Klassic Keuka

Keuka: The literal indigenous meaning is Lake with an elbow. It is the most unusually shaped of all the Finger Lakes and one of the most shallow. Because of its shallow depths, Keuka has one of the warmest water temperatures ideal for moderating the environment to grow premium grapes. We will begin with breathtaking views of the Lake and visits to three of the four wineries surrounding Keuka Lake. We will choose based on availability what wineries we visit. We will take your recommendations of which wineries to visit but cannot guarantee them.  Door-to-door service from area accommodation or departure from the Finger Lakes Casino and Racetrack is at 10:00 a.m.  ** Pickup times may change depending on your pickup location. Please refer to email communication from Crush Beer and Wine Tours for specific pickup information.**

Bully Hill Vineyards

In the heart of Finger Lakes Wine Country stands Bully Hill Vineyards. Bully Hill’s history started almost 150 years ago when master cooper Walter Taylor decided to branch out into wine-making by founding the Taylor Wine Company in 1880.  Overlooking the lake you can taste over 40 wines at our tasting bar with energetic and knowledgeable staff. Like many other winemakers of his time, he started small and rustic; by the mid-century, Bully Hill eventually became the largest winery on the eastern coast. Nearly a hundred years later, history would repeat itself as Walter’s grandson, Walter S. Taylor decided to start his own winery on the very spot his grandfather had; the hillside commonly known as Bully Hill.
