We are thrilled that one of our favorite wineries, Osmote is now open for the season. It's a MUST stop on your next visit to the Finger Lakes! 🥂

Okay but have you been to Osmote yet this season?

Perched up on Burdett Hill with Seneca Lake spread out below you, winemaker Ben Ricardi doing wildly creative things with French hybrids and pet nats, and yes, pigs.

The Cayuga Pet Nat is the move. Open air tasting room, games, zero pressure to leave anytime soon.

This one's a must stop.

Watkins Glen Gorge Trail Update: The install of this new bridge is a major project and will completely transform the way you enter the famous Gorge Trail. We can't wait to see it in action!

Replacing an Icon at Watkins Glen (update): The new steel footbridge being installed at Watkins Glen State Park in the Finger Lakes has been set into place with a large crane this morning. They’re making minor alignment adjustments this afternoon. Handrails go up tomorrow and detail work will take place in the following weeks such as masonry, new lighting in the tunnel leading to the bridge, etc.. This steel span is replacing the old Sentry Bridge stone arch that had been there since 1908. It will take several weeks for the bridge project to be completed. This main entrance to the gorge trail is expected to be open in time for July 4th. Rim trails at the park remain open year round. The gorge trail, closed each winter, is undergoing the customary spring maintenance and should be open in early May. That trail will be able to be accessed by the rim trails while work on this bridge is finished up. As noted in an earlier post, Twin Tier Constructors out of Scottsville, NY is handling the work there on site. The bridge was made at LMC Industrial Contractors in Dansville, NY at their fabrication shop. This bridge will serve as the gateway for an estimated two million visitors a year to enter the sting gorge.
