Canandaigua Travel Information
The heart of Canandaigua is the Canandaigua Lake, seventeen miles
of water surrounded by vineyards. You can do well more than stand on
the shores of the lake, too . . . cruise boats offer narrated tours.
As if to match its famous lake, the city itself has a leisurely
feel, but it’s a leisurely feel that bears some historical weight. It
seems only appropriate that the city’s other primary attraction is the
Sonnenberg Gardens. Here are nine formal gardens, four thousand roses
strong, and a grand stone Victorian mansion. A collection of carriages
are kept nearby in the home of Gideon Granger, postmaster general
under Presidents Jefferson and Madison. Canandaigua also has
plenty of shops and galleries, gardens and restaurants, for the
walking tourist. You can find it on Route 20, about 60 miles west of
Syracuse. For more information on what you can find in Canandaigua,
