Hammondsport, NY 14840

It’s rare to find a quiet, unassuming town of less than 1,000 residents to have so profoundly impacted the world as Hammondsport, NY. A destination for sports enthusiasts and leisure travelers since the mid-1800s, Keuka Lake is the most distinct of all the Finger Lakes thanks to its unusual Y-shape creating majestic panoramas and breathtaking views from the many vineyards found along its steep slopes. Located at the southern tip of Keuka Lake, Hammondsport has long played an integral role in the development of the Finger Lakes region as a world class wine destination, for it was there that the first grapes in the region were planted by Reverend Bostwick back in 1829 and where Pleasant Valley Wine Company (the first winery in the region and the first bonded winery in the country) was founded in 1860. Voted "Coolest Small Town in America" by readers of Budget Travel, Hammondsport blends fun outdoor activities (like paddle boarding, seaplane rides, fishing), breathtaking scenery, award-winning wines and craft beverages, excellent food, and the chance to settle in and experience the best of lake life for yourself. "At the base of Keuka Lake is my favorite of the Finger Lakes small towns, Hammondsport. Idyllic in every sense of the word, this village of 800 people boasts the most charming town square, veteran’s memorial &, like any good small town, both a tavern & ice cream shop. I love Hammondsport's small-town friendliness & easy access to the chill-est of the Finger Lakes." – Christina Saul, View from My Middle Seat
