What makes a fall day in the Finger Lakes even better? A countryside drive with a hard c***r stop along the way. 🍎

In Yates County, orchards and c***ries offer a different way to experience the flavors of the season. Start at Apple Barrel Orchards & C***ry in Penn Yan, where a family-owned orchard and c***ry pair locally grown fruit with handcrafted hard c***r and orchard views. 🍏

Then take in the scenery at Treetops C***ry, a farmhouse c***ry on the east bluff of Keuka Lake. Their small-batch, dry c***rs are made with locally sourced apples, with a setting that makes it easy to settle in and enjoy the view.

Add Wagers C***r Mill's Hard C***r to your list, too! This third-generation, family-owned Penn Yan business offers Wager’s Smashed Hard C***r alongside sweet c***r, apples, and c***r donuts; plenty of reasons to make another fall stop.

You can also find Red Hammer Orchard & C***r Co., a Penn Yan producer making dry c***r from heritage-apple blends, at select regional craft-beverage venues. Availability can change, so check with their page before you go.

Whether you prefer crisp and dry, bright and fruit-forward, or simply want to discover a new stop along your Finger Lakes route, these c***ries are ready to pour a taste of the season!

What might you find on a shopping trip through downtown Penn Yan?

Start with the window that catches your eye. Step inside, take your time browsing, and let one stop lead to another along Main Street. An afternoon of shopping here also leaves room to appreciate the historic buildings; and settle in for lunch at a local restaurant when you’re ready for a break.

This fall, leave a little space in your plans for downtown Penn Yan. You don’t need a long shopping list to enjoy looking around!

🍇 At Fulkerson Winery & Farm, fresh-pressed grape juice is made for sipping now; and for creating your own special w**e at home.

During harvest season in Dundee, the fresh juice pickup area becomes part of the harvest experience. Home w**emakers arrive with containers ready to fill, taking home fresh-pressed grape juice to begin their own batches of w**e. Fulkerson has been supplying home w**emaking enthusiasts with grape juice from its vineyards since the beginning, offering more than 30 varieties of whole grape juice along with the supplies, equipment, and classes to help people make w**e at home!

But that same grape juice is also a flavorful, family-friendly taste of the Finger Lakes. Pour a chilled glass of Concord, Catawba, Diamond, Niagara, or another local variety at a picnic, a family meal, or after a day exploring the countryside. It is a way for everyone (w**e drinkers, non-drinkers, kids, and grape lovers alike) to enjoy the flavor of the harvest.

Whether you are filling a glass today or filling a container for your next w**emaking project, Fulkerson Winery & Farm offers a true taste of the Finger Lakes grape harvest.
