encouraged to participate in a walk to the falls at Taughannock Falls State Park starting at 9am.
