When to go

Avoid the harsh winters and visit Finger Lakes during summer and autumn, when the grapes are freshly harvested and the lakes are at their warmest.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Fly into JFK, where you can rent a car and drive for a little under five hours to the Finger Lakes region. If you’re not a fan of the idealistic American road-trip, fly straight into Syracuse or Rochester for a shorter post-flight drive.

  • Trains

    If you’re heading up to Finger Lakes for a weekend away from the city – or just looking for a more scenic route from JFK – catch the Amtrak Empire Train or the Maple Leaf Train from Penn Station to reach Rochester or Syracuse in a little over six hours.

  • Automobiles

    Rent a car and drive through New York State and along the border of Pennsylvania to reach the Finger Lakes region in just under five hours (depending on the time of day).
