2026 Riesling Camp

May 18, 2026- May 21, 2026

*NEW* Applications are now open and will close on March 10th, with participants notified by late March. Space is limited, and early application is encouraged. Tap here to apply. 

Riesling Camp is a personal, hands-on educational experience kept intentionally small, offering wine professionals direct access to the Finger Lakes’ producers, vineyards, and wines. The program provides an immersive opportunity to engage deeply with the region through on-the-ground experiences and meaningful dialogue with industry leaders.

Thanks to the generous support of our Finger Lakes wineries and program sponsors, hotel accommodations, meals, and all on-the-ground programming are fully included. Participants are responsible for their own travel to and from the Finger Lakes.

The Finger Lakes Wine Alliance is pleased to offer a limited number of Riesling Camp Travel Awards to help broaden access to the program. Wine professionals and students from underrepresented communities in wine who meet eligibility requirements are encouraged to apply in the final section of the application.
