We decided to try the pancake Sunday. We arrived around 11:20. We got through the line quickly. Their food is always delicious, but I feel like they pre-make everything so it was a little soggy/cold. I would say I was mildly disappointed. I get they're trying to cater to tons of people, but maybe there is a better way to keep things warm. I still wouldn't turn anyone away from trying them out. It's always a good time for the whole family. The new barn where you eat is also nice.

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!

Nothing to write home about. Food was great. I was surprised how good the food actually was. I had the pan seared chicken breast with mushroom and shallot sauce. It was a little spicy, which I enjoyed. My husband had the pan seared sea bass finished with a mango jalapeño chutney. He said his was pretty good, but felt it could have been cooked a little more. For food, the only complaint I would have is that when they set out the coffee they only Provided flavored creamer. No milk, no regular cream. I had to ask for cream directly and they did actually bring some out without any issues.

We were then offered a verbal history of Jell-O, which was entertaining and informative. The displays are very interesting to look at for both kids and adults. There's flavors, artwork from the ads, molds, factory artifacts, a giraffe, and much more! It took us 20 minutes to get through. There's also a small gift shop. When you're done, definitely go downstairs to check out the exhibit by the Le Roy Historical Society. Details: - Admission is $4.50 for adults - Parking: look for the sign at the driveway. Pull in and you'll find parking right next to the building. - The Jell-O museum is part of the Le Roy historical society. They also maintain the lower floor which featured an interesting transportation visit while we were there.

We were here in 2024 and there were 6 reindeer. The four females were all out with a handler for us to meet. The two males were also visible, just in a pen because the owner said they are a bit more aggressive with their antlers. My 4 year old got to feed the large male, Bronco, a raisin and he was so excited! We also all got to feed one of the females. The only thing I will warn...the owner answers all questions truthfully, including saying that reindeer don't eat carrots, which my son leaves for Santa's reindeer every year...oops! We were able to explain that Santa's reindeer are different and eat carrots because they fly all night. Just something to keep in mind if you are coming with kiddos that believe in Santa. Still a great experience overall and I would definitely go back!
