While on a weekend away in the finger lakes my husband and I visited Lamoreaux. We had a great time- Laurie helped us and she was really nice and helpful. She showed us the difference between some of their Rieslings, which was really cool. Sh also didn'tt rush us which was a nice change from a few others we visited over the weekend. Great wine and a great staff- definitely worth a visit!

While visiting friends who wanted to do wine tasting we stopped at Treleaven. They had attended concerts here but this visit was on a weekday in the mid-afternoon. I elected to do the beer tasting and was not disappointed at all. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable about the wines and beers. The tasting room is open and airy. I don't have any experience with their concert series but the grounds looked like they could comfortably hold plenty of people enjoying their beverages.

What a gorgeous park. We did the north and south rim and trails as well as the gorge trail. It took us about 2 hours walking at a good pace but stopping to take pictures and enjoy the gorgeous scenery. We had debated doing this as there had been a light snow the day before but the trails were fine. The parking lot was crowded and after we got there (around 2:30) people were waiting for parking spots! This was the lot closest to where the trails start so I imagine in peak season you have to park further away because this lot just isn't that big. Even though it was quite chilly, we are so glad we had the chance to visit. Lots of great overlooks and the gorge and falls are just spectacular. Beautiful park.

Eight people arranged this trip, all couples. Having done wine tours before (driven, designated driver, van etc) we decided a boat tour would be idea. First let me say the day was awesome weather wise and that helps. But we could see that the boat was well protected if NOT good weather. It was simply a blast! We visited 3 wineries and had lunch at one. The captain was fun and entertaining with stories and information. The boat tour was not only fun the wineries where a blast and we loved the views, walks to/from AND sometimes van or open "Kubuka" rides(did I spell right?) trips to the wineries from the boat. Over all very highly recommended.....YOU WILL LOVE IT!
5. Lively Run Dairy
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 115 reviews
Lively Run Goat Dairy is one of the longest operating commercial goat dairies in the country, beginning production in New York State in 1982 and pioneering goat cheese in the American marketplace. The entire Messmer family works to continue the mission of bringing to the Finger Lakes region healthy, sustainable and delicious goat cheese. Come visit the farm, get a tour, see our baby goats in the spring, eat some cheese cake, and most importantly - try our cheese!

Pleasantly surprised by this stop along the wine/beer tasting trail. The cheese samples were not only plentiful but absolutely delish--along with local jams and honey as compliments. Our host was most gracious, professional, welcoming and knowledgeable. The variety of cow's milk and goat's milk cheeses to sample were diverse in taste and texture....so worth it! Great souvenirs to purchase if you are picnicking between wineries as there are cheeses and crackers to choose from. Go here, it is a great time and you might be able to see the baby goats.
6. Wagner Vineyards

Visitors to this popular winery in the Finger Lakes area can experience great wine-tasting, fine dining and tasting this establishment's newest addition- micro-brewed beers.
Reviewed By Mellayella - Welland, Canada
This is our second visit to Wagner, and it was a disappointment. We came on a Saturday (and as I have read thru reviews Saturday's in the fall are their peak times) so with them acknowledging this you would think they would be better staffed. There was one server at each bar that were all absolutely packed. The server only had enough time to pour the sample, yell out over the noise what wine it was and move on to the dozens of other people there. If you know you are busiest on fall Saturday's why not have more staff on. Maybe 3 per bar. I got zero info on the wines.
My husband and our friend tasted the beer. They were told it's busy so leave the bar, again no info on the beer. They were asked to leave their licenses behind for some reason as well....Maybe as assurance the flight board would come back? However because it's so busy when we wanted to get out of there we had to wait around after dropping the board off to get our licenses back.
The whole thing was a disappointment. Our first visit was much nicer. Apparently if you are visiting on a Saturday or Sunday it's recommended you don't come.. or come first thing before it gets busy. For us that wasn't convenient as we stayed in Geneva.
Not worth the trip or the money.

At the recommendation of a tour guide, we went to the Sheldrake Point Winery. Parking is convenient and the tasting room is quite large. The wine consultant was very knowledgeable and friendly. The wines were generally good. I was surprised by the dry Rose and enjoyed the reserve Meritage.

Bellwether Hard Cider and Wine Cellars is located on the west side of Cayuga Lake about 5 miles north of Taughannock State Park. We have a tasting room and gift shop where guests can try our artisanal hard ciders and single vineyard wines-all produced on site. Our gift shop carries mostly locally made products, as well as a selection of wine related items and cookbooks. Visit with our resident cats and dogs while you're here! Amenities include a covered outdoor patio with seating, picnic table, pond, restrooms (handicap accessible), and tours. Groups of 10+ by reservation only.

Don't pass this winery by if you think Cider is their only product.
The wine focus at Bellwether is on Riesling and Pinot Noir. Two of the Rieslings are made with natural yeast fermentation which adds a complexity to the wines which is unique to this winery. A bargain is their Provisions Riesling that is semi-dry with fresh fruit on the nose. Also try the Pinot Noir Dry Rose for your summer picnics. Barbara was our host in the tasting room. She has a great understanding of the wines and has lived most of her life in the Finger Lakes.

When we visited the tasting room was just a bit busy. Fortunately the 2 servers were able to keep up and provide some information on the wines we were sampling. The grounds are beautiful with great views of Cayuga Lake. We only sampled the red wines so we'll have to try the whites on the next visit.
