If you are a wine enthusiast, Ithaca and the Finger Lakes region have you covered. The Finger Lakes region is home to over 100 Finger Lakes wineries, breweries, and distilleries. These producers are centered around Keuka, Cayuga and Seneca Lakes and are part of the Finger Lakes Wine Country. Many of these companies are members of wine and beer trails that host year-round wine, beer and food weekend events throughout the region.

Finger Lakes Wine Country is a world-class wine manufacturing area that specializes in the creation of aromatic white wines like Riesling and Gewurztraminer. The region has also had newfound success with the introduction of cool-climate red wines like Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir. The region is successful when it comes to wine production because of the microclimate in the region created by the lakes themselves. The extreme winters typical of the New York region is avoided and warm summer days ripen the grapes to perfection. The Finger Lakes act as a self-regulating climate controller because of the steady water temperature, which in turn prevents any significant swings in climate through the growing season and helps to extend the season by several months.  To book a charter bus for wine tasting, submit your request on our Charters page and we?ll find the best deal for your group.
