A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread and Thou Beside me singing in the Wilderness high above Cayuga's waters. O Cayuga. The center extended finger of the Empire State's Finger Lakes. Where Thurston Avenue slants its way across Libe Slope to quench the appetites of those thirsting for study in any subject, to those thirsting for the delights of the Gin Mill in C-Town. Where Ives Hall works its way through the heavy laboring economies of the Industrial Era to service economies of the Information Age. Where the botanists and horticulturalists of the Ag Quad feed and fuel the world. Where the Human Economists feed our humanity. Where the Statler Hoteliers nourish the business and tourist travel. From Beebe Lake to The Bog. From The Gorge to the Great Beyond ... Extend your middle Finger Lake ever upwards New York State ... Go Big Red ... Engine of Excelsior ...

To create your own Cayuga Lake winetrail, use the "search" box in the lower righthand corner of the map. Insert the word "winery" or "wineries" and run your search. This will bring up your personal winetrail. Add a designated driver and connect dots. We hope this will get you started down a happy winetrail. If you have any experiences you would like to relate please message us at Vincent [at] VanGoghWorks [dot] com [substituting appropriate symbols]. Thank you and Happy Wine Trails. The Management.
