The Showboat is located in the heart of the Finger Lakes wine region. We are situated on the West shores of Seneca Lake halfway between Geneva and Watkins Glen. Our central location is perfect to maximize your wine touring while minimizing your transit time. Take a short trip to one or more of at least 20 wineries within a 10 minute drive of the Showboat or spend the day touring the wine region. All of the Finger Lakes wineries are located within a 25 mile radius of our convenient location.

The Finger Lakes area is New York's largest wine producing region. The area is often compared to the Rhine growing region of Germany. Over 100 wineries and vineyards are centered around Seneca, Cayuga, Canandaigua, Keuka, Conesus and Hemlock lakes. Because of the lakes' great depth, they provide a lake effect to the lush vineyards that flank their shores. The deep lakes help to moderate the local microclimate by retaining residual summer warmth in the winter, and winter's cold in the spring. Most vineyards are planted on steep hillsides overlooking the lakes, which helps provide the vines with proper drainage and sun exposure which reduces the risk of frost. The main grape varieties grown are: Chardonnay, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Vidal Blanc, Seyval Blanc and many vitis labrusca (native American) varieties or cultivars. With the passage of the Farm Winery Act in 1976, numerous wineries have opened their doors to visitors from all over the world.
