Find the Perfect Distillery on Seneca Lake

Finger Lakes Distilling

Finger Lakes Distilling is a fantastic attraction on the southeastern side of Seneca Lake. Any day of the week (besides holidays), you can try some of the best spirits in the Finger Lakes. Made from all-natural, local ingredients, their vodka, gin, brandy, liqueur, and whiskey will have you feeling fantastic! You can also try drinks from their extensive menu of flights and cocktails. Itâs not on their main menu, but ask for the Seneca Cookout Cooler to feel like youâre at a cookout on a bright and sunny day.

They have two touring options you can consider. On Saturdays from May to November, you can take a Mckenzie Whiskey or Barrel House Flight tour of the production area, barrelhouse, and bottling operations!

OâBegley Distillery

Drink like an Irish when you visit OâBegly Distillery on the southwestern side of the lake. You wouldnât expect to find Irish whiskey in this tiny building in Dundee, but low and behold, this is where youâll find the pot of gold! Every ingredient at OâBegleys is of the highest quality, and their whiskey is made from local grains. Choose from a long list of unique whiskeys when you visit any day between noon and 5 p.m.

Idol Ridge Winery and Alder Creek Distillery

Come to Idol Ridge Winery and Alder Creek Distillery for the best of both worlds. Experience their wine tastings or try from their line of spirits, including bourbon and gin. Then, enjoy a glass of wine, artisanal cheeses, sausages, and local chocolates, alongside a panoramic view of Seneca Lake.
