Wine & Dine

Get a taste of the Finger Lakes!

Cayuga County and the Finger Lakes Region are famous for their fresh fruits, herbs, vegetables and dairy products. The fertile soil and gentle climate provide farmers with near ideal growing conditions for a wide variety of produce including strawberries, sweet corn, apples, potatoes, tomatoes, and squash. Our apple cider, corn-on-the cob, salt potatoes, and local cheeses are not to be missed!

Look for the Finger Lakes Culinary Bounty logo as you travel through the Finger Lakes. It let's you know that participating restaurants and their chefs are using the freshest and finest quality products from local farms. The Cascade Grill, the Holiday Inn Auburn, Niles Gourmet Bistro, Pumpkin Hill Bistro, the Springside Inn and the Restaurant at Elderberry Pond all participate in the Finger Lakes Culinary Bounty program and feature home grown Finger Lakes produce.
