Wine is delicious year-round, and it always seems to taste better on vacation. On your next trip to the Geneva, NY, area, consider dedicating an afternoon to the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. This wine trail is a true oenophile’s journey, with stops at each unique winery in the area. Whether you want to visit purely for the wine trail and visit all of the wineries or if you just want to spend an afternoon tasting, we created a guide to some of our favorite wineries on the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. All are located near Belhurst Castle. You’re not far away from a memorable afternoon sipping away!
