Wine and Dine in the Finger Lakes

As the second largest wine region in the country, you won't want to forget to add a winery tour to your Finger Lakes dining experience. Not only is the region home to over 100 wineries in the Finger Lakes, but some of the best are located in or around the charming village of Hammondsport. The deep slender lakes, like Keuka Lake, not only make the area scenic, but they also play a part in extending the growing season. Our winemakers have been able to produce award winning Finger Lakes wines for years. Of course, if you're a beer-lover at heart, don't worry. We have a selection of breweries in the Finger Lakes that offer daily tastings and tours, some even offer an on-site restaurant!
