WINE TASTING You are in the heart of the Finger Lakes so you have to go wine tasting (if you like wine of course). You can tour close by on the Keuka Lake Wine Trail and also explore the other lakes as well. From small quaint wineries to the larger ones, there are so many to choose from and also check out the several Seasonal Events. We also have brochures and maps in the house for your taking.  www.keukawinetrail.com  www.senecalakewine.com  www.cayugawinetrail.com
