With countless options to choose from, selecting wineries can be difficult. You really can't go wrong with any Finger Lakes wineries, but here are some of our personal favorites!
Walking distance from the bungalow - Cayuga Ridge is another Elm Beach favorite! A beautifully rustic barn shop full wonderful Finger Lakes souvenirs and local snacks (cheese!). The wines at Cayuga Ridge are delicious as well - I recommend picking up a bottle of their Peach Essence for the perfect summertime treat.

Another "gorges" way to explore the Finger Lakes! We suggest hitting this spot off-season or early in the morning to avoid crowds. This NY State Park offers a meandering trail through the Watkin's Glen gorge at the base of Seneca Lake.

The Finger Lakes National Forest is a United States National Forest that encompasses 16,259 acres of Seneca and Schuyler counties, nestled between Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes Region of the State of New York. We love exploring the countless trails and finding new running routes each time we visit. These trails are a great option to avoid crowds, since they're usually less popular than the ones with waterfalls at nearby State Parks.
Cell service in this area is not great, so we recommend looking up the trails on a local map or the All Trails app before heading out!
