    I absolutely love this Festival. I remember coming here when I was younger and enjoying the food…read moreand the events. Fast forward 20+ years, and I introduced it to my wife. It starts off with a nice pleasant drive through some really beautiful country along scenic Canandaigua Lake. We come in from the North, and since we arrive early in the morning parking is plentiful. However, there is a 10-15 minute walk to get to the center of the festival area. Along the way, you can look at the small stores selling their wares (books, records, etc.) and peruse the many garage sales that pop up along main street. When you arrive at the festival, you are hit with a three-fold attack of (1) great carnival food, (2) lots of arts and crafts vendors, and (3) live music and the cacophony of thousands of people in one space. Aside from the typical kettle corn, fried dough, and sausage sandwiches, you can feast on anything and everything that can be made with a grape... pies, cakes, cookies, cotton candy, ice cream, etc. Frankly, it is a bit overwhelming but in a wonderful way. We don't usually buy too many crafts or artwork (and if you do, be warned that you will need to carry it back to your car somehow) but we do enjoy some things that are just necessary on a day like this: Carnival Waffles (which you cannot get outside of Western NY, and asking about them will just lead to blank stares), grape pie, and lots of bottled water. Who has the best grape pie? If you read the signs, that will narrow it done but I try a new place every time and seem to enjoy them all. Grape pie tastes like blueberry + wine... yummy! There are wine vendors too, and a nearby winery offers tasting and I think tours though we have never done it. This festival takes the best things in life and combines them. Carnival food minus the weird looking carnys; beautiful New York fall scenery with lovely, sunny weather; amazing arts and crafts with plenty of useless made in China junk and dozens of yard sales thrown in, and people having fun. Just watch the bikers that try and ride down Main Street every year only to get stuck in traffic. Even then they are having a blast. The local school gets involved too with various fundraisers. Hint: when you buy food from the area next to the school, make sure you get all the ketchup you need before you go and sit down on the grassy knoll. Navigating the crowds to get the small things you forgot with your food is no fun. I cannot wait until September when I can go again!

    I have a love/hate relationship with the Naples Grape Festival. On the one hand you have a great…read moreopportunity to get your hand on some of the greatest Grape pies around. On the other, crowds of people, money trap, long waits to get in and out of the village. Here's what's lacking: *Not much (good)entertainment *Everyone is selling anything and everything (junk included) *Crowded sidewalks where people stop directly in the middle without regard to the line of others behind them. *A long drive from the city Here's what I love: *Views of the lake on the drive down *Views of fall foliage *Joseph's Wayside Market *Grape pocket cookies from the church in the center of town *Jeni's Pies are the best *Plenty of (paid) parking at Hazlitt *Wine slushies from Hazlitt YUM! In the past there seemed to be more artisans, but this year it felt like there were vendors just selling anything. It felt overwhelming with so many people crammed in in the sidewalks. I'll admit it's a great walk from one end of town to the other. Make your way to the south end to check out Joseph's. If you've never been, it's worth the trip, just be prepared for people to stop in front of you without warning because they can't text and walk at the same time!

    Heard about their annual pumpkin toss on their Facebook page. We pulled in to the farm and…read moreimmediately saw two pigs enjoying so many pumpkins that people generously brought. The owner Alyssa greeted us and was such an amazing person. She took the time to talk and walk with us on our first tour. She introduced us to a two old worldAmerican duroc's.. about 750 lbs each! They were so cool and chill! One of her pigs was stating to go into labor and expecting 7 piglets.. how exciting! We saw ducks and chickens loving all their festival snacks... we continue to the back area where we walked right into the field with so many pigs! They we're having the time of their life. Sticking their heads into pumpkins and eating them. I've never seen pigs up so close, they were so friendly and honestly could of cared less we were there. I was surprised how soft they were and allowed us to pet them. Next we went further back and met the Scottish highland cows, so stunning. Fabio with his gorgeous hair... accurately named. The adorable baby Maggie. Had to pick up some of their famous candied bacon at their food truck on premise. Giant cool fireplace to warm up at was a huge hit too. I can't say enough great things about Alyssa, her passion and love for this place and her animals are inspiring. She just wants to help educate and give back to her community. She's such an asset.

    This review is strictly on their food truck manga roc. We stopped to support a local business that…read moreis providing amazing food. This family run and operated business is amazing. The staff were very friendly. This is pasture raised pigs at a local farm so you know exactly what you are getting when you buy. They had many options to buy, most of them were pork related but this night they added a chicken option. It's nice to have options. I ordered their BLT and upgraded to the fries. The sandwich was amazing. Seems like you can't mess up a BLT but trust me I have been to places they were awful. There is a difference in quality of the bacon and can understand why it's priced accordingly. They have a website with farm location to actually buy their pork, but also post when they have their amazing food truck open and operating thru the county.
