Finger Lakes Region Wineries

FINGER LAKES. In recent years, New York's wine industry has truly come into its own, and the state now produces more wine than any other locale in the eastern US. Clustered around Lakes Keuka, Seneca, and Cayuga are the region's 60-some wineries, offering a variety of red, white, and sparkling wines. More than a million visitors flock to the Southern Tier annually, sampling vintages, enjoying the pastoral scenery, and taking in the charm of local B&Bs, restaurants, shops, and villages. Harvest time, in late summer and early fall, best showcases New York wine country in all its glory.
