Day 1

Our adventure into the Finger Lakes begins with lunch on your own in the village of Watkins Glen. Afterward, we will stop at Watkins Glen State Park, the most famous of the Finger Lakes State Parks. Our visit to Watkins Glen State Park is self-guided and sturdy walking shoes are suggested. As we head out of town, views of Seneca Lake dominate the drive. Our next stop is a cheese tasting at Shtayburne Farm. Tuesday is cheese making day, so there will be an opportunity to see the cheese master at work, as well as taste different cheeses. We arrive in Geneva at our hotel for the next 3 nights, 41 Lakefront. This hotel is directly on Seneca Lake with a paved walkway along the lake, adjacent to the Welcome Center. Dinner this evening will be included at the hotel.

Day 2

After breakfast we head to Deer Haven Park for a guided driving tour. It is home to the world's largest herd of white deer and was once the Seneca Army Depot. You will hear the history of the military in the area, as well as the story of the white deer. A buffet lunch will be included at Ventosa Vineyards, followed by a tasting of their Italian style wines. Be sure to check out the views of Seneca Lake from the balcony. Next, we will go to Rose Hill Mansion for a guided tour. This Greek Revival style building was once the foremost farm in New York State. After a short narration of historic Geneva on the bus, we will return to the hotel. From the hotel, you can walk along the lake, or just sit and enjoy the view with a drink. Dinner is on your own tonight.

Day 3

Following breakfast we'll drive along rolling farmlands to Lazy Acres Alpaca Farm. Here you will enjoy a gentle walking tour, where you will learn about the different kinds of alpacas and alpaca fleece. There will be time to visit with these adorable animals. After lunch on your own, enjoy a narrated cruise on Canandaigua Lake, aboard the Canandaigua Lady. Canandaigua means "the chosen place" in the Native American language. This lake is the most expensive lake property in the United States, with several famous people owning homes there. Ready for a sweet treat? Sweet Expressions is the local candy shop with an enthusiastic owner who loves telling the story of her life with chocolate. Delicious samples will entice you! Tonight, our dinner is at New York Kitchen. The chef will demonstrate making the salad dressing and the dessert that you will enjoy with dinner. Televisions give everyone a perfect view of the process.
