The Finger Lakes wine region is home to more than 144 wineries and is centered around four main lakes—Canandaigua, Keuka, Seneca, and Cayuga. Seneca and Cayuga Lakes are also recognized as separate viticulture areas due to their unique growing conditions, lakefront climate, and soil makeup. These two lakes also each have wine trail associations and happen to be the closest option to our Finger Lakes Bed and Breakfast. There’s no better way to discover these local gems than by heading out with one of the many companies offering Finger Lakes winery tours.
As a guest at our Finger Lakes Bed and Breakfast, you’ll be in the ideal location to explore the local wine scene.

We’re tucked between the Cayuga and Seneca Lakes which gives you easy access to the lakeside wineries along the shores. Both bodies of water located in the Finger Lakes AVA have wine trails of their own and many local companies offer Finger Lakes winery tours for lovely day trips with transportation to each stop along the route.
Here are four Finger Lakes winery tours to consider adding to your itinerary:
- Water to Wine Tours: Perhaps our favorite choice of the Finger Lakes winery tours to recommend, you really can’t beat stopping off at the local wineries via boat. You’ll sail along Cayuga Lake, pop into a few wineries, tour and taste, and then hop back aboard for your next destination. These tours are ideal for couples or small groups and will be an unforgettable part of your getaway in Upstate NY. For more details, here’s a note from our Innkeeper Rose.
