CANANDAIGUA LAKE WINERIES

Among the earliest to host a winery, Canandaigua Lake historically housed one or two wineries; its most notable was the 19^th century Widmer Winery that closed its doors a few years back. Today, the remaining wineries around and near Canandaigua Lake don’t receive as much attention as those around Cayuga Lake, Keuka Lake and Seneca Lake, but Canandaigua wineries produce excellent Finger Lakes wines, and the wineries have joined together to offer the Canandaigua Wine Trail. In addition, the New York Wine & Culinary Center makes its home at the north end of Canandaigua Lake; throughout the year here, you can take wine classes, attend wine tastings, have dinner, or hold a large special event.
