Wine tourism is its own special form of travel, whether you prefer being in nature traipsing among the vines or spending time in elegant tasting rooms (or both). California’s Sonoma and Napa Valley, which can transport you to Tuscany without a Transatlantic flight, are among the country’s most famous wine regions, but the best winery tour in America right now actually isn’t in California. Dr. Konstantin Frank Vineyards in New York State’s Finger Lakes region was recently voted the number one winery tour in the U.S. for the fourth year in a row by the USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. The winery is located in Hammondsport, NY, a village known for its fall foliage views and world-class wine.

A lake paradise considered one of New York’s prettiest regions, the Finger Lakes region is especially known among wine aficionados for its top-notch Riesling. Dr. Konstantin Frank was a U.S. wine pioneer who saw potential in the Finger Lakes, with its unique, glacier-carved landscape. Besides Riesling, however, the region also produces exceptional wines from a variety of grapes, such as Cabernet Franc, as well as hybrid and native North American varieties like Cayuga White and Catawba.

The winning tour at the winery is called the 1886 Wine Experience, referencing the date of its founding as a winemaking property, predating the arrival of Dr. Frank himself. According to the Dr. Konstantin Frank website: “Our 1886 Wine Experience brings us back to our roots. Back to the days when every tasting was intimate and personal. When guests could take their time, learn, savor our wines, and experience the Dr. Frank legacy firsthand.”
