A month-long celebration of the apple harvest is underway in western New York.

Wayne County tourism is partnering with 12 local businesses to host the 19th Wayne County Apple Tour, starting with a "Tasting Weekend" October 7th to the 10th, according to director of tourism, Christine Worth.

She says there's a good reason for the annual celebration of the apple in Wayne County.

"We're the number one apple producer in New York State, so we grow over a third of all the apples. And really, a lot of the farms are multi-generational," she said.

Through the tour, people can visit those farms, farm markets, winneries and a distillery.

"Learn about the apple, so each of the markets will have a tasting set up that actually educates you on what apple is good for baking or what apple is good for eating.  So it really delivers a lot of information," she said.

The tour runs all this month, starting with a "Tasting Weekend" this Friday through Monday.
