Finger Lakes Wine Country... most beautiful lakeside retreat in America.

The rolling hills and vineyards of Finger Lakes Wine Country are some of the most beautiful countryside in the world.

The region was literally carved out of glaciers, over the course of 100-million years. The result of this glacial activity is an area of spectacular beauty and agriculturally-rich grapegrowing land.

The area has many fairy-tale-like stories, complete with castles and mansions. Like the Esperanza Mansion, built as a wedding gift and later used as an Underground Railroad station. Or the Belherst Castle, built two centuries ago, for a young Italian Opera singer who won over the eyes and heart of an aristocratic Don.

This also where famed author Mark Twain took his bride, wrote many of his famous stories, and choose to remain; and where English glass maker, Frederick Carder etched with pride magnificent art works of beauty into Steuben crystal.

Take a walk with nature and discover hundreds of wildflowers and birds at Tanglewood Nature Center. Or visit Harris Hill -- the internationally acclaimed sailplane soaring capitol of the world.

Finger Lakes Wine Country is arguably the most beautiful lakeside retreat in America. It's easy to be charmed by the natural beauty, rich history, and taste of the wine.
