Michael Turback

Michael Turback, a graduate of Cornell University School of Hotel Administration, operated one of the region’s first destination restaurants, pioneering the farm-to-table and vineyard-to-glass movements. The Los Angeles Times called Turback’s of Ithaca “the first Finger Lakes restaurant to really devote itself to New York’s culinary and enological bounty.” He now writes about all things Finger Lakes – the world-class wines, craft beers, and artisan ciders, and now the region’s treasures off the beaten path.
