Sip, savor and shop at the region's ultimate
wine event taking place July 14-16, 2006 The
Finger Lakes Wine Festival®, supported by The
Corning Museum of Glass.
Celebrate ten years of wine at The Glen, the
world-renowned road course (Watkins Glen
International) will once again replace oil slicks
with red wine stains as the track's inner grounds
are trans formed into the site of one of the East
Coast's premier wine festivals.
The original Festival was held in 1994 and
again in 1995 at the New York Chiropractic Col-
lege in Seneca Falls. Organized by winery owner
Doug and Suzie Knapp (Knapp Vineyards), the
Festival created an opportunity to raise the pro-
file of the region's wine industry. Watkins Glen
International bought the rights to the Festival
in 1996 as a tool to build tourism to the area.
The track's infrastructure offered wineries a venue
to show their collective achievements in grape grow-
ing and wine making. The Festival was not sched-
uled in 1996 to allow for proper planning and
promotion of the event at its new home. July 26
and 27, 1997, marked the beginning of a new
era for The Finger Lakes Wine Festival at Watkins
Glen International.
In an effort to support the local wine pro-
ducers, The Corning Museum of Glass, one of
the region's top attractions, became the event's
major sponsor in 2001. The Museum provides
live glassmaking demonstrations onsite to give fes-
tival-goers a taste of the activities offered at the
nearby attraction. The pieces that are made at the
Festival are raffled off to the crowd.
The 2006 Festival will officially kick-off at 6p.m.
Friday, July 14, with the 5th annual toga party,
"Yancey's Fancy Cheese Launch of The Lakes".
Saturday and Sunday mornings will begin with
the Great Western Chardonnay Champagne
Breakfast at the exclusive Glen Club, while Sat-
urday evening is topped off with the Tasters'
Banquet, where some of the ares finest wines can
be sampled with dinner.
Over 70 prestigious wineries from Upstate
New York will offer tastings and sales Saturday
and Sunday, from 10a.m. through 5p.m. Enjoy shop-
ping quality arts & crafts, gourmet foods, and
wine related items. Celebrity chefs from the
region, along with Chef Paul Mach, star of "You're
The Chef", will perform cooking demonstrations
pairing local food products with New York wines.
Knowledgeable vintners will speak at several
educational wine seminars throughout the week-
end, sponsored by the New York Wine and Grape
Foundation. Live music will keep your toes tap-
ping, and in the center of it all, watch master
glassblowers at The Hot
Glass Road Show, cour-
tesy of The Corning Muse-
um of Glass. New for 2006
is Finger Lakes Tri-fecta's
final bicycle race, hosted by
FingerLakesRacing.com,
Saturday night at 5:30p.m.
