Finger Lakes, New York
Finger Lakes is a breathtaking place that wasn’t popular until pretty recently. However, its popularity has grown exponentially over the last few years. You may be wondering why. Well, this sheer-size getaway — which is basically a group of 11 major lakes — boasts luxe lakeside stays and plenty of cozy cabins.
Not to mention the actual reason why an increasing number of people choose this Upstate New York destination: the four distinct wine trails that will lead you through iconic scenery as you visit the area’s 100-plus wineries, where the staff is knowledgeable and accessible, the pours generous, and the vibes laid-back.
If you choose this breathtaking place for your next gateway, make sure you go see the bucolic views of Cayuga Lake Wine Trail. It’s the US’s very first wine trail, which is lined with dog-friendly wineries, breweries, and distilleries — plus wonderful waterfall views.
