Chances are, you’ve never really given glass a second thought. You’ve never realized that every time you make a phone call, you’re using fiber optic technology developed in Corning. You don’t stop to consider that when you tap the screen on your iPad, you’ve got cutting-edge glass innovation at your fingertips.

Here in America’s Crystal City, you can’t help but gain a deep appreciation for glass. Whether you’re browsing the

more than 45,000-object collection at The Corning Museum of Glass, perusing the unique pieces for sale at Vitrix Hot Glass Studio, or blowing an ornament at Hands-On Glass Studio, you’ll be astounded by the beauty and versatility of glass.

Glass gets even hotter with special celebrations like GlassFest and 2300º!

I t’s hard to imagine that something as commonplace

as glass can be so much fun. But that’s probably just because you haven’t experienced it at 2300º! Sure, you drink out of it every morning but you’ve never felt the heat radiating off of it as you shape your glass flower. You’ve never stood in front of a towering sculpture, made from hundreds of blown glass segments. You’ve never looked at a picture and realized it was made of thousands of tiny shards of glass.

There aren’t too many places that would feel comfortable letting a visitor get up close and personal with something that’s hotter than volcanic lava. But here in Corning, we encourage it! we know that having you create your own masterpiece to cherish is the best way to show you how awesome glass can be. Hands-On Glass Studio was the epicenter for the make-your-own-glass revolution in Corning. owner rodi rovner knew she wanted everyone to experience the wonder of glassmaking and she took it upon herself to make it happen. Children as young as two can blow an ornament at hands-on glass.

O ne of the most fun aspects of Corning & the Finger Lakes is exploring the wonders of the wet and wild.

Keuka Lake is a Y-shaped beauty nestled in the heart of the Finger Lakes, sparkling with opportunities for adventure. It’s a breathtaking sight to behold for sure, but it’s the fun you’ll experience on the lake that will leave you craving more.

Perhaps the best thing about water is that there are so many ways to enjoy it. Whether it’s the thrill of skimming the waters on a Jet Ski from Keuka Watersports, or the peace that comes with a sunset sail, your time on Keuka Lake will be hard to forget.

It’s hard to enjoy Keuka Lake without sensing that cool factor that’s so deeply infused in the area. Located on the

southern tip of the lake is Hammondsport, recently voted “America’s Coolest Small Town” by readers of Budget Travel magazine.

It is perhaps this special surrounding area that adds so much to the lakeside experience. Maybe that’s why Travel & Leisure included the Finger Lakes in its list of America’s best lakeside vacations. When you visit Keuka Lake, you get the whole package deal. You’ve got great fun on the water, paired perfectly with award-winning wineries, incredible vistas, great events, amazing food, and diverse shops.

“Keuka Lake provides the boating culture and scenic backdrop for the area—

it truly is beautiful....” —will Mcgough, wakeandwander.com

Did you know Keuka Lake is one of very few Y-shaped lakes in the world and may well be the only one that flows both north and south?

Beat the heat of the afternoon by renting a Jet ski from Keuka Watersports. Breeze around beautiful keuka Lake at speeds topping 45 miles an hour—if you’re feeling adventurous. There’s nothing quite like gliding down the lake, feeling the spray as your Jet ski meets the waves. on the distant hillside, you’ll spot rolling vineyards and manicured farmlands peacefully sitting high above keuka. it’s a unique perspective—seeing wine country from the water. it’s certainly nothing you’ll forget any time soon.

T here’s no denying it. Wine is just plain fun. Sure, in some

places wine tasting can be viewed as a snobbish activity, but here in Corning & the Finger Lakes, that’s not the way we do things. As the second-largest wine producing region in the country, we take great pride in the award-winning wines made here. We have hundreds of accolades to our Finger Lakes name, including world’s most beautiful wine region (Budget

Travel) and a top value destination in 2011 (Shermans Travel), making the Finger Lakes the most affordable wine region as well. But we know that’s not necessarily what motivates you to visit. You’re looking to drink excellent wine and have fun with the people who matter most and, on that, we can certainly deliver. After all, the Riesling you’re sipping was perfected in “America’s Coolest Small Town”!

Each of the wineries located in “America’s Coolest Small Town” has a cool factor all its own. Discover why Hammondsport wineries have been winning awards for more than 140 years.

Bully Hill Vineyards is one of those places that makes the words “wine” and “fun” synonymous. People can’t help but take Walter Taylor’s philosophy of “wine with laughter” to heart when they enter the tasting room. As one of the most eclectic wineries in the Finger Lakes, Bully Hill also features a pop art museum, a cooper’s museum, two gift shops, and a superb restaurant overlooking beautiful Keuka Lake.

Château renaissance Wine Cellars brings French flair to the Finger Lakes. Owner Patrice DeMay was born into a family of winemakers in the Loire Valley, and brought a 400-year-old family recipe for champagne with him to Keuka Lake. Château Renaissance also offers wines, port, sherry, and fruit wines and fruit sparkles.

Deep root Vineyard was established as a native vineyard, however, its roots extend far back into the

community. Rehabilitation of the site has been ongoing and new plantings are scheduled. As a micro-production farm winery, Deep Root proudly offers wines that focus on sustainability and quality production without forgetting how to have fun!

Dr. Konstantin Frank Vinifera Wine Cellars has been rated “#1 Winery in the Northeast” by Wine Report for six years. Dr. Frank founded the winery in 1962, a decade after immigrating from Ukraine, and proved that European vines called Vitis Vinifera could be grown in the United States. In 2012, Dr. Frank’s was named “Winery of the Year,” at the New York Wine & Food Classic Competition, and its 2011 Semi-Dry Riesling won the “Governor’s Cup,” recognizing “Best of Show.”

Heron Hill Winery prides itself on being a friend to the environment. Whether it’s the food served in the

café or the methods of maintaining the vineyards, everything is fresh and 100-percent green. Heron Hill was named as one of eight eco-friendly East Coast wineries by Mother Nature Network. Its tasting room has been rated one of the 10 most spectacular in the world by Travel & Leisure magazine.

Keuka Lake Vineyards has quickly gained recognition for its unique dry European-style wines. Owner Mel Goldman specializes in premium Riesling and Vignoles, and allows “the grapes to express themselves.” The winery’s dry, elegant wines are meant for entertainment with good company and fine food.

Lime Berry Winery has a cool and casual approach that’s taking root. Enjoy a relaxing tasting in an 1800s one-room schoolhouse. Make sure to also visit Lime Berry Gallery, located in the Village of Hammondsport.



pleasant Valley Wine Company and Great Western Winery was named “physically the most atmospheric winery in the whole of the region” by Frommer’s. Its champagnes have been the most-honored American champagnes in European competitions for over a century. As one of the region’s oldest wineries and the First Bonded Winery in the United States, Pleasant Valley was called one of “five don’t-miss wineries” by the Philadelphia Inquirer.

ravines Wine Cellars doesn’t “try to be everything to everyone, which, to be honest, is a refreshing change from so many of the Finger Lakes wineries” said New York Cork Report of owner Morten Hallgren. Trained in France, Hallgren specializes in dry, food-friendly, elegant wines made in the traditional French style. “On paper he knows what he’s doing,” according to Anything Wine, “and

his knowledge and passion definitely translate

to the glass.”

I n the craziness of the everyday, you’re much more

likely to scarf down a meal covered in cellophane and heated in a microwave than you are to sit down and savor a great homemade meal, let alone one that’s homegrown, too. However, here in Corning & the Finger Lakes, time slows down just a bit and the urge to linger over dinner with a glass of wine takes precedence over your hectic schedule.

Here, you can choose to be picky.Just bring your appetite and let our talented chefs do the rest. From casual mom-and-pop diners to elegant Italian bistros, to places with “Manhattan-quality food for non-Manhattan

prices,” (Best of the Road) there’s something to suit absolutely every taste bud.

Here, you’ll find people who care about the food they serve. Area chefs know the value of buying local products from their neighbors. They believe you deserve to have the finest products available in the Finger Lakes Region—a philosophy that has extended far beyond the wine industry. If you want to taste the very best of the local bounty, you’ll love experiencing Finger Lakes Wine Country restaurant Week. Restaurant Week challenges chefs at restaurants throughout the

region to make a two-course à la carte lunch menu as well as a three-course prix fixe dinner menu using 100-percent local food and wine. Whether it’s laid-back or fine dining you seek, you’ll find it in Corning & the Finger Lakes. And with it, you’ll experience superb locally-grown food, paired with an award-winning local wine, and breathtaking scenery. Surely you’ll want to linger a little longer.

“We’d definitely make another trip there—every single bite

of food was delicious.” — TripAdvisor review about Market Street

Brewing Company

“Anybody can write a description of food.

The question is, can they make it all taste just as good is it sounds? At The Cellar…absolutely. Modern, creative

and unpretentious…. The menu is fascinating and

inventive, stressing their use of predominantly local

ingredients.”—Anna Haas, Best of the Road

L ooking for a little inspiration? Corning & the Finger Lakes is where you’ll find it. Art is more than paintings on a wall or sculptures in a park. It’s a feeling. It’s

expression. And in Corning & the Finger Lakes, it’s a way of life.

Anyone who has spent time here can easily understand why Corning is continuously voted one of the “Top 25 Small-City Arts Destinations in the U.S.” by readers of AmericanStyle magazine. That seems reasonable when you consider it’s home to the world-renowned Corning

Museum of Glass. But there’s more to it than that. Here, we also have the rockwell Museum of Western

Art, which offers the “Best of the West” east of the Mississippi River. We have 171 Cedar Arts Center,

where people can develop their creativity and watch it blossom through dance, music,

and visual arts. We have groups like the Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes, featuring music from artists around the globe.

Here, the beauty of arts and culture is in the discovery of it. It’s the feeling you get when you round a corner in The Corning Museum of Glass and are met with a blooming,

floor-to-ceiling window designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany. It’s the moment you

realize you’re standing in a museum in Upstate New York and the

Wild West is coming to life all around you. It’s stumbling upon

a tiny art gallery and engaging with the owner to discover the fascinating stories behind the work of talented local artists. Yes, here in

Corning & the Finger Lakes, it’s easy to lose yourself in our art—and when you do, you’ll find the greatest moments of inspiration.

of choice and instead of getting burned, we create great beauty. when you follow our self-guided

Tiffany & Treasures Trail, you’ll discover

the very best of the fire arts of yesterday and

today. The trail will lead you to astounding museums, working potter’s studios, and the best places to shop for glass.

History and Heritageh i s T o r Y C a n B e C o o L

A n adventurous spirit is one of those things you either have

or you don’t. In a way, it’s like a cool factor. It’s not something that can easily be created—it just is. Hammondsport has a long history of cool, adventurous people, which today contributes to its vibrant history.

Take Glenn H. Curtiss for example. His undeniable need for

speed propelled him to earn the title “Fastest Man on Earth” for four years of his life, and also to create aviation technology unlike anything the world had ever seen. In fact, it was Curtiss who first introduced aviation to the public. On July 4, 1908, Curtiss flew his aircraft named the “June Bug” one mile in Pleasant Valley, marking the first officially-recognized, pre-announced and publicly-observed flight in America. Each fall, seaplane pilots

gather along the shores of Keuka Lake, where Curtiss used to fly his aircrafts, to honor the man who started it all. Visit the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum and hear the story of how Hammondsport got its wings.

Men like Walter Taylor and Dr. Konstantin Frank also brought new ideas that not only shook up the way things were being done locally, but also, in the case of Dr. Frank, innovations that played a part in revolutionizing the wine industry in the Northeast. Today, Dr. Konstantin Frank Vinifera Wine Cellars is the most decorated New York State winery, even winning the Governor’s Cup and “Winery of the Year” at the 2012 New York Wine & Food Classic.

Corning isn’t without its own significant contributions to history. Actually, Corning’s history is a dazzling one, centered around the vibrant glass industry that sprang up there in the

mid-1800s. An area that once was filled with lush farmlands quickly became known as the “Crystal City” thanks to the many cut glass shops that opened there. Today, it is home to the world’s largest glass museum, The Corning Museum of Glass. Visitors love browsing the 3,500 years of history, then watching glass come to life at the Hot Glass Show, and even making their own glass souvenir.

Come discover how history can be cool. Ours certainly is, and we know you’ll enjoy discovering all the wonderful people, places, and events that call Corning & the Finger Lakes home.

Corning’s “Little Joe” Tower was once used for the production of thermometer tubing. By using the “vertical draw” process, hot glass was pulled up the 196 feet by cable, creating a continuous tube. it was then cooled and cut to length. Thermometer tubing is done today using the “horizontal draw” method, and “Little Joe” is a fixture in Corning’s skyline.

Located near hornell is the Canisteo Living Sign, which was created with 260 scotch pine trees. The trees were planted to spell out the letters of the town’s name. The sign measures 300 feet by 90 feet and has been used as a visual flight reference by pilots since its creation.

H ere in Corning & the Finger Lakes, the fun

is found when you get in on the action. Perhaps that’s why Corning was recently voted one of the “Most Fun” small towns in America by Rand McNally and USA TODAY. This is not one of those places you can experience by sitting on the sidelines. You need to blow your own glass ornament at Hands-On Glass Studio. You should certainly roll up your sleeves and try your hand at the potter’s wheel at Sommerville pottery. Learn to make a gourmet meal when you take a culinary class at 171 Cedar Arts Center, under the instruction of one of our local chefs. Pick up a few techniques to de-stress when you learn to release muscle tension during a class at Steuben professional Massage Associates. Follow a licensed guide into the Conhocton River to discover the art of fly fishing with Conhocton river Fly Shop.

It’s hard to spend time here and not develop an appreciation for our art scene, so clearly infused in the region; but it’s when you interact with it that you learn what fun really means!

Did you know that The Studio at The Corning Museum of Glass offers more than just 45-minute hands-on experiences? if you’re interested in learning more about glass, you can take a day or even a weekend-long class on glassblowing or flameworking.

when you visit Soulshine Studio Bead Shop, the goal is to do just that: let your soul shine through your artwork. at least, that’s owner ann recotta’s hope. what started as a single begin-ner’s class in 2003 became a thriving business when ann opened her door in april 2011. in her Market street store, you can find ann’s jewelry for sale, but you can also create anything from a pre-packaged jewelry kit to intricate accessories. even talk to her about a project you want to do and she’ll help you design it. soulshine studio is certainly “the place to bead!”

T here was a simple requirement: the contest was searching for

a small town with an edge and a heart. Sure, it could be argued that plenty of small towns across America fit that bill, but the people of Hammondsport knew it defined them. And they fought hard to make it official.

Today, when a visitor rolls down the quiet, scenic streets that lead to Hammondsport, there’s this unspoken anticipation that builds. It piques your curiosity—why does this place feel so different? It all makes perfect sense once you see the banners welcoming you to “America’s Coolest Small Town.” There’s a distinct cool factor that encapsulates a town built around “Wings, Wine, and Water,” and you know you’re in for a good time.

If There’s a Will… Located in an area already known for its many accolades, including “World’s Most Beautiful Wine Region,” and one of the “top value destinations,” it seemed only fitting that the Keuka Lake town of 725 residents earn a distinction it could call its own. Thus, Hammondsport residents rallied supporters to vote for their town in the annual Budget Travel

competition that searches for “America’s Coolest Small Town.”

On January 31, 2012, the final day of competition, voting was so intense it caused the Budget Travel Web servers to crash, forcing magazine editors to do the “only fair thing” and declare a tie between the top two towns. Hammondsport shares its victory with Beaufort, NC, in the southern Outer Banks.

A Cause for Celebration Hammondsport spent the year celebrating its big win, selecting an official logo and displaying it throughout the town. Officials even hosted a “Coolest Small Town” celebration for everyone who supported Hammondsport throughout the voting process. Summer brought with it a slew of travel writers, highlighting Hammondsport’s cool factor in various

publications. In September, Budget Travel focused an issue of its magazine around the Coolest Small Towns in America, putting Hammondsport on the national radar. Perhaps the most invaluable thing to come out of all this exposure was the fact that Hammondsport had the spotlight to tell the world what locals and past visitors already knew: it truly is the coolest place in America.

Here’s what travel writer, Will McGough, of WakeAndWander.com, said during a visit to Hammondsport last year: “Something about the people’s passion and excitement has really stuck with me, seeing them so proud of where they live. While big cities often draw residents solely because of industry and opportunity, it’s rare that someone ends up in a small town like Hammondsport for any other reason than love of the area. They all really want to be there, which makes me even more curious to find out why, both as a person and a travel writer.”

Blogger Will McGough took the Coolest Road Trip to the four East Coast towns of Budget Travel’s “Top 10 Coolest Towns” list. He drove his decked-out car, featuring Hammondsport on the driver’s door.

twice. Last year, however, it most certainly did. Just months after Hammondsport was named “America’s Coolest Small Town,” Corning was chosen as one of the “Most Fun” small towns in America in the “Best of the Road” competition through Rand McNally and USA TODAY. Six towns were selected out of more than 700, and a team of travel writers visited each town to determine which was the most fun.

While team Fresh Traveler was in Corning, they experienced the very best that we have to offer. From making their own glass flower at The Corning Museum of Glass to taking a scenic flight over Corning & the Finger Lakes with Costa Flying Service, the team had enough fun to fill the eight blogs and two videos that they posted on the Rand McNally website. What’s better? The Travel Channel tagged along and filmed footage for a “Best of the Road” episode that aired to more than 100 million homes in late July.

Here’s what Fresh Traveler, Patricia Serrano, had to say about Corning’s fun factor: “A short five-hour drive from New York City reveals the town of Corning; the place to go for classy, sophisticated, yet unpretentious fun. It’s a family-oriented vacation spot in Upstate New York that’s filled with quirky creative people who are laid back enough to not take themselves too seriously.”

A griculture has long been the lifeblood of Steuben County.

Not so long ago, there were 300 dairy farms in the Bath area alone. But farming is more than just what to do with a lot of space. It has to do with a love of the land and of sinking one’s hands down into the soil and feeling connected to the world. Our farmers understand that. In fact, they thrive on it and it’s evident in the bounty produced here.

From acres of lush vineyards to farms of all kinds, Corning & the Finger

Lakes is ripe for the pickin’! If you want only the freshest in cheese and honey, we’ve got it for you. Want to taste some fresh cider or maple syrup? We make that here, too. There are even small shops where you can buy alpaca fiber.

When you get a taste of the bounty of the Finger Lakes, you’ll understand why our farmers take so much pride in what they do. They know everything tastes better when it’s homegrown.

The Great OutdoorsT h e r e ’ s n o T h i n g q U i T e L i k e i T

T here’s no place quite like the great outdoors that allows you to get away from it all. There’s

just something about hiking a trail through quiet, scenic beauty—birds chirping, sun shining all around you—that gives you a profound sense of tranquility. There’s something about waking up with the sun and casting your line out, hoping for a great catch, that

relaxes you. And there’s this amazing feeling of escape when you’re breezing down rural pathways on your bicycle, shrouded in the colors of autumn. It’s when you allow yourself to get lost in the wonder of the great outdoors—the babbling brook, the aromas of harvest time, the breathtaking views—that you truly find yourself.

E very hunter knows it’s all about the harmony of skill,

patience, and pure luck. It comes down to being in the right place at the right time. It’s as simple as that. But, there are things you can do to give yourself a slight advantage.

Hunting in new york State’s #1 deer county certainly doesn’t hurt. With nearly 30,000 acres of state forests and 4,000 acres of privately-owned land,

Steuben County has been called the “perennial chart-topper,” by New York Game & Fish magazine.

Here, there are more deer per square mile than any other county in New York State. When you stop to consider that Steuben County is larger than the state of Rhode Island, Washington D.C., and the Virgin Islands combined, that’s a whole lot of deer! Also find an abundance of wild turkey and other game birds, as well as black bear.

There were 5,120 bucks taken in 2010, beating out every other county in the state.

steuben County has many hunter-friendly accommodations, including Button’s Creekside Farm B&B, where the owners will point out prime hunting locations and even provide you snacks and all meals!
