Explore the spectacular Finger Lakes and see why it’s earned the distinction as one of Travel and Leisure’s Top Travel Destinations! Home to almost 100 wineries and breweries, our bike tour weaves between three of the largest and deepest of the Finger Lakes–Cayuga, Seneca, and Keuka. You’ll visit unique and world-class wineries, ride along the shores of lakes, view stunning waterfalls, and visit fascinating sites, including the Women’s Rights National Historical Park, the spell-binding Watkins Glen State Park, and Taughannock Falls State Park, home of the highest waterfall in the eastern US. The Finger Lakes Wine Country has a rich cultural history with ties to glassmaking, winemaking and viticulture, aviation and motorcycle history, literary history, the Underground Railroad, and the Civil War. In addition to smooth and quiet cycling, this history provides unique cultural experiences. Foodies will be in heaven as food producers in the Finger Lakes make some of the freshest meats, cheeses, and shelf products to be found anywhere. We will visit area craft breweries and ice cream makers, wine tastings and an exclusive visit to the Dr. Konstantin Frank Vineyard on Keuka Lake, where the Finger Lakes wine revolution started. Bring your camera, your curiosity, and your taste buds!
