Follow regional wine trails, exploring history, natural beauty and quality wines along the way. The area produces a variety of wines, but is known for world-class Rieslings (in the Finger Lakes) and fruit wines (along the coast of Lake Erie). Learn how each winery -- and each wine -- takes on a distinctive local character, reflecting the climate, the winemakers’ passion and process, and the land itself. Meet the winemakers, who are often continuing family traditions going back generations. And learn how wineries are helping to create a culinary identity expressing the unique flavors of The Empire State.
