We did the Canandaigua Spirits tour. We had a really lovely time. I appreciate having a private driver and driving along side the lake was very pretty. We did Heron Hill which was awesome. Then we did Tuition Distilling which was even better. Then we did Three Huskies which I think could have been better. Their beer and food were great just seemed a little unorganized but it didn't take away from our wonderful experience.
