Things To Do
Inspire Moore: Finger Lakes Winery & Vineyard
A boutique winery, vineyard and retail shop that is an eco-friendly business focusing on sustainable practices from vineyard to tasting room. The winery has been featured in Brides Magazine for its excellent Love Riesling. Directly next to the tasting room is Roots Cafe, offering hand-made meals featuring as many local ingredients as can be found.
Hazlitt Red Cat Cellars
The 7th generation Hazlitt family continues its 165 plus years family tradition of award-winning viticulture and wine production at Hazlitt Red Cat Cellars, located in the heart of beautiful Naples Valley. Formerly known as Widmer Winery, it's one of this region’s most historic and long-standing wine producers in the nation.

Enthusiasts can get a behind-the-scenes look at the art and science of winemaking by booking a guided facility tour. Friends and families can also enjoy the scenic one-mile hiking trail behind the winery. Wine slushies available. Seasonal hours year-round. Facility Tours must be reserved in advance of visit.
Sonnenberg Gardens & Mansion State Historic Park
Whether strolling through its flower-filled gardens, picnicking under its majestic trees or touring its magnificent mansion, Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion State Historic Park is a very special place. The 50-acre estate is one of just two public gardens in all of the New York State Parks System. A serene respite just blocks away from downtown Canandaigua, Sonnenberg is a gift to the community from Frederick Ferris and Mary Clark Thompson. This couple of the Gilded Age created Sonnenberg (Sunny Hill in German) as their Victorian summer home. It is now a beautiful summer escape visited by tens of thousands of people each year. It is distinctive for its extraordinary collections of period architecture, garden statuary, themed gardens of the world including a Japanese Garden and Teahouse, and a Lord & Burnham Greenhouse Complex. This is where the majority of Nate and Hannah's engagement photo session took place!
Grimes Glen Park
Visitors discover the sights, sounds, and smells of pristine Grimes Creek – its bubbling cascades, crystal clear pools, and two sixty-foot waterfalls, all framed by majestic hemlock trees, bountiful wildflowers in Spring, and shale bluffs towering up to 200 feet overhead.
RMSC Cumming Nature Center
Cumming Nature Center (CNC) is a dynamic environmental education center that celebrates the unique landscape and culture of the Finger Lakes region through hands-on learning opportunities and thoughtful exhibits. Nestled between Canandaigua and Honeoye Lakes, our 900-acre preserve is as beautiful as it is vast. Visitors can explore the Visitors Center and hike more than 15 miles of trails through diverse habitats. From rare hemlock bogs to active beaver ponds to our iconic 90-year old red pine stand, there’s something for everyone at CNC! Our wedding venue is also a fully functioning nature center with miles of trails and plenty of wildlife to observe! We absolutely recommend taking time to explore the beauty of the nature center, it is why we chose it as our venue after all!
