Vinyards and Vistas

A Curated Finger Lakes Wine Weekend

September 25-27, 2026

A refined weekend in the New York Finger Lakes region — where exceptional wine, lake views, and thoughtful company come together in a beautifully designed experience.

Everything is arranged. You simply arrive.

The Experience

This is not a typical wine tour.

Vineyards & Vistas is a hosted, small-group weekend designed for those who want to experience the Finger Lakes well—without the effort of planning or the uncertainty of piecing it together themselves.

Over three days, you’ll move through a thoughtfully paced experience of:

exceptional wineries

scenic landscapes

relaxed, unhurried moments

and easy, natural connection with a small group

Come on your own or with someone you love—either way, you’ll be in the right company.

The Flow of the Weekend

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 for a welcome cocktail at the hotel’s lobby bar—a relaxed introduction to the group and a gentle start to the weekend.

The tone is set early: easy, welcoming, and unhurried.

Saturday — Vineyards & Vistas

The morning is intentionally slow.

Enjoy a quiet walk along the Canandaigua Lake shoreline, take your time over breakfast, or simply ease into the day.

Late morning, we’ll gather for departure.

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

• or continue the evening with others

A recommended option: The Cove at Canandaigua Lake, known for its lakeside setting and relaxed atmosphere.

Sunday — Water & Close

The final morning remains open and unhurried.

For those interested, optional paddleboarding on Canandaigua Lake offers a last, quiet connection to the landscape. (Weather permitting)
