A Taste of New York Package

A 3-day, 2-night itinerary hub and spoke tour sure to please! Fun stops in some of the Finger Lakes' most charming villages and towns, including Canandaigua, Geneva and Naples.

Day 1 - Welcome to the Finger Lakes
Arrive in Canandaigua in the Finger Lakes Region, NY
Visit the newly opened New York Wine and Culinary Center. New York wants you to taste everything we have to offer. From the finest dining to hundreds of first-rate vineyards and wine makers, plus a rich agricultural heritage, our state is eager to share its flavorful bounty.

Check in to your hotel.
Enjoy a special evening of food and wine pairing at your hotel tonight with top chef at Steamboat Landing.
Return to your hotel.

Day 2 - Canandaigua and Geneva
Enjoy breakfast.
Visit Weaver-View Farms, an Amish County Store. Nostalgia, history, old fashioned shopping on a 220 acre working dairy farm overlooking the west shore of Seneca Lake. Enjoy over 50 varieties of their famous home made jams, jellies, salsas, fruit butters, cheeses and other goodies. Includes your special gift…
Afterwards take the short trip to see Red Jacket Orchards. Located in Geneva, NY along the rolling hills of Seneca Lake, Red Jacket was originally planted in 1917. Today, the orchard and juice company is managed by the second and third generation of the Nicholson family.
Starting with Joe and Emily Nicholson in 1958, they have spent nearly 50 years mastering the art and science of quality fresh fruit and juice production, delivering product of the highest quality and flavor to their customers. In reverence to the environment, Red Jacket employs Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices that are both effective and environmentally friendly. Take a tour of the facility and have an inside look at the recognized by Zagat's, NY Times and Gourmet Magazine.

Enjoy lunch on your own at Wegman's Market Café.
This nationally recognized grocery store and market café develops a year-round appreciation of fresh produce, from the best growers in the region, with chef-developed recipes and techniques that focus on convenience and great taste. Wegman's also introduced their Produce Department's nationally recognized Strive for Five program.
Afterwards stop for wine tasting at Widmer Wine Cellars on the Canandaigua Wine Trail. Located in Naples, NY in the heart of the Finger Lakes Region, Widmer's Wine Cellars had its beginning more than 100 years ago when Swiss winemaker John Jacob Widmer and his wife Lisette ventured to Naples' beautiful valley. A lot has changed over the last century, but the winery has combined Old World tradition and modern technology to work hand-in-hand today to produce more than 50 different wines.

Stop for a chance to sample one of the region's best kept secrets and most talked-about dessert- the Grape Pie as featured on the Food Network-Monica's Pies, in Naples. Although the region is noted for its wine making, only Naples is noted for grape pies. Monica is one of many grape pie makers in the area, but unlike the other pie makers, her grape pies are available at her pie shop year round. Monica and her mother make all kinds of jams, jellies, conserves and gifts along with seasonal and holiday specialties and a vast array of different kind of pies.

Stop by Arbor Hill Grapery for a tour of the facility and canning process, also featured on the Food Network. The Grapery showcases all of the delicious Arbor Hill jams, jellies, and preserves; wine sauces; flavored vinegars; mustards; barbecue sauces; ice tea concentrates and salad dressings - all made one batch at a time by the Brahm family. Their products are open and available for tasting. Stepping up to the tasting bar, you will sample the best of New York Cheese and award-winning dry to sweet wines. You'll find traditional flavors, plus a few new grape varieties, like Traminette. Their wines and cheeses will delight even the most avid wine and cheese enthusiast.

Return to your hotel for some R&R.

Enjoy a short presentation from a member from the Finger Lakes Culinary Bounty. The organization has been developed to enhance tourism and contribute to the economic well being of area farms, food producers, wineries, businesses, and communities. It promotes the unique regional cuisine based on fresh, seasonal locally grown and made ingredients paired with the region's excellent wines to offer an extraordinary culinary experience.
