Everything worth doing. Within 20 minutes.
The deepest of the Finger Lakes — the coldest, the most ambitious for Riesling, and the easiest to love.
Seneca Lake is 38 miles long and 618 feet deep — the second-deepest lake in New York. The southern half produces America's most serious dry Riesling, plus Cabernet Franc, Lemberger, and a growing list of producers doing natural, sparkling, and orange wine the way Europe has done for a century. Anchored by Watkins Glen to the south and Geneva to the north. The lake's depth keeps it stable; the fishing is genuinely excellent.
