Visit Ithaca
The Ithaca Craft beverage scene offers something for every palate! See for yourself why the Finger Lakes is considered the Wine Region of the East as you hop around to over 25 unique wineries on the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail. We have incredible cideries to visit as well, showcasing ciders made from locally sourced apples and other fruits. Breweries are popping up all over Ithaca and are great places to sample hoppy IPAs, mild summer lagers, heavy stouts and porters.
