Share Your Winter With Us!

Fall in the Finger Lakes is all about pumpkins and fire pits and warm mulled cider. The winter that follows brings snowmen and plaid scarves and long starry nights. Our focus moves from harvest to home maintenance to holiday decorating and then, well, some of us run out of ideas after the holidays. That’s where ONHandbook can help!

There’s a variety of high-quality, affordable and convenient entertainment options here in the cooler months – some as close as the end of your street. Cross-country and downhill skiing, and snow shoeing, hunting and day-hiking for sporting enthusiast. Festivals, live music, theater and even opera all take place in vibrant communities, historic venues and intimate gathering spaces.

If you’re more of a homebody, ONHandbook also offers ideas for your pantry and your reading list.

Together with businesses and friends from across the Finger Lakes region, we at the Ontario County Chamber are excited about the coming of winter and the opportunities the change in weather brings for exercise, entertainment and relaxation, both indoors and out. As you make your snowman or stock your pantry, consider sharing your discoveries on our Instagram page.

See you soon!

Pick a Lake, Any Lake

While many of us spend our summers in the water, the cooler months are a great time to explore around the water: the byways and vistas that ring the Finger Lakes. So grab a friend, climb in your favorite land yacht, and pick a lake! The cities, villages and hamlets dotting their shores offer opportunities for tasting, sip ping, downhome dining and unique shopping experiences.

North Syracuse

Clyde Solvay

Weedsport

Seneca Falls Auburn

Cayuga

Interlaken

Springs

Oneida Lake

If you have an entire day, consider circling two or three lakes. Round-the-lake excursions offer sights, flavors and opportunities that change with the seasons.

Syracuse

Fayetteville Manlius

Motor south along the west shore of Canandaigua, for example, and then stop for a tast ing at Heron Hill, Arbor Hill or Inspire Moore wineries. Head east, browsing Hammondsport on Keuka Lake and perhaps Watkins Glen on Seneca Lake.

From Watkins Glen there are two options. Head north on Route 14 to Geneva with stops at Brewery Ardennes and then Stomping Grounds Books downtown. Or, continue east to Ithaca on Cayuga Lake. From Ithaca, choose Route 89 or 90 north to Routes 5 & 20 in Seneca Falls, home to the Women’s Hall of Fame.

Cortland

For a shorter drive, consider exploring smaller Honeoye Lake. The hamlet of Honeoye and its neighboring communities offer charming and delicious opportunities to relax in style.

Dryden

Homer McGraw Marathon

PRO TIP: given the changing landscape and microclimates you may encounter, begin with your tank or batteries at least half full. Pack a warm change of clothes in photo-friendly colors – in case you wind up in our Instagram feed! – a warm blanket (classic plaids are best), a cell phone charger, bottled water and a flashlight.

Stick The Quint … Or Just Ski

At the 2022 Beijing Olympics, freestyle skier Christopher Lillis won gold by landing a back double full-full-double full jump – the “quint.”

It’s a little trick he may have picked up on the slopes of Bristol Mountain. Chris, from nearby Pittsford, started skiing there at age 5 and joined its freestyle team at 7.

In 2018, Chris and five others from Bristol won spots on the U.S. freestyle ski team. That same year, Bristol Mountain opened its Freestyle Ae rial Training Facility, the country’s third (in addition to Lake Placid and Park City, Utah). It hosted the U.S. Aerials Freestyle Championships in ’20 and ’22.

The ski and snowboard resort offers 1,200 feet of vertical, two high-speed quads, and state-of-the-art snowmaking. Lessons are available for all ages and abilities.

Hurtling Down A Mountain Doesn’t Thrill You?

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING MIGHT.

Bristol Mountain makes snow for its Nordic Center, a 1.2 km wooded trail of gentle rolling hills. The center is perfect for the whole family and for beginner cross-country skiers. An additional 1.8 km loop is also available, weather permitting.

At Cumming Nature Center in the Bristol Hills, there are 12 miles of groomed, forested trails.

With its “magic microclimate,” Harriet Hollister Recreation Center at the south end of Honeoye Lake features trails groomed by the Rochester Cross Country Ski Foundation. “When there’s no snow 5 miles away, there can be a foot of snow at Harriet Hollister,” according to rxcsf.org.

SNOWSHOEING, TOO.

There are three miles of snowshoeing trails at Cumming Nature Center. You can also snowshoe at Bristol Mountain’s Nordic Center and at Harriet Hollister. Other spots include the Bristol Hills branch trail accessible from Ontario County Park, the High Tor Wildlife Management Area in Naples, and the Ganondagan State Historic Site in Victor.

THERE ARE TRAILS YOU CAN RIDE

Rural terrain and beautiful scenery make Ontario County perfect for snowmobiles. Volunteers from three nonprofit snowmobile clubs maintain trails and provide up-to-date information on their conditions in season. The New York State Snowmobile Association maintains an interactive webmap, available as an app for your phone, that’s edited by the local clubs. It includes reroutes or detours in the mid-season, and business supporters along the trails.

GET OUT ON THE ICE OR JUST WATCH THE ZAMBONI

Indoor skating lets you experi ence winter without the biting wind. Skate rentals are avail able at both rinks: the Geneva Recreation Complex on South Exchange Street in Geneva and the Greater Canandaigua Civ ic Center on North Bloomfield Road.

How To Bundle Up Right

Staying warm and dry is the key to having fun outdoors in winter—especially for kids! Use these tips from the team at Cumming Nature Center to keep everyone in your family happy as you explore winter in Ontario County.

LAYERS, LAYERS, LAYERS

It’s easy to get hot while playing outside in the snow, and even easier to get cold once you’ve finished! Wearing layers helps to regulate temperature between activities, keeping everyone happy and engaged from slope to lodge.

WOOL IS GOOD FOR WINTER

Avoid cotton, as cotton will not keep you warm – especially if it gets wet! Wool, fleece, and synthetic fabrics are all good options for snowy activities. We suggest wearing a wool or synthetic base layer, a fleece mid-layer, and finishing your ensemble with a pair of snow pants and an insulated jacket to protect you from wind and water. Choose colors to be photo-ready!

HEAD, HANDS, & FEET

Protecting your head, hands, and feet is vital! Keep your head warm with a good hat & neck warmer; keep your hands warm with thin fleece gloves beneath waterproof mittens; and keep your feet warm with a good pair of snow boots! For kids who struggle with cold hands, hand warmers can be slipped between their thin gloves and waterproof mittens.

BRING EXTRAS

Nothing kills winter fun like wet, cold clothes. Bringing a change of clothes and boots is an easy way to ensure the end of the day is as good as the beginning!

You Can Even Say It Glows

The flare-up of fire pits during the pandemic was a cure for cool nights spent socializing safely outside. What began as a solution exclusive to summer became an all-season excuse for taking the inside outdoors.

It may be cliché (and it’s definitely punny), but fire pits bring a glow to the place – our place, the Finger Lakes. People gather around them at wineries, breweries, cideries, restaurants/bars and our own backyards –even in winter. Once a novelty, they’re almost a necessity as visitors see fire pits as always-a-plus.

If you’re headed out to sit by the fire, be sure to dress in layers, bring a boujie blanket, and try a warm drink instead of a cold one.

Building the Perfect Snowman

Tips from Smithsonian magazine

Ideal snow for packing ranges from moist (less than 3 percent water) to wet (3 to 8 percent water), when the temperature is a few degrees above or below 32˚F, says snow scientist Jordy Hendrikx. Ontario County gets a lot of that kind of snow.

Packing the snow in a ball exerts pressure on the ice crystals. They melt during construction but crystallize and bind together afterward. The shape also adds to a snowman’s longevity because the surface area exposed to rising temperatures is minimized.

Choose a level spot to stack on. Just not a driveway. Asphalt absorbs and holds heat from the sun. A flat spot near the bottom of a large hill is perfect – it provides shade to prevent melting, says Smithsonian.

The standard large-medium-small structure helps avoid toppling. Flatten the top of each snowball before placing the next one.

PRO TIP: Local carrots make great noses!

Wine: Some Like It Hot!

Make no mistake: you are now in world-class wine country. Cool-climate wine is our claim to fame, with Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris among our crisp whites; and Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot among our fruity, succulent reds.

In the peak of the grape season, the Finger Lakes weather is just as hot as warmclimate wine regions. However, near harvest time, our temperatures drop so quickly that the grapes are robbed of sunshine and warmth, resulting in lower sugar and pH levels, but higher, more mouthwatering acidity, a lighter body, and lower alcohol.

So, enjoy our wines cooled or heated with these winter recipes, courtesy of fingerlakeswinecountry.com

FINGER LAKES WINE COUNTRY EGGNOG

1-3/4 oz Finger Lakes ruby port

1-3/4 oz Finger Lakes red wine

3-1/2 oz milk

3/4 oz cream

1/2 tsp powdered sugar

1 egg yolk

1 pinch nutmeg

Shake well over ice cubes in a shaker; strain into a large highball glass over ice cubes. Sprinkle with nutmeg and serve in a highball glass.

ROSEMARY & RIESLING

MULLED WINE

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup sugar

2 Tbsp rosemary

1/4 cup honey

2 lemons

2 bottles Finger Lakes Riesling Simmer (but not boil) the water, sugar, rosemary, and honey for 10 minutes. Add in the wine. Peel the lemons and add in the peels. Let sit – without boiling – for 12 minutes to meld the flavors. Strain out the larger bits and serve warm.

A Beer Culture Distinct from Wine

Like winemaking, beer-brewing is rooted in our agricultural history. But that’s where the similarity ends, writes Bryan Roth on goodbeerhunting.com.

“Growth in the Finger Lakes beer industry isn’t defined by its parallel to an already established wine business. It’s creating something mutually exclusive that fits ideally in a blue-collar region long reliant on industrial jobs and agriculture. Beer, the stereotypical ‘drink of the people,’ is just that. Wine has long driven interests for tourists, whereas its fermented cousin of barley and hops has typically held its place at the table of those who live there, only recently growing its capacity in number of breweries and volume of options.”

85 craft breweries are operating across the Finger Lakes region.

HOSPITALITY BY

Snowed In With the Kids?

Here are three fun games that keep everyone – adults included – entertained, recommended by Mary Kiehle at the Unique Toy Shop in Canandaigua.

“Kids love that the players sit on the floor for THE WORLD OF DISNEY EYE FOUND IT. The gameboard is 6 feet long! It takes players on a journey through 12 familiar Disney ‘realms’ as they search for iconic objects. You only need 5 minutes to learn the rules and 15 minutes to play, but with more than 1,000 objects to find, you can play again and again.”

“

QWIRKLE is like Scrabble in that players build off tiles in a grid-like pattern. Instead of letters though, the tiles feature different colored shapes. Players place their tile adjacent to one that matches either its color or shape but not both. The game is designed for two to four players, but a child could play it alone as a skill-building matching game. Qwirkle is a consistent award winner.”

“PENCIL NOSE is hilarious. Like Pictionary, players must draw an object listed on a card, but they don’t hold the writing instrument in their hand. Instead, a marker is attached to the nose of a pair of glasses they must wear. It’s really, really fun to play with several people of all different ages.”

Browse our retail store for functional pottery in a variety of colors including our classic Bristoleaf® design. Then follow the yellow brick road into the workshop and see it be made!

This Fall … Five Steps for Winterizing Your Garden from the experts at Uber Lawns & Landscape

REMOVE ANY AND ALL REMAINING WEEDS FROM BEDS

Check underneath plants where they may be hiding. Although not very exciting, this step is key to success in the spring/ summer. Weeds that are not removed will seed and come back.

7851 State Route 20a, Bloomfield, NY 14469

Open 7 days a week, 9-5pm www.wizardofclay.com

Located in the Town of Bristol, 3 miles east of Honeoye Lake. Look for the domes!

CUT YOUR PERENNIALS AND NONWOODY PLANTS TO JUST ABOVE THE GROUND

Spread excess plant material in and around the beds. It may seem weird, but as it decomposes it adds nutrients to the soil during winter.

TRIM YOUR EVERGREEN SHRUBS AND TREES

Doing so before the first consistent frost helps decrease the windburn they may experience in the cold.

WRAP THEM IN BURLAP OR A SIMILAR MATERIAL

It also reduces the risk of windburn. You can also cover perennials you haven’t cut down to the ground as protection from the elements.

PERFORM THE FOLLOWING TASKS

Remove fall annuals, add some mulch and/or soil amendment to the beds, and give everything a good watering.

PRO TIP: PLANT YOUR BULBS!

It’s a great way to add early spring color and diversity to your beds. Just be sure to plant them at the proper depth (usually suggested on the packaging) and in good soil.

’Tis the Season for Spur-of-the-Moment Entertaining

You’re enjoying a good book on a snowy Saturday afternoon when you get a text: your former roommate is in town with her boyfriend and they’re on their way to see you.

After changing out of your pajamas, you survey your pantry and fridge. Some clev er hosts/hostesses we know keep a mix of snack options on hand that are delicious, impressive and simple. Others have to order out for pizza. Be ready for the next unexpect ed guest with these suggestions from Black Buggy Market & Deli on Route 5 & 20.

CRACKERS – Round Breton crackers come in two sizes and a variety of flavors (Multigrain, Basil & Olive Oil, Buttery Garlic …). They’re crisp and sturdy so pile on

SIMPLE SPREADS – Pepper jelly and Dijon mustard are great condiments for a snack tray. So is local honey mixed with a little cayenne pepper.

HARD PRETZELS FOR DIPPING

Try Uncle Henry’s Extra Dark, handmade from Pennsylvania.

LOCAL CHEDDAR CHEESE –

Because it has more salt and is higher in acidity than other cheeses, it keeps longer in your refrigerator.

MEDJOOL DATES – Store them in the fridge for up to six months. Stuff them with cheese or nuts and/or drizzle them with the honey/cayenne mixture.

ALMONDS, CASHEWS AND PEANUTS –

Get an assortment of bags or cans: dry roasted, no salt, special seasoning, chocolate covered, and/or red-skinned peanuts that are full of nutrition.

JARS OF TANGY VEGETABLES: dill cucumber pickles, sweet baby pickled beets, sweet fire tiny beets, dill brussels sprout, and pickled sweet cauliflower.

PRO TIP: “Open a can, any can, and make it a meal!” say Holly Erickson and Natalie Mortimer, the gals behind the popular recipe blog The Modern Proper. Try their “Gabrielle Hamilton”: oil-packed sardines, Triscuits, Dijon mustard and cornichons.

Stocking Up

A full pantry saves time, money, and even your sanity during the winter. Here are just a few recommendations from homeinthefingerlakes.com.

PASTA AND GRAINS

Long pasta, short pasta, tubular pasta –whatever you cook with, and your family enjoys.Grain-wise, rice is an obvious choice (brown rice, white rice and jasmine), but don’t forget whole and ancient grains like barley, bulgur, and quinoa for delicious grain bowls.

DRIED BEANS AND LEGUMES

Nutritious and long-lasting, dried black, pinto and other bean varieties can be eaten on their own or added to soups, stews, salads, and stir-fries. They can even be used as a frugal meat alternative in some dishes. Legumes like lentils, split peas, and black-eyed peas are rich in fiber and protein, and contain several key vitamins and minerals.

OIL, VINEGAR & SAUCES

Olive oil is excellent for low-heat cooking and salad dressings. Canola or vegetable oil is better for high-heat cooking like frying. Red wine vinegar and white vinegar are great in marinades and homemade salad dressings. Apple cider vinegar is relatively cheap and will store indefinitely.

Good to have on hand are soy sauce, hoisin sauce if you are a fan of stir fry, Worcestershire sauce and sriracha. Must-haves: mustard, mayo and ketchup.

Please Pass the Caffeine

We all turn to hot coffee, tea and cocoa for warmth and caffeine in the winter. With several independent coffee shops plus numerous chains, Ontario County does a good job of caffeinating residents and guests from around the world.

Up to 400 mg of caffeine a day – about 4 cups – appears to be safe for most healthy adults, says the Mayo Clinic.

Regular coffee has 12 to 16 mg of caffeine per ounce, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. An ounce of espresso has 63 mg of caffeine. But who drinks just one ounce?

Espresso is, in fact, ordered in 1-ounce shots. They’re “pulled” by forcing a small amount of almost-boiling water through dark-roasted, finely-ground coffee.

If you add hot water to an espresso, it’s

called an Americano. If you add a shot of black coffee to an Americano to increase the caffeine, it’s called a Red Eye.

A cup of hot chocolate has 7.44 milligrams of caffeine, unless it’s a tall Starbucks hot chocolate, which has 20 milligrams, says the USDA.

Herbal tea contains 0 caffeine. Black tea contains between 64 and 112 mg of caffeine in an eight-ounce serving.

PRO TIP: Ask the barista at your favorite spot if their coffee is locally roasted!

Fond Memories of Cookies and Pie

We all have childhood memories of things that make us warm inside on a cold winter day. Maybe it’s homemade jam with morning toast, like the kind they serve at Ray’s Restaurant in Canandaigua. Or maybe it’s the taste of a fresh-baked pie, the kind you can order from Lafayette Restaurant, also in Canandaigua. Perhaps its real maple syrup on buttermilk pancakes, on the menu of Shelly’s Village Café in Victor.

Ice skating at the Canandaigua Civic Center or skiing Bristol Mountain become adult activities when chased with a flight at Peacemaker or Irish Mafia brewing companies.

And snow angels never get old – whether in a public park or on the front lawn at your favorite hotel.

After the sun goes down and you’ve put on your corduroy and flannel, consider dinner at one of the region’s many excellent restaurants, followed by live entertainment at The Smith in Geneva, Fort Hill Performing Arts Center in Canandaigua, or a neighborhood pub.

Out for a Stroll

There are skiers and skaters and hikers, but some of us simply are strollers. We like to breathe the bracing winter air at our own pace as we head to a specific destination … or no destination at all. Ours is not a race to the bottom or the top of anything, because there are too many things we need to see along the way. Stores windows, for instance, in charming downtowns; and historical markers on civic buildings and private homes.

We love New York! Much investment has been made in Geneva’s waterfront for greater walkability. As you stroll along Seneca Lake, be sure to snap a selfie at the huge “I Love NY” on the waterfront at the Finger Lakes Welcome Center.

Canandaigua rates highest in Shopping and Culture & Entertainment – no surprise thanks to our wide Main Street with shops on both sides, and three museums and a performing arts center within strolling distance of each other. But walking is not limited to the city proper. Our sidewalks lead to Wegmans on busy Eastern Boulevard, and to TOPS Friendly Market on North Street.

You can also walk to the water and stroll the city pier, Kershaw Park, and farther down Lakeshore Drive all the way to Finger Lakes Community College.

Just don’t forget the risks of winter walking. Wear boots and shoes that fit well and have a good grip. Consider purchasing a pair of ice cleats for extra traction. Dress in layers and avoid carrying heavy things that can make you lose your balance or block your vision.

The Finger Lakes Winter Carnival Friday through Sunday, January 20 through 22, 2023

Now in its second year, this busy weekend in Canandaigua celebrates all the delights we have to offer in the winter: comfort food, warm beverages, activities in snow and on ice, and much more. By celebrating along with us, you’ll discover that the region’s warmth and appeal is as strong in the cold as it is in the heat of summer.

The Lake House is the hub for a wide range of family-friendly events spread across the community. The luxury resort on the northern shore of the lake embraces winter with an ice-skating rink and waterside fire pits, but during the carnival its timber-frame Event Barn is also a focal point. You’re invited to SHOP, SIP, and TASTE there by merchants, artists and makers, chefs, winemakers, and craft beverage innovators who will be on hand to show you their unique wares – some that you won’t find anywhere else but here.

The carnival highlights the exciting, delicious and fun experiences available here, even in the cold, but this celebration of winter in Canandaigua has a dual purpose. As a fundraiser, all the proceeds from the $10 admission fee go to charity.

Upgrade Your Holiday Leftovers

A turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and cranberries isn’t the only way to use up leftover fixings. Joshua Weissman, author of the New York Times Bestselling cookbook Unapologetic Cooking, urges people to upgrade them instead using “a little technique, a little creativity, and the urge to not waste ingredients.” While Josh challenges you to come up with your own ideas, he also offers simple yet delicious examples. Here’s one of them.

SAVORY STUFFING WAFFLES

3 cups leftover stuffing

Two large fresh eggs beaten together until evenly mixed 1 cup grated parmigiano reggiano cheese Salt

Break up the stuffing with your hands and add the beaten eggs. Mix thoroughly and add the cheese and salt to taste. Press into a waffle iron and cook until crisp. Top with a fried egg and leftover turkey gravy.
