We are off to begin our New York 100. It is so good to be traveling again after spending the past 3 months at home. The most excitment we had each week was picking up our order from Walmart. We left Saybrook about 10:30 am and arrived in Geneseo, NY at the Deer Run Winery about 2:30 pm. We are in the western Finger Lakes area.
Deer Run Winery.
We joined Harvest Hosts. They have over 1000 wineries and farms that provide free camping for RVers. This is our first time staying at a host winery. We were not disappointed.
We have two reasons for trying Harvest Hosts: 1. We feel it is a good way to avoid crowds and still be able to travel. 2. We really, really like wine 🙂
Nice walk through the vineyards.
We of course did some wine tasting. Beky was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed visiting with her. She is a biking enthusiast also. The Chardonnay was our favorite and we just had to take a bottle with us.
All the employees wore masks and guests were required to wear masks in the gift shop. Hand sanitizer was available at the door. Did you know that the distance between 2 wine barrels is 6 feet. Perfect for social distancing.
The winery closed at 5 pm and we are the only RV here. So very quiet and peaceful. Ahhhhh…..
Deer Run Winery – peaceful place to stay.
Tomorrow we we plan to ride the Lehigh Valley Trail. The trail head is about 15 minutes from the winery.
No tow vehicle with us on this trip so will be parking the motorhome at the trailhead.
It was so nice to visit with you two and learn of your travels! I hope your ride today was enjoyable – you certainly have wonderful weather for it!
We were so happy to have you stay overnight with us. May you enjoy your trip and have wonderful times ahead! We hope to cross paths with you again one day… 🙂
