The Canandaigua Wine Trail— New York's original wine country—winds for nearly 30 miles (48 kilometers) across the Finger Lakes region, around 5 hours north of NYC. On this tour, you’ll get to sit back, relax, and enjoy tastings at four distinct vineyards, some “microfacilities” concentrating on small-batch, exclusive vintages. With rollings hills and waterfront vistas, the views always pair well with each sip.

Immerse yourself in the scenery of the Finger Lakes—and discover four of the region’s top craft breweries—on this small-group, half-day tasting tour. Following pickup directly at your Canandaigua Lake area hotel, hop aboard your comfortable vehicle and set off. At each of the four breweries, you’ll enjoy a tutored tasting, can try a range of styles, and can learn more about the brewing process. Upgrade to add a pub lunch to your itinerary.
