The Symposium Weekend is PCCW’s signature event, where we can come together to network, learn, and share our love and experiences of our time spent at Cornell.

This year’s theme is The Power of Together! It has been some time since we have all been able to gather in person, so this theme is particularly poignant.

Please note: Event session locations and description details will be provided and updated as available.

Finger Lakes Wine Tasting
2:00–3:30 pm
Location: Tableside, 112 North Cayuga Street in downtown Ithaca
Join fellow PCCW members for an intimate tasting of beautiful Finger Lakes wines crafted by exceptional women. The wines will be curated and introduced by two Cornell Hotelies, Richy Petrina ’01 and Maya Rutkoski ’23. This conversational experience will be relaxed and not technical. Serious wine lovers and curious tasters alike will be equally comfortable.

Tableside is a discreet hotelie-owned event space with no exterior signage, located on the ground level of the historic Clinton Hall building. You will access the entrance by the door on the right side of the building. Wines will not be available to purchase and take home, but they can be ordered and shipped direly from the featured wineries.
