The vineyards run north to south to take the greatest advantage of good air and water drainage. The prevailing winds are from the south west and the special lake conditions have helped to earn this area's nickname the  “Banana Belt”. The vineyards, which are on Honeoye Loam soil,  are well maintained and show excellent growth and production. There is a gentle slope towards the lake which makes for easy equipment work.
