FLXCURSION 2026

Hosted by acclaimed wine writer and critic David Schildknecht, Austria Uncorked: A FLXcursion Producer-Led Wine Experience at Torrey Park brings an Austrian-focused producer lineup to Torrey Park for a special evening of wine, food, and conversation. Settle into Torrey Park’s warm, refined dining room for a multi-course dinner designed to complement each pour. Guests will be guided through the evening with insight into the wines, producers, and stories behind the Austrian selections. Expect thoughtful pairings, lively conversation, exceptional hospitality, and a one-night-only wine experience at Torrey Park.

This summer dinner is a collaboration between Red Tail Ridge, FLXcursion and Chef Matt Hummel. It's going to be an experience like no other with food to match the beauty of a variety of Rieslings. With the breadth of styles and expressions of this varietal that is so beloved in the Finger Lakes, the menu is designed to highlight the versatility of Riesling. Join us in this celebration of the grape that our region has become known for, while exploring what producers from another famous Riesling region do with this noble grape.
Please contact ahead of purchase about any dietary restrictions you may have. We typically can accomodate, but we would want to make sure we are able before you purchase your meal. Thank you.

We will team up with our sponsorship partners Skurnik and Wegmans for a two-part luncheon experience.
The afternoon will begin with a curated cheese and wine pairing, featuring exceptional charcuterie selections from Wegmans alongside wines presented by our Michelin-recognized sommelier team.
This will be followed by a catered luncheon paired with standout wines from the Skurnik portfolio.

A beloved staple of FLXcursion, our Farewell Dinner at Kindred Fare brings the conference to a thoughtful, celebratory, and unforgettable close, highlighting the warmth, hospitality, and vibrant culinary spirit of the Finger Lakes.
Join us as we reflect on another remarkable conference, raise a glass to new connections and shared experiences, and celebrate all that makes this community and this event so special.
