5. Stop 5

   Cane & VIne Wine Cellars Mike and Jayne Gibbs, a husband-and-wife team, opened Can & Vine Wine Cellars in 2025, expanding their portfolio alongside Toast Winery on the south end of Seneca Lake. One wine Mike is particularly excited about is his bone-dry Cayuga White. While this varietal is often produced in a sweeter style, the 2023 vintage was so exceptional when made bone-dry that he chose to bottle it. He also enjoys crafting pétillant naturel (pét-nat) wines. Can & Vine will offer a Dry Sparkling Rosé of Marquette made in the pét-nat style.
