If you are looking for something different to do this Labor Day Weekend or during the school year for a nice get away with a loved one and you would rather not cook, clean, or do those other million chores on the to do list, then send the kids to a friend’s house for a sleepover and head to Finger Lakes Wine Country. There is plenty to taste, see and do, and it may just be the getaway you have been searching for.

Finger Lakes have wine trails that you can go on or tour and participate in various different wine tastings such as their international Riesling. Also at the Finger Lakes Wine Country are museums about glassmaking or experience the west at the Rockwell Museum of Western Art or get a taste of Broadway at the Clemens Center. There are also farmer’s markets that you can visit and get fresh fruits and vegetables or experience some auto-racing history at the Watkins Glen International, which features IndyCar, NASCAR and Watkins Glen Grand Prix. There are also different tours that can be taken for this as well (http://www.fingerlakeswinecountry.com/Things-to-Do.aspx).

There are also antique shops to explore, shopping centers, local vendors, and more museums about flight such as National Soaring Museum or the Glen H. Curtiss Museum where you can see vintage airplanes and much more. If wine is not your thing, Finger Lakes also has many breweries and distilleries where you can taste and sample of kinds of different whiskey and beer.

If you need a place to stay Finger Lakes also offers many choices from bed and breakfasts, hotels and motels, to country Inns and Vacation Rentals as well as campgrounds and cabins. There are also many places to eat from fine dining to casual dining and winery restaurants. There is a little something for everyone at Finger Lakes Wine Country.

So put off that to do list and that cleaning for one more day or maybe a few, send the kids to a friend’s and prepare for a nice getaway to Finger Lakes Wine Country. There is so much to taste, see and do, you’ll be glad you decided to get away.
