Geology tells a little less romantic story, informing us that at the end of the last ice age, over one hundred-thousand years ago, massive sheets of ice, called glaciers, advanced southward from Canada carving deep trenches in the earth like a trowel. As the earth warmed and the glaciers receded, the trenches filled with water and formed what we now know as the Finger Lakes. There are 11 lakes that make up what are traditionally considered the Finger Lakes, known for their breathtaking natural beauty. The deep waters of the largest lakes, combined with the high hills alongside, create a “micro-climate” ideal for wine production.

The Sweet Treat Trail is all about the unique sweets and treats that Cayuga County has to offer. Whether it’s honey or jam or homemade cookies made with locally-grown and produced products, we have everything to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings. From north to south in Cayuga County, it seems like all roads lead to yummy goodness!

Begin your sweet adventure in northern Cayuga County with a stop at Fly By Night Cookie Company in Fair Haven – famous for their homemade cookies, pastries, pies and cakes made from scratch with real eggs, butter, and fruit from local farms. From Fair Haven head south on Route 34 to Carolyn's Creations, a quaint village bakery located in Cato, offering cakes, cookies, pies and other tasty baked goods made from scratch with locally produced ingredients. From Cato, head south to Auburn and then west on Genesee Street until you reach Morgan's Half Acre Produce. This well known farm stand offers locally produced maple syrup and honey as well as a variety of jams and jellies made with fruits fresh from the farm. Turn south on Route 326 and make your next stop The Apple Station where you can treat yourself to sweet cider, baked apple cider donuts and fruit wines. From Route 326, follow NYS Scenic Byway Route 90 along the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake to your final stop, the Aurora Farmers Market to pick up fresh fruit, homemade waffles, honey and more.

Set in the heart of the Finger Lakes, Cayuga County is known for our high quality wines and culinary bounty. Enjoy a full day of experiencing what farm-to-table really means!

Start the day on a quest for the perfect wine glasses at MacKenzie-Childs. Tour the restored Victorian farmhouse overlooking Cayuga Lake and see the beautiful hand–decorated tableware and home furnishings, then shop in their always fanciful and unique store. With your new glasses in hand, head south to the historic Village of Aurora overlooking Cayuga Lake and browse the eclectic shops. Be sure to stop at Bet the Farm Winery & Gourmet Market where you can taste a variety of Finger Lakes wines and shop for a quality selection of gourmet foods from throughout the Finger Lakes Region. By now you are probably getting hungry, so make a stop at the Aurora Inn or Fargo Bar & Grill where you’ll enjoy seasonal dishes made with regionally grown and produced products whenever possible. After lunch, it’s time for a little more wine tasting. Head south to Long Point Winery, Bright Leaf Vineyard and Treleaven by King Ferry Winery, each winery with it’s own specialty and unique story. You’ll want to pick up a few bottles to bring home and remember your Finger Lakes wining and dining experience! Finish the day with a stop at The Apple Station, a great place to u-pick and buy apples that also features apple, grape, and blended fruit wines as well as some of the best apple cider donuts you’ll ever taste!
