Upstate New Yorkers know and love the Finger Lakes wine region, and now it seems the rest of the country is taking notice, too.
The Finger Lakes was named America’s top wine region in a new nationwide poll conducted by 10Best.com, an affiliate of USA Today. It was one of several polls 10Best announced today ranking “the best of the American wine scene.”
Encompassing 14 counties and 16 major cities, Finger Lakes is one of the most popular destinations in New York and in the entire country. Earlier in the year, Wine Enthusiast named Finger Lakes one of this year’s 10 Best Wine Travel Destinations in the world and last year, the state of New York was honored as the Wine Region of the Year by the same publication. With more than 200 wineries spread across the Finger Lakes area, wine lovers have numerous opportunities to visit world-class wineries and enjoy world-class wine tasting. But it’s not just all about the magnificent wineries and flowing acres of vineyards. With a variety of outstanding lodging, award-winning restaurants, outdoor recreation and attractions, there is so much to see and do for the entire trip. For recommendations for the best wineries, places to stay, places to dine and other notable points of interest, this guide for wine lovers will help make a trip to Finger Lakes an unforgettable experience.
AMERICA’s Best Wine Regions, Ranked by Sommeliers:
… And, while you may very well be thinking about doing some wine tasting on your next vacation, you might not know where to go to get the most wine for your time. Other than, say, wherever they shot that movie Sideways. So to help you out, we asked a panel of seven esteemed wine experts and sommeliers to give us their picks for the best wine regions in the United States to visit. And then we ranked the top 11 based on the number of times they were nominated/how highly they were touted. But first, our panel:
Heath Porter, owner/operator of Uvaggio, one of Miami’s best wine bars
David Boyle, head sommelier at Chandlers Steakhouse (the best steakhouse in Idaho!)
Wes Narron, chief wine ambassador of City Wine Tours in Boston and New York City
Brian Grandison, head sommelier at Hakkasan at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach
Ryan Robinson, sommelier at Ruth’s Chris Steak House
Patrick Olds, sommelier at the Four Seasons St. Louis
Daniel Toral, wine director at 50 Eggs, Inc. restaurant group

Must-hit wineries: Get a history lesson at Dr. Frank’s before hitting Ravines or Hermann J. Wiemer
Perhaps we spoke too soon when we named the Finger Lakes the most underrated place in New York. This southern region of the Empire State is like an SEC football team to sommeliers (that is, a powerhouse), except it actually deserves to be in everyone’s top five. “There are a lot of up-and-coming wineries there,” says Toral, “and better restaurants keep opening, as well.” In fact, since the region started blowing up a few years ago, there are now over 100 wineries in the area. And the best part? It hasn’t been overtaken by tourists and developers yet—so there won’t be horrendous crowds to fight when you visit the famous gorges at Watkins Glen State Park in the morning, and then head to the venerable birthplace of East Coast winemaking—Dr. Konstantin Frank Vinifera Wine Cellars—later in the day.
Your Guide to the Finger Lakes, the Most Exciting Wine Region on the East Coast of America (Adam Teeter, Vinepair) Located five hours outside New York City, in the Southern Tier region of New York State, sits the most exciting wine region on the East Coast, the Finger Lakes. While the North Fork of Long Island may receive more attention, due to the region’s proximity to NYC, the Finger Lakes consistently produces world-class wine.
