Keuka Lake Region






On Friday morning we drove to the Watkins Glen track before we moved 32 miles to the Camp Bell CG in Campbell, NY. It is well located for touring the Keuka Lake region. After setting up we drove to Bath to a Camping World store to buy a folding stepladder and a couple other things we needed. At the campground many of the campers were square dancers who were here for a weekend of music and dancing. We talked with several of them and enjoyed their entertainment.
On Saturday we toured wineries. Nanc was very impressed with the varieties of dry New York wines. Each winery is unique in how the tastings are done. At Dr. Franks there were only 8 people at the table and we got to try about 10 wines if Nanc & I shared. At Bully Hill there were 50 to 75 people and it was wild. Both places had some excellent wines. Driving around the lakes offers outstanding views at every turn.
On Sunday we drove to the Fox Run Winery's Garlic Festival. I for one was amazed at the different types and tastes of garlic. They had a number of vendors, food and entertainment and of course we bought some garlic.
