Finger Lakes
The Finger Lakes is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located in upstate New York, characterized by its unique glacial lakes and hilly terrain.

The AVA encompasses several lakes, with Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake being the largest, influencing local microclimates and extending the growing season. The region has gained recognition for its production of high-quality Riesling, among other varietals.
