Learn from an expert birder, meet the Hunt family, enjoy self-guided wine tasting
From Hunt Country Vineyards
Join us for a delightful day of nature, birds, and wine at the beautiful Hunt Country Vineyards. Expert guide, Alyssa Johnson, a local Finger Lakes naturalist and seasoned birder, will lead you on a leisurely walk through the vineyard grounds in search of returning migratory birds.
Whether you’re an experienced birdwatcher or a nature newcomer, this is the perfect opportunity to connect with the natural world and enjoy the stunning landscape of the Finger Lakes.
As we wander along a scenic gravel farm road, we’ll listen for the sweet songs of warblers, thrushes, vireos, and other forest-dwelling birds, while keeping an eye out for grassland species like bobolinks, meadowlarks, and kestrels. Hunt Country Vineyards is a haven for birds of all kinds, and Alyssa will share fascinating insights on the diverse species that call the area home.
The morning will start with a “Meet & Greet” with Suzanne Hunt, co-owner and sustainability professional.
She will share some Hunt Country history and info on our sustainability practices.
After the walk, you’ll be treated to a self-guided wine tasting, sampling five wines. We encourage you to bring a picnic to enjoy with your tasting on the Hunt Country grounds. There will be local picnic snacks and wines by the glass/bottle available for purchase in the tasting room as well. It’s a perfect way to unwind, chat about the birds we spotted, and relax after the stroll.
