B&B hosts are often fonts of practical, useful information about the region’s attractions. Take advantage of their knowledge of the community upon check-in or over breakfast.
Wine tastings
While many wineries charge a nominal fee for wine tastings, many also refund the money when you make a purchase, or apply the cost of the tastings toward bottle purchases.
B&B or hotel?
If you prefer not to commune with your fellow travelers over breakfast, or if you keep late hours or have unusual needs, consider a hotel. Regardless of your choice, “traditional” epitomizes the region’s lodging choices.
Ice skating
Ice skating is a popular pastime in the area, and consequently, the region has 40 ice skating facilities from park ponds to indoor facilities that rent skates. If skating outside, consider the wind chill factor and dress in layers.
Golfing
Golfers can play at several public courses in the area. Some (including the Corning Country Club and Rochester’s Oak Hill and Locust Hill) play host to major tournaments. There’s even a Finger Lakes Golf Trail (www.fingerlakesgolftrail.com) that pairs rounds on four challenging courses with accommodations at one of several hotels.
