Top 10 Places for the “Sweet Tooth” in Ontario County
We have plenty of places in Ontario County to satisfy your sweet tooth. We have picked ten for you that you definitely don't want to miss.
#1. Chocolate, galore.
Sweet Expressions, Canandaigua
Leave your will power at the door of this locally owned and cherished chocolate shop. Fudge, bon-bons, truffles, candies and candied nuts will, uh, drive you nuts. In a good way.
P.S. Looking for another type of Sweet Treat? We recommend three different wines from the Finger Lakes to fit this category. Rieslings are the iconic Finger Lakes wine. For dessert, order a Late Harvest style and sip it slightly chilled. Another choice? Ice wines or iced wines. And, finally? A port wine or cream sherry might just be the perfect degree of smooth sweetness to satisfy your palate. Another idea? Buy one and take it home with you to share with your friends while you tell them why they need to vacation in the Finger Lakes.
