I am a big bow hunter and it’s that time of the year again when I will be posting pictures and articles about hunting tips and secrets during my hopefully successful season. I am counting down the days until the opener in New York and anxiously think about all of my preparation this summer, hoping it will pay off. A remedy for this anxiety, that has given me pleasant relief………… is Vino and foliage!
One of the most beautiful seasons of the year, is early fall and one of the best activities to enjoy the crisp weather change in the Northeast, is a wine tour in the Finger Lakes region of New York. It has all the positives here! Wine (most importantly), stunning landscapes, some romance (if you must) and extraordinary foliage. My fiance and I very much enjoy the red grape varieties, but the finger lakes offer some interesting options for both red and white wine lovers. The picture above is from the front porch of the Leidenfrost Vineyard which is located on Seneca lake, in western New York. This is an awesome place to explore some of the finer reds of the region. Drinking wine while
looking at the foliage above Seneca Lake is not a bad way to “kill time” before hunting season. It’s fun and you will class yourself up a bit!

If you have any questions about this article or other winery options in the Finger Lakes region, please do not hesitate to contact me. I suggest making this trip in early fall, but most of the wineries are open year round and provide interesting tours and tastings for every palate. You can also visit this LINK to learn more.
