There’s a reason why Ithaca, NY is called gorge-ous! It boasts a variety of gorges and 150 waterfalls from Ithaca Falls bordering a downtown neighborhood to Triphammer Falls on the Cornell University campus to Buttermilk Falls just outside of town (named because its churning waters look like foaming buttermilk) and perhaps the most famous, Taughannock Falls (photo to right.) Taughannock Falls is a 215-plunge waterfall that is the highest single-drop waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains. Whether you’d like to enjoy views from your coach or on a boat ride, or enjoy a hike along side the waters, we’ve got the right option for your travelers in the Southern NY Finger Lakes. And there’s plenty of other liquid options in the region as well including a variety of wineries with offerings from sweet to dry, and breweries where you’ll learn how grains are stewed to create a mash, then the sweet liquid wort drained from the mash and fermented to make beer. From lagers and ales, to wheat beers, stouts and more there’s plenty to try. The area also boasts Cornell Plantations for driving tours of the award-winning arboretum plus botanical gardens, Cornell Orchards for great fall apples, Cornell University driving tour, lakeside dining or a meal under a mural at an Italian hot spot, local ice cream, a distillery, MacKenzie-Childs over-the-top showroom, and nearby cheese maker where you can meet his goats, see how he makes his cheese and then enjoy a tasting including a personal cheesecake if you wish. Turn this into a great hub-and-spoke tour by also visiting:

♦ Watkins Glen, half an hour away, offering laps and lunch at the Watkins Glen International raceway, Racing Research Library, plus narrated lake cruise with meal options.

♦ Auburn, about an hour away, featuring a Tiffany Chapel with organ demo, Harriet Tubman House, Seward House and Maple Farm.
