Wineries - Tastings & Tours
"Gotta Taste It!"
Homegrown & Handmade

Are you a foodie? Who isn't! Food and wine are Finger Lakes favorites. Our Finger Lakes wineries are open year round for tasting and touring. The New York Wine and Culinary Center offers hands-on classes with great new fall harvest recipes. Take a class, watch a demonstration or just enjoy a Taste of the Finger Lakes in the Lounge upstairs.

For centuries, the fertile soil and gentle climate of the Finger Lakes have provided farmers with near-perfect growing conditions. The delicious bounty this region produces is second to none! There's nothing like fresh-from-the-farm, local produce; and what's really great is you can find it here at our farmer's markets, at roadside stands, or by picking your own. Come and capture the good fun and the good food in the Finger Lakes. We have Farmers Markets and Farm Stands in every town and city in Ontario County. Click here to see some suggestions.

A Finger Lakes Culinary and Wine escape is just waiting to please your palate and relax your mind this spring. Other options to consider include lakeside lodging at the Ramada Geneva Lakefront on Seneca Lake or The Inn on the Lake on Canandaigua Lake.

Pinots to Ice wine ... Finger Lakes wineries, the Canandaigua Lake Wine Trail and the Seneca Lake Wine Trail offer tastings all year. Enjoy a unique and cozy meal at the Brown Hound Bistro in Bristol. The Brown Hound features a fabulous selection of Finger Lakes wines.

History & The Arts
About Our Lakes & Villages
Family Fun

With the arrival of the Lehigh Valley Railroad to the Finger Lakes region in the 1890s, the area experienced a “mini boom” of growth as Manchester, NY became a division point where crews and locomotives were exchanged.  Today, the Finger Lakes Scenic Railway crisscrosses the region and connects people with the past, while offering new ways to see the area.

We ran a survey, and our locals told US what they thought were the 'Best of the Best' of their home towns along Routs 5 and 20. Click on the logo above to visit the Routes 5 and 20 website and order your free, mini folding map, featuring the top 10 Best of the Best.

The Finger Lakes is also your destination for one-of-a-kind downtown shopping. Uncover unique pieces made by local artisans at Artizann's in Naples, NY. How about a traditional Afternoon Tea at Dallywaters Tea Room and Art Gallery, also in Naples. Stroll around any of our historic downtowns and stop to enjoy some light fare or a glass of Riesling in the downtown cafes and restaurants.

Finger Lakes cozy winter fun includes great overnight packages. Romantic getaways are a click away - Why wait? We offer a wide variety of lodging - to suit everyone's needs.
