Best Wineries In The Adirondacks | Saranac Waterfront Lodge

A trip to the Adirondacks at Saranac Waterfront Lodge can mean many things, not least some of the finest outdoor recreation, sightseeing, and full-on R&R available in Upstate New York.

It may surprise you to learn that it can also mean tasting some fabulous local wine. After all, not everybody knows that the greater Adirondack region—this grand, gobsmackingly beautiful New England mountainscape—includes more than a few vineyards and wineries, producing homegrown vino of highly sippable quality.

Winery-Hopping on an Adirondack Getaway to Saranac Waterfront Lodge

You can see a fairly comprehensive list of regional wineries “ripe” for a visit during a Saranac Waterfront Lodge escape courtesy of the Adirondack Regional Tourism Council right here.

Among your options within day-tripping distance of our welcoming resort on the shores of Lake Flower’s Pontiac Bay are several over toward that glorious inland "sea" of Lake Champlain, including Hid-in-Pines Vineyard (456 Soper St, Morrisonville, NY) and Highlands Vineyard (1092 Highlands Rd, Keeseville, NY), offering tastes of fine Champlain Valley grape.

You can also steer your way toward the Lake George (285 Canada St) or Queensbury (395 Big Bay Rd) tasting rooms of Adirondack Winery, or check out Bright Star Winery (419 NY-95, Moira, NY) or High Peaks Winery (805 Pickle Street, Winthrop, NY).

We’re only really gesturing at the variety of vineyards and tasting rooms at your fingertips within our greater Adirondack backyard here at Saranac Waterfront Lodge. Hopefully you get the picture, though: There’s plenty of locally made wine and beautifully situated viticultural setups in and around these glorious Adirondack Mountains, and our lakeside lodge provides a heck of a launchpad for exploring them!

Wine Appreciation at Saranac Waterfront Lodge on Lake Flower

Of course, you can also indulge in some fine-grade wine appreciation at our Lake Flower lodge itself, perched at the watery doorstep of the beautiful Saranac Chain of Lakes threaded through the Adirondack High Peaks.

Our on-site dining establishments, including the Boathouse Saranac Lake Pub (one of the great waterfront eateries and watering holes in the area), our elegant fine-dining hotspot, Harvest, and our lobby Navigator’s Lounge, give you plenty of opportunities to enjoy a glass (or share a bottle!) of wine within our lovely embrace.

So come join us for an unbeatable perch in the Adirondack High Peaks and Saranac Chain of Lakes region at our LEED-certified waterfront lodge, and—besides epicurean delights in our own restaurants and lounges—sample what Adirondack wine tastes like, and the scenic backdrops its grapevines enjoy, with a bit of regional winery-touring!
