Buzzing at Knapp

  • While the Finger Lakes region is known for white grape varietals, Knapp uniquely prides itself in its premium reds.

  • Knapp is the first winery in the Finger Lakes to plant and vinify the grape variety Cabernet Franc.

  • Recognizing the importance of wine with food, Knapp opened its restaurant in 1992, becoming the very first winery restaurant on Cayuga Lake.

Winter in the FLX

Winter is a beautiful time to visit the Finger Lakes.

The tasting rooms are quieter, providing a slower and more intimate tasting experience. The lakes and trees are peacefully coated in snowy dust. Wineries are releasing their annual ice wines, a truly special wine that only cold-climate areas are able to produce. We invite you to discover the winter magic on Cayuga Lake!
