Wineries in The Finger Lakes

The Finger Lakes is home to a robust wine region, anchored by four distinct wine trails and more than 120 wineries and vineyards set among glittering waterways. Canandaigua Lake’s picture-perfect shores are an idyllic spot for a quiet moment of scenic beauty before venturing out to get a taste of the area’s award-winning reds and whites.

Thanks to a microclimate created by the lakes, varietals and sparklings like Riesling, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, and Saperavi thrive. At Ravines Wine Cellars in Geneva, the tasting room is housed in a rustic-chic historic barn, where you can sample a wine flight of five pours. For a delectable experience, the Tasting Table wine and food pairing offers a grazing plate of savory bites alongside a curated selection of wines. Either way, you’ll learn about your beverage’s distinct characteristics and what makes wine from the Finger Lakes so unique.With a seemingly endless number of wineries ready to welcome you in the Finger Lakes, it can be hard to figure out where to begin! Each winery has its own story to tell, its own specialty, and its own charm that makes a wine-tasting excursion the perfect way to spend your time in our backyard.

Enjoy curated wine tastings directly with the winemaker, picturesque backdrops for you to relax in an Adirondack chair and sip the evening away, and behind-the-scenes tours of the entire wine-making operation. Indulge in the convenience of tasting rooms like F.L.X. Provisions and Acquilano along our main streets where a variety of producers are offered at your seat.
