Loved my sunset tour w Captain Mike and Bianconi tours. I loved the stories and history from a long time resident family on Lake Cayuga. Got the true scoop. He made history come alive. Can’t wait to come back for a wine tour.
Great way to spend an afternoon! Matt was an excellent Captain! He was knowledgeable of the area and gave some interesting facts. He was gentle on the water and docking. We went to 3 wineries and had a great time at each. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a different wine tasting experience.
Sunset Cruise: Great evening on the lake with a beautiful sunset. Matt the owner and tour guide is easy going and very knowledgeable. He gives a lot of history and facts about the area while cruising Cayuga lake. I would recommend it for everyone. Next time I will try the wine tasting tour.
What a fun afternoon! We had a blast cruising on the lake, made new friends, and got to try lots of wines without having to drive anywhere. The cheese plate was nice quality and filling and we much appreciated the water bottles stocked on the boat on the very hot day we did the tour. Definitely recommend for a unique way to see the finger lakes wineries!
WOW! My girlfriends and I decided on a last minute trip to the Finger Lakes and on a whim I booked this cruise thinking it'll get us to a few wineries and I wouldn't have to drive them around while they had fun. While that was absolutely true, it was so much more. Matt was AMAZING! He entertained us, knew all there was to know about what to do in the area and put up with 5 moms letting loose for a quick getaway (Translation - we were loud and danced A LOT!) Matt and the tour were BY FAR THE BEST part of our trip. So much so, we're headed back in October and already have our wine tour booked! If you're looking for a fun filled day on gorgeous Cayuga lake, look no further than Matt and Bianconi Tours! You won't regret it.
Matt is so great at reading the audience and what the people want. The tours are great! I did the sunset tours, and it was beautiful, and we learned a lot! Highly recommend:)
Captain Matt was excellent! He was extremely personable and kind. We did two tours, the history tour & the sunset tour and both were excellent. Matt could answer any questions we had. He made us laugh & had good conversation. The water was beautiful. His boat is very nice. It was a great experience, its not a generic experience, extremely unique! I highly recommend Matt!
My group had a lovely boat tour of wineries with captain Matt. He gave us a bit of history about the area and had all of our tastings set up in advance. We truly felt like VIPs on this beautiful boat and when we were welcomed to each winery. We had plenty of time to enjoy our tastings and pick out our bottles to take home before heading back to the boat after each stop. We were excited to learn that Matt can provide rides from a private dock if arranged and we're already looking into booking this for next year. Such a relaxing way to enjoy the lake and the local wineries!
Matt’s tour is second to none. Great boat, great knowledge of the area. This is the ideal way to experience the wonderful vineyards of the Cayuga Lake region. About three hours in total and makes for the perfect afternoon.
This was our first time wine tasting in New York and Matt was a great host. Very professional, hospitable, and had a lot of knowledge about the history of the lake and it's surroundings. Matt was prepared for the rain showers came and when the rain came, it didn't stop us. It only added to the fun. We were well taken care of by the folks at the winery and by Matt. I would definitely recommend this tour to others even if rain is in the forecast. Great job! We'll be back and we're bringing friends.
Bianconi Tours should be your first consideration when booking a wine tour by boat in the Finger Lakes region! Matt, the captain and owner, is a fantastically personable and knowledgeable guide. From the moment we stepped on the dock, we felt welcome. Matt took us to three wineries and each one was unique and charming with fantastic wines. Just book it!
Our Family group of 5, had a delightful 1 hour “Historical “ boat tour of Aurora. Matt was informative, entertaining and very congenial. Highly recommended.
We loved our winery tour by boat. Matt was extrememly friendly and proud to share information about Aurora and Cayuga Lake. We visited three vineyards where we did wine tastings and of course purchased bottles of wine to bring home. We purchased the snacks offered when we booked the tour. We highly recommend this tour.
Had a phenomenal time out on the water going for a sunset cruise. Great conversations and stories, Matt was full of information and was very entertaining. Highly recommend it for group that wants a relaxed evening out on Cayuga Lake.
Fabulous time! We took a winery tour cruise, and it was such a wonderful experience. Matt is a great guy and kept us entertained the whole trip. He even made sure we had transportation to the wineries from the boat. 10/10, would go again and recommend!
We had a wonderful time with Matt on his four-hour winery tour by boat. I'd highly recommend it. We enjoyed great conversation with Matt, learned a lot about Aurora and Cayuga Lake, and visited three nice vineyards. Matt took care of everything, including providing bottled water, ice, and coolers to chill our wine. We can't wait to go back to Aurora and take another tour with Matt.
Matt was so knowledgeable about Aurora and the Finger Lakes. We had an amazing time on the sunset cruise. I can’t wait to join him again for the wine tour! Thanks Matt!
