4 Best Wineries near Ithaca

“We came to visit Ports of NY Winery after visiting several other vineyards and wineries along the Cayuga trail. I’m glad we saved this for last because it was my favorite experience of our weeklong trip. All of that is due to Frédéric, the winemaker, giving us an excellent tasting experience. It wasn’t just about the wine itself, but about the grapes and the history behind them. My wife and I were the only ones in the shop when we arrived and it was perfect. Frédéric has a wonderful collection of vintage winemaking equipment from France setup for viewing and learning about too. All in all, I highly recommend this experience. You won’t find a more genuine, kind, and experienced wine expert. Oh, and the wine is FANTASTIC. I dare you to walk out without a bottle….“
