Many new wineries and breweries have popped up in the past couple of years! Whether they changed hands or a new build, make sure to add some of these newbies to your tour and you won’t be disappointed. When you book your tour, ask Nicole or Bonnie for some recommendations of the new wineries and we will help you figure out the one that best suits your group.

Especially during the summer, who can resist ice cream?! We are lucky to have many creameries along the wine trails as well as dairy free options of cool treats.

On Cayuga Lake, the Cayuga Lake Creamery in Interlaken offers many hard ice cream flavors as well as a food menu which makes it a good lunch stop too.

On Seneca Lake, Shtayburne Farm Creamery in Rock Stream offers cheese and ice cream tastings. Sweet Acres Creamery in Geneva has a nice food menu as well as ice cream and other milk products. Spotted Duck Creamery in Penn Yan is an organic ice cream facility and their ice cream is made from duck eggs! They also have dairy free options and gluten free cones. Crosswinds Farm and Creamery is also in Rock Stream and they offer grassfed beef, gelato, cheese, milk and yogurt.

On Keuka Lake, Seneca Farms in Penn Yan is more known for their fried chicken but they also have a good selection of hard ice cream.

There are regular ice cream shops along the way, but why not support the farmers and the creameries along the Wine Trails? Just ask your driver for a creamery or cheesery and we will be happy to oblige.

Many wineries, especially along Cayuga and Seneca Lakes, are pet friendly!!! Due to allergies our other guests may have, our drivers would be more than happy to drive your vehicle so that you can bring your furry family along with you! Most drivers will even let your dog stay in the car and catch a much-needed nap while you stay in a winery for lunch (happened to Nicole last summer!) so make sure to ask for Nicole when you book us to drive YOUR vehicle!

Did you know that not only does the Finger Lakes have great wine, but we have great cheese too? On Cayuga Lake, Lively Run Goat Farm in Interlaken offers goat cheese for sample and purchase. Between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes, Muranda Cheese Company offers cheese tastings as well as their own wine which pairs delightfully with each savory bite. Shtayburne Cheese Farm is a Mennonite owned business that offers cheese and ice cream tastings. Also on Seneca Lake, Crosswinds Dairy Farm offers cheese, ice cream and yogurt tastings. Make sure to put one of these locations on your itinerary to add a special sweet and savory snack during your special day!
