Things To Do
Welcome to the heart of New York State! While we're very excited to see you at our wedding on Saturday, we're almost as excited for you to explore and experience the Finger Lakes.
This is a special place to visit at any time of the year, but early summer brings countless things to do. Here you'll find vineyards and wineries, waterfalls, and a whole host of artisans who have set up shop in the area. Explore our many hiking trails and public lands, check out a museum, or experience the restaurant scene (Ithaca has more restaurants per capita than NYC!). Our venue is a 30 minute drive from Ithaca, a 15 minute drive from Watkins Glen, and just 10 minutes from the Seneca Lake Wine Trail!
Below, we've included some recommendations that we think you might enjoy during your stay. Enjoy!
