- Most Finger Lakes wineries are dog-friendly, allowing dogs in their outdoor spaces. However, we only label a winery as 'Dog Friendly' if they welcome well-behaved, leashed dogs inside the tasting room. It's important to note that when dogs aren't allowed indoors, it's usually due to New York state health regulations, not the winery's preference. Service animals are always permitted, as required by the ADA.
-
- The Finger Lakes region offers a wide variety of winery sizes. Some are larger and more accommodating to groups, while others have limited space and enforce strict group size limits. Many wineries also restrict buses and limos due to parking constraints. We consider a winery group-friendly if they welcome walk-ins of 8 to 11 people or accept reservations for groups of 12 or more. Even better are those that accommodate very large groups (20+ with reservations) and allow buses and limos.
