For a unique destination with an abundance of natural beauty and amazing attractions, the Finger Lakes region of New York State is difficult to top.

From the pristine lakes, gorgeous waterfalls, and magnificent parks to the charming villages, and unique shopping opportunities, the Finger Lakes have something for everyone to enjoy.

And, let’s not forget about the wine. After all, the Finger Lakes is home to more than 100 wineries serving up smiles and friendly conversation along with award-winning wines of almost every variety.

The Finger Lakes is the largest and most acclaimed winemaking region in the Eastern United States, and it owes much of its success to the lakes themselves. Steep slopes surrounding the lakes provide a natural means for rainwater and air drainage during the Spring and Summer growing season. The plunging depth of the lakes moderates the region’s cool autumns with gentle, warming fog, thereby extending the growing season. Local wineries produce many wines, but the cool climate grape, Riesling, has become the signature Finger Lakes varietal wine known the world over.

AAA South Jersey is hosting a motorcoach trip to the Finger Lake region, visiting seven area wineries with over 40 wines to sample.
