DAY ONE:
Begin your culinary getaway by checking into your Victorian bed and breakfast located in the heart of the Historic District of Canandaigua within walking distance of restaurants, shops and the breathtaking Canandaigua Lake. The inn has been beautifully restored and is reminiscent of days gone by. Take time to settle in to your alluring accommodations or explore your new neighborhood.

In the evening, head to the New York Wine and Culinary Center where you’ll create your own culinary masterpieces in their state-of-the-art kitchen facilities.

To top of the evening, you'll sit down and savor the gourmet creations over enjoyable conversation.

DAY TWO:
After a delicious breakfast at your inn, the rest of the day is yours to explore the multitude of wineries in the Finger Lakes region. With most wineries open year-round, hire a limo to chauffeur you along the beautiful Canandaigua Wine Trail for a delightful tasting adventure. If you prefer to stick closer to home and still get in some regional wine tasting, head to the Finger Lakes Wine Center where you can sample 10-15 wines in their tasting room. Or take a lunch cruise on stunning Canandaigua Lake, then wander through the nearby shops and galleries. In the evening, sample local fare or venture to a nearby community to get a taste of the area.

DAY THREE:
Start your last day with another delectable breakfast served by your gracious hosts. Then it's off to explore the places you missed or head to the farmer's market for more sensory indulgence.
