Anyone setup one around here or know how to go about doing them? I remember last year there was one through Canada on buses but I cant seem to find any info about them. Any help would be super:) ---

Hit this up this weekend. Get some friend and rent a camping space so no driving is needed and sample them all. [http://www.flwinefest.com/layout.html](http://www.flwinefest.com/layout.html) ---

yeah, avoid the bus or van tours. You have to go with a group at the guides pace to wineries that they get a kickback from. Either take a limo or create your own list of wineries and drive right in. I will say Niagara on the lake is beautiful, but there are tons of wineries in NY, so why not start more local ---

3sny…I’ve been there 2 or 3 times…nice place (actually too nice for me…lol) but, nice setting. I usually just drink the Niagara. I was over at the Warm Lake one (I think its real close to your family’s). I’ll be frequenting “Shultz’s” when they open. They’re another winery thats less than 15min away. I’ve been to “Honeymoon Trail” (which is like 5-10min. from Spina’s Engine Shop) :P, Viscara(sp) is pretty close, they got goos stuff. After the first stop I usually dont remember much of the rest of the places. YES, we have a designated driver. 🙂 ---

Ancient bump. I’m going to Bully Hill Winery this Friday for dinner, anyone know what other wineries in that area offer open tastings? I’d like to go to more than just Bully Hill if possible. ---

Bully hill was part of a tour I went on a few years ago, a few of the others that we went to were: [http://www.heronhill.com/heronhill/index.jsp](http://www.heronhill.com/heronhill/index.jsp) [http://www.drfrankwines.com/](http://www.drfrankwines.com/) > **[Home | Oldest Winery in the Finger Lakes Region | Pleasant Valley Wine](https://www.pleasantvalleywine.com/)** > > While you’re visiting the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York, plan a trip to the Pleasant Valley Wine Company. The old-world ambiance of the winery is ideally suited to its breathtaking surroundings. IIRC pleasant valley said you needed a reservation, but I think that was just because they didn’t like the looks of our group. ---

I texted him this, but Dr. Frank Konstantine’s tasting is the best in that area. Read: free. Hunt Country is cheap too, and Keuka brewing company up on the hill off of 54A with Bully and Dr. Frank’s. Or shoot all the way south to Hammondsport and explore. Lunch at the Lakeside where Keuka splits - great food on the water. Great area, I’ll be there next week :tup: [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wine-tasting-tours/32180.md?page=2)
