Mardi Gras dances its procession along the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail Saturday and Sunday.
Participants will receive Lady Luck's specially marked coins for exciting prizes and a string of Mardi Gras beads at each of 16 wineries along the trail with a New Orleans theme.
Wine and food pairings as well as grand prizes will be offered to weekenders. Prizes will be provided by Barrister's Bed and Breakfast in Seneca Falls, Finger Lakes Winery Tours in Geneva, Taverni Banfi at the Statler Hotel in Ithaca or a wine refrigerator with a 16-bottle sampling of the wine trail's best.
Costumed guests visiting the wineries on Saturday may be crowned kings and queens of Mardi Gras, with judging starting 5:30 p.m. at Americana Vineyard. A panel will pick the 2010 Royal Mardi Gras Couple, who will get free tickets to other Cayuga Wine Trail events, the Finger Lakes Wine Festival in Watkins Glen and an overnight stay in a suite at the Latourelle Resort and Spa in Ithaca.
