A pioneer of the Finger Lakes wine region, Knapp Winery has been producing beloved wines for 40 years, specializing in premium reds like Cabernet Franc—the first planted and vinified in the region—and signature Rieslings. Located steps from Cayuga Lake, they offer tastings, live music, events, and Field & Vine, the first winery restaurant on the lake opened in 1992. Visitors can enjoy wine cruises, private events, and summer getaways on the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail.
