Day 1
From under-the-radar wineries to those that have made history, this tour takes you to the west side of Keuka Lake and five very different wineries offering panoramic views and oh, so tasty wines.
Point of the Bluff Vineyards
Point of the Bluff Vineyards
Point of the Bluff Vineyards A short drive from picturesque Hammondsport, start at Point of the Bluff. Known for excellent ice wines, the dry and sensational Rosé will catch your attention. With soaring views and an awesome music venue, they also have a great canned series inspired by local aviation history, including Hangar 17.

Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery
Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery
Dr. Frank's Next stop, one of the more famous wineries on the east coast. Dr. Frank’s is the perfect combination of exceptional vintages and breathtaking views. While Riesling is where it’s at, try the Rkatsiteli. It might just be your new favorite. And one that none of your friends have ever heard of.

Bully Hill Vineyards
Bully Hill Vineyards
Bully Hill Vineyards With a restaurant offering panoramic views and delicious food, Bully Hill is a must. After lunch tasting at a winery built around the motto “wine with laughter” is an absolute blast. Focusing mostly on hybrid grapes, the wines range from sweet (yummy Ravat 51) to the much drier Seyval Blanc.

Keuka Lake Vineyards
Keuka Lake Vineyards
Keuka Lake Vineyards What Keuka Lake Vineyards lacks in size, it makes up for quality specializing in small batches of fine dry wines. Never would expect their wines to be in restaurants in NYC, DC, even Japan. Until you try them. You will especially love the Vignoles and Leon Millot.

Safe Sipping
Note: We're suggesting multiple libation stops, but adding another day might be a wise choice also offering you the chance to enjoy the wineries and Keuka Lake itself. While we want you to savor all the exceptional wine options, we also hope you will do so responsibly. You can find information about drive share services online, like Main Street Drivers who will actually take you around in your own car.
