Once a year, Watkins Glen International transforms from The Soul of American Road Racing into the Finger Lake’s largest tasting room, where over 600 New York wines will be sampled. The celebration kicks-off Friday evening, July 13th, with wine and togas at “Yancey’s Fancy Cheese Launch of the Lakes.” Saturday and Sunday the Festival will feature a variety of wine, food, and arts and crafts from across the state, culinary classes, cooking demonstrations, wine seminars, pace car rides, live music and much more.
