In order not to spend a whole day driving, instead of going right home, we stayed overnight in the NY Finger Lakes. Here we AirBNB'd a little villa next to vineyards on Seneca Lake. The price was about half that of the previous night, and OMG, OMG, such a way better choice than a Holiday Inn.
There are about a hundred wineries in the Finger Lakes, but in my experience you should visit two per day. Because you taste about five wines at each one.
We didn't have much time in order to drive home before dark, so we did our two right in a row. The best of these was McGregor Vineyards, which I had visited 20 years earlier and was still awesome.
That's the trip. It was a great one!
