Wine Tours and Tastings in the Finger Lakes
In the heart of the Finger Lakes lies one of the largest acreages of vineyards in the country with more than 100 wineries. Five wine trails plus one wine path have been formed and named for the lakes they border – Canandaigua, Cayuga, Keuka, Ontario, Seneca, Conesus and Hemlock. Celebrate the harvest, new vintages, wine and food pairings and holiday happenings at spectacular events hosted by these trails. Whatever tickles your taste buds – a crisp white, the heartiness of a deep burgundy, the bubbles of Champagne – you’ll find it here. The perfect and rare mix of climate, good geology along with experienced and gifted winemakers combine to produce the superior award-winning vintages you’ll love. Nearly all of the more than 100 wineries offer tasting rooms and gifts shops with some offering a unique look at the processes used in developing their own vintages. Several have restaurants with lake view dining. For the ultimate luxury and a hassle-free winery tour, charter one of the chauffeured tours offered throughout the region. Options range from party buses to luxury limousines, pre-planned to customized tours. Click here for more information on Finger Lakes wine tours
