A DAY ON KEUKA LAKE

KEUKA CANDY & FINGER LAKES BOATING MUSEUM

WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 2026

$185.00

The adventure starts at a visit to the FINGER LAKES BOATING MUSEUM. Housed in a beautifully restored historic building, the museum is a tribute to the region’s rich boatbuilding heritage. Classic wooden skiffs, sleek canoes, and gleaming inboards tell stories of lake life from another era. Exhibits bring craftsmanship to life, and if you're lucky, a boat restoration demo might be in full swing. It’s hands-on, nostalgic, and a hidden gem for any history or lake-life enthusiast. From there, the road winds up the hillside to BULLY HILL WINERY, where humor, history, and bold wine collide. Perched high above the lake, the tasting room offers jaw-dropping panoramic views of Keuka’s sparkling waters below. Inside, the atmosphere is casual and quirky — a perfect reflection of founder Walter Taylor’s rebellious spirit. Flights feature fruity, approachable wines like Sweet Walter Red or their crisp Riesling, paired with laughter and a little winery folklore. Here you will enjoy a DELICIOUS LUNCH OVERLOOK THE LAKE. After a relaxing lunch, the afternoon wraps with a sweet detour to KEUKA CANDY EMPORIUM in Penn Yan. Stepping inside feels like entering a vintage candy shop dream — rows of old-fashioned favorites, handmade fudge, novelty treats, and local delights line the shelves. You will have a candy dipping demonstration and then be able to dip yourself! It’s impossible to leave without a bag (or two) of goodies — perfect for the drive home or a lakeside treat as the sun sets.
