KEUKA LAKE
Are you looking for a unique and special wine-tasting experience? Look no further than Keuka Lake, located in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. This stunning lake is the only Y-shaped lake in the area, and is only a 20-minute drive from Seneca Lake.

In fact, some of the area's wineries have properties on both lakes to take advantage of the unique qualities of each climate.
Visiting Keuka Lake is a must-do for any wine-lover. Whether you're looking for an educational wine-tasting experience or just a beautiful view, Keuka Lake is the perfect destination. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to sample the best that upstate New York has to offer!
