Thousands of years ago, glaciers sculpted the flat plateaus of west central New York. They gouged out long valleys that filled with water, creating the "Finger Lakes" Here, where the land meets the water, the tempered climate creates ideal conditions for growing grapes, and producing world class wines. |
Wines from New York's Finger Lakes regoin, through the hard work and research of experienced vintners, have produced vintages that rival the best of Europe.
Besides the appeal of fine wineries, the Finger Lakes Region offers one of the truly unspoiled vacation areas in the USA. Picturesque lakes, lush forests, fine dining, and the lure of shopping at any of the quality art galleries and gift shops will make any visit memorable. It is also home to more than 20 State Parks, an assortment of museums and historic sites. The countryside is dotted with fresh fruit orchards, dairy farms, luxurious resorts and country inns.
