We are committed to various and ongoing philanthropic efforts in our community and beyond.

Our focus is on fostering meaningful connections between current and future & hospitality industry leaders, promoting Cornell’s founding principle of ‘… any person … any study’, and supporting other mission-focused individuals and organizations such as Cornell Hotel Society and The James Beard Foundation.

Community matters, and together we can accomplish more.

This simple website highlights exceptional Finger Lakes wineries with which I W V has no commercial relationship. These independent - often small and family-run businesses - craft beautiful wines that tell the story of our region.

So if we’re going to have a website, we might as well try and do something helpful with it. All to say that if you visit or live near Ithaca, we invite and encourage you to discover them.

The nobility of service and unreasonable hospitality.
