Finger Lakes Wine Tour

An immersive weekend exploration of the Finger Lakes region—its landscapes, wineries, and rhythm—guided by local knowledge, thoughtful pacing, and a deep appreciation for regional character.

Day 1 — Friday - Arrival & Welcome

  • Travel independently to Canandaigua, New York.

  • Check in at Hotel Canandaigua, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

  • Check-in begins at 3:00 PM

In the early evening, we’ll gather informally for a welcome cocktail at the hotel’s lobby bar—a relaxed opportunity to gather, meet other guests, settle in, and ease into the weekend.

Day 2 — Saturday, - Exploring the Finger Lakes

The morning is unhurried.

For those who’d like, enjoy a gentle walk along the Canandaigua Lake shoreline path before breakfast or at your own pace.

Late morning, we’ll gather at the hotel for wine tour departure.

12:00 PM – 5:00 PM | Curated Wine Tour

A guided exploration of the Finger Lakes wine region, including transportation, tastings, and time to enjoy the landscape along the way.

Featured stops include:

  • Hunt Country Vineyards

  • Dr. Frank’s Vinifera Wine Cellars

  • Finger Lakes Distillery

  • Bully Hill Vineyards

We’ll return to the hotel by early evening.

Dinner is on your own, allowing space to relax or explore independently.

A local favorite recommendation is The Cove at Canandaigua Lake, where lakeside seating and an outdoor fire create an easy, unhurried close to the day.

Day 3 — Sunday - Water, Departure & Closing

Sunday morning is relaxed.

For those who choose, optional paddleboarding on Canandaigua Lake offers a final way to enjoy the water before departure. (Weather-dependent.)
