The Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York is a perfect destination for your group’s next trip. Our area originally became popular with the motorcoach market because we are located between top destinations such as Niagara Falls and New York City, New England and the Mid-West, Pennsylvania Dutch Country and Canada.  We have since grown to a true destination for groups due to our wineries, spectacular scenery and wonderful attractions that will surprise and delight your customers.

Top Group attractions include the Corning Museum of Glass, Watkins Glen International Raceway, National Soaring Museum and the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film. Unique shopping venues such as the Windmill Farm & Craft Market, Waterloo Premium Outlets and the Ithaca Downtown Commons are always ready to welcome your customers. 

The Finger Lakes is home to over one hundred wineries –stop at one or develop an entire itinerary based on the wineries. The majority of wineries are situated around our lakes, which make for gorgeous views while you taste the Rieslings, ice wines and many red wines our region is known for.  If your group is into authentic foods, the New York Wine and Culinary Center has cooking demonstrations and hands-on classes featuring New York foods. Finger Lakes Culinary Bounty is an organization that promotes local foods and many of our group friendly restaurants are members.

Autumn in our area is especially beautiful. Letchworth State Park, known as the Grand Canyon of the East, is a spectacular drive. Or travel along the Seaway trail, which borders Lake Ontario, and stop at a farmers stand.
