Fine Wineries

Return to main article

There was a time when a wine tour in the Finger Lakes was viewed in terms similar to a keg party, only without the music. In recent years, though, nowhere has the new wave of oenophilia been more evident than in upstate New York. The Finger Lakes now has almost one hundred wineries, some of which have gourmet restaurants on property. The region is best known for its rieslings, and whites in general are considered more refined than reds, but there's a bit of everything on offer.

It's beautiful country to visit and is less pretentious than some wine regions. Four of the lake areas have wine trails and sponsor tastings and other events. For more information, call 800-813-2958 or visit fingerlakeswinecountry.com.
