Winter in Wine Country Experience

Impress your friends and family with a getaway to Finger Lakes Wine Country! We've made it easy by pulling together the best winter experiences and accommodation packages.

Enjoy the beautiful scenery of rolling hills, lakes, vineyards, frozen waterfalls, and charming downtowns covered in freshly fallen snow; browse many boutiques, cafes, galleries, and museums that adorn quaint small towns; head outdoors for a cross-country skiing or snowshoeing adventure; and warm up by a romantic fireplace. Appreciate the slower pace at the wineries, breweries, distilleries, and cideries--tastings won’t be crowded and may often be conducted by the winemakers or winery owners themselves. Best of all, winter offers lower prices for accommodations!
