The Cayuga Lake Wine Trail has you touring, tasting, and toasting your way through the nation's first organized wine trail, sampling wine, beer, cider and spirits along the way.

Ithaca is home to the tallest singe drop waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains. The 215 ft cascade of Taughannock Falls is 3 stories taller than Niagara Falls.
