    Fun experience but not sure I would go again. Chinese lanterns are some of the most beautiful light…read morefeatures. They did have quite a lot to look at but I had expected everything to be more spread out throughout the property. There was a lot crowded throughout the driving path. It was pretty cool for them to set up a drive through path to accommodate covid times and still have something fun and new to do during these times of limited activities and events. I drove a good distance to see the lights, if you live closer I 100% recommend but if your making a drive, I didnt feel it was as worth it. Especially given that Watkins Glenn is pretty sleepy overall in the winter. There wasn't much else I could find to pair seeing the lights with to make it more of a half day trip. A lot of the restaurants in the area were even closed. The winery did offer tastings and parfaits which we didn't go into the tasting room but that was available. I had heard the theme was dinosaurs. I thought there would be lit dinosaurs, turns out they were anamatronic. Their pretty nifty but they had them all lined up at the end one right after the other which took away from their awe. Otherwise they look decently realistic and some move which is kinda fun. The lanterns were a whole mix of things from flowers to animals, there were lantern balls throughout the lawn and some traditional lights as well. It took us about thirty minutes to drive through the whole exhibit.

    A nice little drive through, simulated with music that you can tune into. A nice variety of…read morecharacters and decorations throughout. Wasn't nearly as hectic as PNC but also in a smaller scale. Definitely worth checking out!

I've attended for the last eight years and it's still hard to put into words how wonderful a festival this is. Four stages of top-quality performers from around the world operate from about 10am straight through until 2am every day (or in the case of the dance tent, until 6am--where folks stay up dancing all night to Zydeco music). (Check out http://www.grassrootsfest.org/festival/ for an impressive list of past performers.) A huge variety of healthy food (much better than standard fair fare) is available from centrally located vendors and a secondary area of vendors offers products from local craftspeople. At the center of the festival is a hug campground where people mingle, play music together, and share cocktails (no one has to drive home!). A vibrant Kidsfest area keeps the little ones happy all day long. The festival also has a robust recycling and composting program, as well as a strong commitment to social and environmental issues.

    I've been to the Finger Lakes region of NY several times over the past couple of years…read more I attended the Wine & Cheese Festival this year. It is an incredibly popular event (it sold out this year) that combines the classic tastes of wine & cheese. The ticket price is very reasonable (and in many ways what I found most attractive about the event was the value for the money) it includes 33 wineries (several which I had not visited before). My overall experience was good and visiting all of the wineries is possible if you spread it out over the three (3) day period. If you're not traveling with a group, it is important to note that the event attracts large groups from birthdays to bachelorette parties. It is best to start early to avoid the van, limo and bus groups. Overall, good customer service at each winery and they seemed prepared in most cases for the large crowds. If I had one criticism, it would be the food selection. As a pescetarian, I was surprised how many of the wineries offered dishes with some type of meat. It also wasn't always cheese dish that a winery offered as their food selections (e.g. we had chili and chick peas offered to us). I did love how the majority of the wineries offered a print out of the recipe they were serving. I picked up several of them to try at home. In a nutshell, a festival weekend seems to be a great way to experience what feels like the never-ending wineries in the region (and I would go back and do it again).

    This was unfortunately a low point on our trip and a reminder to me to stop picking places based on…read morethe name (which I'm probably going to keep doing, if we're being honest). My cousin chums and I kicked off our mini winery tour here this past Labor Day around midday/early afternoon-ish. There was a small batch of wineries in the Naples area that were conveniently located within a short drive of our Airbnb, and this one logically made the most sense to kick off the adventures. The first issue is the location/atmosphere. The best wineries for me are comfortable and have a nice, pleasant view to look at while you sip your wine. This just doesn't have that all - the winery is located directly behind what looks to be an old factory building, so your view is of that building or at best, the picnic tables to the side of the winery which are sort of in an enclosed outside area that also doesn't offer any real views. The other problem with this situation is that it's a bit DIY - when we ordered our wine flights, we were instructed to bring them outside to wherever we wanted to sit. That's fine, but to even get to the aforementioned picnic tables, we needed to navigate down one or two flights of stairs and another seating area - you're just begging for an accident to happen here. We probably would have opted for the picnic tables if it were an easier trek to get to them. Instead we went with a narrow high-top situation in the area right outside the building on an enclosed porch which did not have a lot of room for our three wine flights. The fire pit/Adirondack chair situation closest to the door of the wine/gift shop is probably your best bet at least in terms of comfort, but again, it's just a view of the back of a factory building. We each got a $10 wine flight. It was a little annoying to get the little booklet/menu of options indicating we could choose any six, only to be informed verbally and in writing within the actual shop that it was now four. That kind of discrepancy shouldn't be reflected in your paperwork that you're handing out to customers - it looks unprofessional and feels like a holiday cash grab. And a very easy fix; that's a quick trip/order to your local printer at some point, assuming that's a permanent change and not a temporary one to take advantage of Labor Day Weekend visitors. Given that you're drinking booze by definition, what the winery offers for snacks/food is one of its more important qualities. And again, they fell short. At least they DID provide free popcorn, but it was stale and almost inedible. It also wasn't entirely clear what the water situation was; one of my cousins came out with a bottle of it but wasn't sure if it was being offered gratis or not; it didn't end up being an issue, but it was noticeably not good either, which is an odd thing to say about water. But the container it was in had a noticeable smell of dirty dishwater so it didn't seem like they were cleaning their cups/bottles well. Not great. The big problem overall? The wine isn't good, and you kind of know it going in when they're literally selling the wine by the pouch in addition to bottles. It's difficult to take a winery seriously when they're packaging their product in a container that's understandably associated with cheap, mediocre (if that) wine. I ordered the 2023 Gewurz, a Bubbly Reisling, the Schooner White and the Red Cat, which was arguably promoted more heavily than any of the other wines (not surprisingly given the name). The Red Cat probably IS the best of the wines I sampled but like a lot of the varieties, was super sweet and didn't have a lot to offer, palate-wise. I actually tend to like the semi sweet more than the drier wines because for me it's typically a smoother drink and easier to distinguish the notes, but there just really isn't anything here - I hate to say it, but it tasted like fruit juice, which I can just grab from the supermarket if so inclined. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is because the young women inside were very nice. I don't think any of the issues we encountered were because of them; they warmly greeted us as soon as we came in, and were helpful in directing us to the tasting area. They didn't have a lot to work with, and did what they could - that's a tribute to the winery's hiring practices at least. Avoid this one. If you need to drink wine out of a pouch, your local liquor store has them in the clearance section.

    As usual, we had a wonderful experience here yesterday. We're local; we prefer to go to the…read morewineries during downtime.
