ROCHESTER, NY – May is a beautiful month to visit the scenic Finger Lakes wine region. And with more and more people being fully vaccinated, Mother s Day (Sunday, May 9) may be a nice time to venture out of the house and take a road trip.
Know that COVID precautions will still be in place. You ll need to wear a mask unless seated at a table or actively participating in tastings. And the number of visitors is limited, so most wineries and restaurants are requiring (or strongly encouraging) reservations.
Here s a sampling of possibilities for treating the Moms in your life to an idyllic day.

Finger Lakes is the home to more than one hundred vineyards and wineries spread over the regions of Seneca, Cayuga, Keuka, Hemlock, Canandaigua, and Conesus. This region is considered the largest wine-producing region in New York state. This area is suitable for wineries due to the lakes that provide the ‘lake effect’ to the lush vineyards. The lakes retain warmth from the summer in winter and cold from the winter in spring thus making the weather ideal for the grapes to grow. The grape shoots are shielded from the winter snow and frost during the harvest. This allows grapes to reach full growth without wilting prematurely.
