Things To Do

Important Winery Note:

If you plan to winery (or brewery) hop, note that many wineries shut down around 5pm. They often have special events like live music on weekends, but just be sure to research the locations if you plan to be out past late afternoon.

Canandaigua Wine Trail

The Canandaigua wine trail runs along the western shore of Canandaigua, past Bristol Harbour. Note: most wineries close by 5 or 6 pm so keep that in mind as you make your plans.

Keuka Wine Trail

Keuka is the Y shaped lake directly to the east of Canandaigua. It will take approximately 40 minutes to get from Bristol Harbour to the town of Branchport on Keuka. Note: most wineries close by 5 or 6 pm so keep that in mind as you make your plans.

Seneca Lake Wine Trail

Seneca lake is the "home lake" of the Snyder family and features many of the Finger Lakes wineries. Geneva, NY, located at the top of Seneca, is approximately 40 minutes from Bristol Harbour. Note: most wineries close by 5 or 6 pm so keep that in mind as you make your plans.

Bully Hill Vineyards

This restaurant/winery has gorgeous gardens and good food! The wine isn't the reason to go here, but it is drinkable.

Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery

Hammondsport

Hammondsport is at the south end of Keuka, and a very cute (quaint) town to walk around. There are several restaurants, ice cream shops, etc.

Dano's Heuriger On Seneca

This is one of our favorites! Its a bit of a trek from the Venue, but if you explore seneca, we highly recommend it! It's austrian food, and very sharable if you go with a group. Megan's sister and brother in law even got married there 8 years ago!
