Travel Information

Travel Note

Important Travel Notes

We are getting married at the Mansion at Keuka Lake (formerly the Esperanza Mansion), which is located outside of any town. We recommend staying with us here to avoid driving after the reception. If you are flying in from out of town, please note that there are no rideshare or taxi services regularly available in the area. You must either rent a car or pre-book transportation to the area. If you are interested in carpooling/sharing transportation, reach out to Jt and Derek so they can connect you with other guests who are coming in from out of town. See below for our recommended hotels and airports. We also recommend looking at home rentals, as they might be fairly affordable during this time of year.

This is where we'll be having the reception; there is a room block available. To book, it is recommended to call the hotel rather than use the website as the room block (and associated group rate) is only available by phone. Their number is (315) 239-4800.

Arguably best wine in Upstate New York, right across from where Jt spent his days growing up and where we both spend summer weekends. Tastings run $15 per person.

Keuka Lake Outlet Trail

Keuka Lake Outlet Trail, Penn Yan, NY 14527

Multiple places to park and explore along the trail. Highly recommend going to see the Seneca Mills Falls, with parking located near N 42.664484 N, W -77.002507.

Amity Coffee Co.

3 Main Street, Penn Yan, NY 14527

For the digital nomads coming to our wedding, this coffee shop is highly recommended for grabbing a drink and working.

Tavern Restaurant

For those seeking a local bar experience, this is the place to go. You might run into my Aunt Marge while you're there. Definitely on the casual side.
