Finger Lakes Foodie Tour

If tasting your way through a destination is your kind of adventure then Ontario County is your dream culinary paradise. Our regional ingredients are ridiculously fresh and lovingly cultivated by producers who are passionate about what they do.  Local chefs create masterpieces with seasonal bounty that pair perfectly with fine wines, innovative beers and ciders and smooth spirits crafted here in the Finger Lakes.

Your group can take a cooking class at the New York Kitchen, learn about and purchase Iroquois White Corn at Ganondagan State Historic Site and indulge in everything chocolate at Sweet Expressions. Seasonal offerings include maple tastings at the Cumming Nature Center and blueberry picking at Embers Rising Farm.  A visit to Joseph's Wayside Market or the year-round Canandaigua Farmer’s Market are perfect opportunities to buy some the Finger Lakes freshest fruits and vegetables as well as juices and jams to bring home. And what would a visit to the Finger Lakes be without wine?  A winery, brewery, distillery and/or cidery tour is a must to round out your culinary experience.
