Amelia Enjoys the Cayuga Lake Wine & Herb Festival

This past Sunday I went to the Cayuga Lake Wine & Herb Festival along the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail. At each winery you get an herb plant, food made from that plant, the recipe, and wine!
                              This fantastic view is from Goose Watch Winery.

Here I am with my souvenir glass enjoying the Sesame Chicken Pasta Salad at Goose Watch Winery!

Another gorgeous view of Cayuga Lake. The weather was just perfect!

I think there's wine in there! I'm at the Cayuga Ridge Estate Winery.

This is my new friend, Sam. I told him that I lived with a dog named Sam! This Sam lives at Buttonwood Grove Winery.

EEEKK! Wine tasting can be dangerous, especially for a rat at Thirsty Owl Winery.

I just had to take time to tip-toe through the tulips at Lucas Vineyards.

Here's a view from the East side of Cayuga Lake. I'm at Long Point Winery.

Isn't this old barn neat?

Look at the bounty! These are all the herbs...and a strawberry plant...that we got to take home. I love this wine trail event!

Cayuga Lake Wine and Herb Fest 2011

Today I went to the Finger Lakes region of New York for the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail's Wine & Herb Fest.

At each of the 16 wineries along the trail you get an herb or veggie plant along with some food made with that plant, the recipe, and some wine!

We had Peachy White Lavender Trifle here. Oh-we got a white lavender plant...not a peach tree.

What a gorgeous view.

I had a special treat for Melody, the Scottish Highland Cow, but she stayed in her barn at Buttonwood Grove Winery.

Another gorgeous view from the other side of the lake.

My new friend, Chip, gave me the lowdown on his winery, Long Point.

This was my 15th winery of the day. Am I a little blurry?

Look at the wonderful herbs and veggies I got today! There's cilantro, sage, rosemary, lemon thyme, basil, Thai basil, onions, fernleaf dill, tomatoes, peppers, oregano, sage, rosemary, savory, and white lavender.
