In Finger Lakes Wine Country, we pride ourselves on our celebrated wines, brews, and spirits. We embrace our coveted farm-to-table lifestyle and culture. We honor our picturesque landscapes and nature-filled environments. 

Yet none of this is possible without the dedicated local entrepreneurs who work daily to elevate our region to its award-winning, ever-growing, globally-recognized status. 

We’re teachers by nature, but we’re casual about the whole idea of being connoisseurs.

We’ll point you to the trails less traveled, to the places where art and culture thrive, and where local live music is the soundtrack to breathtaking sunsets.

Finger Lakes Wine Country is home to the most welcoming, down-to-earth people you could hope to meet.
