NEWFIELD, N.Y. — Finger Lakes Distilling has opened a second location at 1143 Elmira Road in Newfield, in Tompkins County.
While initially intended to support storage needs for barrels and finished goods, the facility will also serve as bottling location in the future. No distilling takes place on site, but the location does offer an adjacent tasting room that will offer craft cocktails and flights, bottle sales of Finger Lakes Distilling spirits, and light food items.
“This expansion nearly doubles our operational footprint,” Finger Lakes Distilling Owner Brian McKenzie said in a statement. “The Newfield location will allow us to better serve both our existing customers and the many travelers along Route 13, providing a convenient and welcoming space to enjoy our spirits.”
The space opened with a soft launch this month and is open Fridays through Sundays from 1-8 p.m. Expanded hours are planned for the spring.
Future plans also include hosting educational events about spirits and distillation, guided barrel house tours, private barrel selections, space rental for small events, and collaborations with local foot trucks and other food options.
Headquartered in Burdett, in Schuyler County, Finger Lakes Distilling has been producing whiskey, vodka, gin, brandy, and liqueurs since 2008. The business also provides bulk spirits for local wineries and cideries.
