Epicurean Excursions with Abby Nash offers Guided Tours of the Best Wineries and Restaurants of the Finger Lakes

The Finger Lakes region of New York State is now a world class food and wine destination.  Abby Nash and Celia Clement have partnered to offer the first group epicurean-themed visits to this region.  Their new business, Epicurean Excursions with Abby Nash, provides 5-day, 4-night tour packages with guided visits to the best wineries and restaurants of the Finger Lakes with deluxe accommodations at La Tourelle Resort and Spa. Abby Nash was the chef/owner of Abby’s restaurant and is a former faculty member of Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration.  He now teaches the very popular Cornell Adult University wine courses, leads CAU Wine Study tours, and conducts wine education events. 

Nash will lead the groups through barrel tastings at the top wineries.  Guests will enjoy meals specially prepared by the finest area chefs, while three of the chefs will conduct private cooking classes for the group.  Dinners feature Abby’s matches of Finger Lakes wines with their worldwide counterparts.  Experience! the Finger Lakes, LLC will chauffer guests in a private van to wineries and restaurants on Keuka, Seneca and Cayuga Lakes.  Depending on the season and the weather, the itinerary may include visits to a goat cheese dairy, a farmers market, or foraging for wild mushrooms or picking fresh fruit.  These special tours are offered in April, June, August and October.  Custom tours are also available.
