Bacon-themed food and wine pairings will take center stage when a popular tasting event returns to the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail later this month.
“Bacon on the Lakein” is scheduled for March 21–22 at wineries along Cayuga Lake, offering visitors bacon-inspired dishes paired with regional wines.
Each participating winery will serve a different bacon-based pairing designed to complement its wines. Menu items include dishes such as bacon cheddar cheeseburger bake, maple bacon ice cream, chicken fried bacon with maple gravy, candied bacon brownies, bacon barbecue baked beans, and BLT pasta salad.
Guests can travel between wineries at their own pace during the weekend event, with tickets including a food and wine pairing at each stop as well as additional tastings.
Participating wineries include Buttonwood Grove Winery, Cayuga Ridge Estate Winery, Hosmer Winery, Lucas Vineyards, Montezuma Winery, Sheldrake Point Winery, Six Eighty Cellars, Six Mile Creek Vineyard, Swedish Hill Winery, and Thirsty Owl Wine Co.
