Keuka Lake Wine Trail

At the heart of the Finger Lakes Wine Region lies Keuka Lake, whose spectacular beauty and glacially-deposited soils inspired early grape cultivation and the birth of America’s wine industry in 1860. Today, wineries along the Keuka Lake Wine Trail craft some of the world’s most beautifully balanced and vibrant wines. You will find the winemakers, owners, and staff take equal pride in the warmth of our hospitality.

Established in 1985, the Keuka Lake Wine Trail is the perfect place for your wine holiday, offering the most diverse group of wineries of any destination in the Finger Lakes. Whether your taste is dry or sweet, fruity or austere, our vintages of Vinifera, Hybrid and Native wines are sure to please every palate. These cool-climate wines are particularly enjoyable with food. Food and wine pairings are highlighted during the Keuka Lake Wine Trail’s signature events throughout the year, as well as in select winery shops that sell locally made food items.

It is quite manageable to drive around the Keuka Lake in a day, still allowing time to stop at each of the unique eight wineries on the Trail. The striking overlooks, on-the-water restaurants, parks, antique barns and charming villages will encourage you to slow down – spend a few days and discover what makes the Keuka Lake Wine Trail different.
