This is definitely worth a stop. The admission charge is reasonable and the glass art is amazing. Spent 3 hours walking around and watched demonstration. Could have spent more time . Tickets are good for 2 days. There is a hotel within walking distance. The downtown is a nice walk.

We have booked tours with Orlando for 5 years in a row now. He is always very knowledgeable about the wineries and can point you to those that carry your preferences in wine. He has introduced us to many new ones that we continue to visit every year. He is also knowledgeable about restaurants in the area. He is a plethora of information about this region and will ensure that your day in the finger lakes is all that you could wish for. We will continue booking him for years to come!

I understand that we are all dealing with Covid 19 during this stressful time. However we decided to take this tour and booked many weeks ahead. The tour was cancelled as we were boarding our flight to fly out west and left us stranded. No hotels. Just sent a little email saying I hope you get this email that the tour is cancelled. Extremely unprofessional. Didn’t offer to try to help us make other arrangements. Will definitely hesitate to book on Viator again.
