WATKINS GLEN – The Finger Lakes Wine Festival, originally scheduled for July 9-11, has been canceled due to New York's COVID-19 guidelines, track officials said Friday.
The popular wine tasting event is now scheduled to be held next July 8-10, 2022 at Watkins Glen International.
“To postpone the Finger Lakes Wine Festival for a second consecutive year is extremely disappointing not only for us, but for our many guests who look forward to this annual event,” WGI President Michael Printup said. “Unfortunately, given New York state’s current guidelines, we would not be able to host enough guests to make this event a success. We look forward to the pandemic outlook improving and to returning in 2022 to showcase the best New York wines.”
The event in the past has featured more than 80 wineries pouring 600 varieties of wine, live music, a brewers' garden and more.

Printup said by May 5, ticketholders will automatically receive a credit for the full amount of their Finger Lakes Wine Festival purchase, plus an additional 20 percent of the total, in their Watkins Glen International account.
The credit can be used in a single transaction any time during the remainder of the 2021 season and the entire 2022 season for a Watkins Glen International event, subject to availability, Printup said.
WGI expects to hold a full racing schedule this year, with the centerpiece NASCAR weekend being held Aug. 6-8. All three NASCAR series will race that weekend, the Camping World Truck Series, XFINITY Series and Cup Series.
