The Finger Lakes Region is known for being home to some of the best vineyards in the Northeast, but there are other reasons to visit! If you’re looking to enjoy a drink or two with a gorgeous backdrop, check out one of New York’s favorite distilleries. Krooked Tusker Distillery is a small-batch distillery perched on a hill near Keuka Lake. It’s the peaceful environment we all look for on a lazy weekend afternoon.

While many people head to the Finger Lakes to enjoy a leisurely wine tour, a trip to this small-batch distillery might be a good way to change up your normal routine.
