Downtown Canandaigua

“Canandaigua” is the Iroquois word for “chosen spot” and the area is truly blessed with spectacular scenery. It's renowned for its wineries, fruits and vegetables. Come enjoy water sports in the spring and summer, snow sports in the winter and beautiful fall foliage. 

The pride and joy of all Canandaigua is the lake. The third largest of the eleven Finger Lakes, its scenic beauty prompted one author to deem it “the Gem of the Inland Lakes.” The splendor of the lake and its surrounding rolling hills combine to make this area truly one of the most beautiful places in the United States. It is not hard to imagine why the Senecas and countless others since then have chosen to settle in Canandaigua.
