You have two options for this excursion. Wing it and stop at wineries at random or look up what they have to offer and plan your trip. We stopped at 6 wineries and bought at all but one so random worked for us. There are so many choices it’s mind boggling! We started at the wine center in Watkins Glen and got a handy map which was definitely worth it. Many of the locations now offer predetermined flights rather than tastings. If you are trying to get in several wineries this can be a lot of wine to drink. At some locations they allowed us to split a flight which we appreciated since we drove ourselves. The drive has great views of the lake. Very pleasant and we will go again.

My uncle took me to this course while we were visiting them in the Finger Lakes. We had been there last year when the area was suffering from a pretty sever drought and it was pretty beaten up but this year it was awesome! The course is only 9 holes but well designed and definitely challenging. The greens were great and had almost no pockets of fungus deterioration. The staff were friendly and we really had a great round. The views of the lake and surrounding countryside were unbelievable. It was not what I'd call a fancy club house but the beer was cold and they loaded it up in a little cooler with ice for use. I'd say this course would be a lot of fun for experienced golfers and people that are pretty new to the sport. If you are in the area I strongly recommend checking it out.
