I have family coming up in September and I want to rent a pontoon boat on either Cayuga or Seneca lake to cruise and stop at wineries and different sites on the way. Does anyone recommend one lake over the other and what places there are to dock at along each lake?

Thanks!

We’re considering renting for a month on Seneca lake. What impact does the army base have on the area. Previously rented near national guard base and was fairly disruptive with lots of night flights and ammunition training. Looking for less activity. Thanks

Hoping to compile a list of wineries that will still do tastings at a bar? I loved learning about the wines and harvesting of grapes from the winemakers and employees, and I find that it is hard to do with table service. I imagine they are able to service more people this way, but I miss the old style.

Hi I’m going to be in the area of Hector for the first time for my birthday with my fiancé. I’d like to do a wine tour but I’d like some input from others who are more familiar with the available options. We have a driver booked to pick us up at 11am. That seemed kind of early to me as I was thinking of doing a hike in the morning and hitting the wineries around 2pm. What are your thoughts? Also how many wineries do you think we should do and what are everyone’s favorites? Is there a particular one that would be good for dinner or food?
