For nearly two centuries, the conditions here in the Finger Lakes have proven ideal for winemaking. Comparable to some of the greatest grape growing regions found in Europe, the weather, soil, moisture and sun all combine to produce world class grapes which, under the care and expert pallet of great winemakers, emerge as world class vintages.

Seneca County is home to more than 30 of these world class wineries, the greats concentration of such wineries to be found anywhere in North America and representing some of the best wines available. Did you know that a Finger Lakes Riesling has been awarded the "Best Riesling" designation in a competition in Germany? Or that our reds and whites have been internationally acclaimed dozens of times by expert judges?

Add to this that fact that there is no more picturesque place on this planet to sip wine, sample artisan cheeses, custom blends of oils, hand crafted chocolates and a host of fresh, local produce, meats, baked goods and more and you can quickly appreciate the fact that the Finger Lakes is a culinary celebration without equal.
