Distilleries

With over 100 wineries dotting the landscape of the Finger Lakes region, it was only a matter of time before interest in fine spirits prompted many local wine makers to experiment with distilling. Now more than a half dozen distilling operations are found throughout the Finger Lakes.

The only stand alone distillery in the area, Finger Lakes Distilling, resides near Seneca Lake and specializes in gin, whisky, brandy, vodka, grappa and liqueurs. Other facilities with distilling operations include Hidden Marsh Distillery (specializing in Vodka made from mead), Knapp Winery, Swedish Hill Winery, Rock Stream Vineyards, Six Mile Creek Vineyards and Beak and Skiff Apple Farm (who makes vodka from apples).  Whatever flavor you crave, local distilleries offer a change of taste and a range of beverages to satisfy every palette.
