2 carefully curated photography spots with GPS coordinates, shooting tips, and local insights
Vineyard View Winery
Vineyard View Winery sits above Keuka Lake offering vineyard rows, stone tasting-room terraces and panoramic lake vistas — ideal for wide landscape compositions, vineyard-detail closeups and sunset reflections. Best light is golden hour at sunrise or sunset; autumn provides dramatic color. Property is accessible by car with on-site parking; check winery hours and tasting-room access before visiting and ask about drone/use restrictions. Weekdays and early mornings have fewer visitors.
Branchport, NY - USA Field
Branchport sits at Keuka Lake’s narrow north tip — photogenic shoreline, docks, seasonal vineyards and rolling hills. Shoot lake reflections, long piers and small-town architecture at golden hour; autumn foliage and calm pre-dawn water are especially rewarding. Easily reached on NY-54A with roadside parking and small public access points; no entry fees. Weekdays and early mornings avoid visitors. Weather: calm mornings for glassy water, breezy afternoons may produce waves.
