PLACES TO STAY

NEARBY WINERIES, BREWERIES & TASTING ROOMS

  • While not technically in Lewis County, they are only a short 20 min drive from us in Black River, NY.

  • Lowville, NY

  • Also, not in Lewis County, but not too far away in Boonville, NY.

  • You can find taverns scattered all across Lewis County…even out in the middle of seemingly nowhere; and, they have some pretty amazing food, as well! Every place we can think of has their own signature flavor of chicken wing, which do pair with our Tug Hill Vineyards wines quite nicely (We know, we’ve tried MANY of them). So whether you’re in West Leyden, Castorland, Brantingham, or way up near Harrisville, there’s bound to be a tavern nearby.
