Default Finger Lakes Wineries

We are visting the Finger Lakes area and are looking to visit wineries that have great wines and great lake views. Any suggestions? Keuka, Seneca or Caygua, it doesn't matter. Thanks!

some info on the "info on finger lakes thread" on this page

here is my post from there

the west lake road of hammondsport is very nice and a great drive (between hammondsport and branchport)

head up west lake road and then up the hill to Greyton H Taylor Memorial Drive, make a stop at Bully Hill winery where you'll have great views

Leaving Bully Hill point back towards Hammondsport and make a pretty quick left down Sanford Road and then connect into the Hammondsport/South Pultney Road - take a left there and continue onto Heron Hill Winery - if you take a left and continue down hsport/s. pultney road you'll eventually be able to split onto middle road

I would also hit Dr Franks off Middle Rd between Wright & Shuart - very nice place and the tastings are done a little different than heron hill and a lot different than bully hill

those 3 would give a nice mix of what keuka has to offer with wines, along with providing some really excellent views and some country driving

if you are up for it there is another stop that I did the last time I was home that I really enjoyed - Keuka Brewing Company - it's a really small micro brew place, but the beers were pretty good and at that time they weren't selling them in stores or anything, but pretty much operating out of the tasting room ...... it's pretty close to Dr. Franks - you'd go up Shuart until you hit the HSport/S.Pultney road, hand a right and then a left onto Briglin

On the way out of the vineyards (unless you wanted to see more of them) I'd either ride the Hsport/S. Pultney road or middle road until you get to Gallagher and then drop down to west lake road

if anyplace is serving lunch on the lake it could be worth stopping

here is a link to a brochure for the Keuka Lake Wine Trail

Keuka Lake Wine Trail - 2009

here is a gallery from bullyhill - you can see a really good view of the lake

Bully Hill Sites

here are some from heron hill - they don't show their tasting room, but it's stunning

I couldn't find a gallery from Dr. Franks

Love the Keuka Lake area as I grew up in Prattsburgh. Dr. Frank's Reislings are outstanding! The views from Heron and Bully are great. As another option look to the east side of Seneca Lake as well. Some terrific local wines are produced there and there are a whole lot of wineries to visit. 3 favorites are Red Newt, Chateau Lafeyette Reneau and Lamoreux landing.

Anyone been to Goose Watch on Cayuga? I'm looking for a winery that's not too far from the Syracuse area. Seneca and Keuka a little too far for that particular day.

I like Goose Watch's wines, but have never been to the winery and was wondering if it would be a good place to take someone.

Don't know Goose Watch, but do like Swedish Hill. That's a bit closer.
