About Penn Yan

The village of Penn Yan is the county seat of Yates County. Yates County is filled with everything that gave Finger Lakes Wine Country its name. We border on three glorious Finger Lakes – Seneca, Keuka and Canandaigua – and are home to no less than 20 of the region’s finest wineries.
The combination of lakes, wineries and scenic beauty creates a vacation experience that is second to none. It’s easy to drink in the beauty of the lakes and the country sides that surround them. Your senses will be charged as you travel along a wine trail and enjoy the award winning wines and foods that are prepared especially for you.
Our region has a wealth of historic and comfortable bed and breakfast inns, an eclectic blend of lakeside restaurants and shopping opportunities that range, from country shops to historic shipping districts. Don’t miss the Windmill Farm & Craft Market in Penn Yan, which is the largest farmer’s market in the state.
