Fall Into New York’s Finger Lakes

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Soon the leaves will start to change and the lush, green hillsides will slowly become ablaze in reds, oranges and yellows.

It’s the perfect time to visit New York’s Finger Lakes. The days are warm and the nights are crisp. On the weekends in October enjoy chairlift rides at Bristol Mountain, our local ski mountain just down the road from the 1795 Acorn Inn, and view the foliage from above. Bring along a picnic basket, a bottle of wine and a blanket. Find a secluded spot off the beaten path and enjoy a romantic escape. Take a leisurely drive among the vineyards and taste wine.  Or, walk among the apple orchards and pick a variety of juicy, crisp New York apples.  There’s plenty to do and see.

The weekends fill up quickly so book now and get the weekend of your choice. Or, visit during the week and take advantage of our best multiple weeknight rates.

Full Moon Over New York State’s Finger Lakes

Monday, April 12th, 2010

Full Moon

No doubt this moon created a stunning sight throughout Upstate New York’s Finger Lakes.  Recently taken from the parking lot of the 1795 Acorn Inn, the full moon lit up the sky and illuminated the rolling hills of Bristol.

In order to share the ever changing landscape of the Finger Lakes, I will periodically post photos that I’ve taken while exploring the area.  I absolutely love taking a road less traveled with camera close by and documenting the ever changing seasons. (more…)

1795 Acorn Inn/Brown Hound January 20, 2010 Dinner

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Looking forward to the Brown Hound Bistro dinner this Saturday. Eight guests have signed up for this feast. We even had guests who were not staying at the 1795 Acorn Inn want to join us. Unfortunately, that would make it just a tad less special for our guests so we declined. Bon Appetit!

We have two more dinners coming up. Make sure to book those in advance so that we can accommodate you.

Finger Lakes Wineries

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Famous for Rieslings and Gewurtztraminer, the Finger Lakes area is the second largest wine-producing region in the US.  With more than 80 vintners producing unique selections, you are sure to find a bottle of something to bring home.

An example of the bounty of Upstate New York

On the other side of the lake from our bed and breakfast New York is the Wilhelmus Estate Winery. The Winery is new but the recipes for the wine are from the “old world”. Wilhelmus Kuenen, a Dutch immigrant, brought his family to the States when his son Boud was 7 years old. Wilhelmus started making wine in 1958. He became a very serious wine maker after his retirement in the 1970’s, winning awards across the Northeast. Boud and Karen Kuenen opened the winery in 2007 and named the winery in memory of Boud’s father, the original Vintner. (more…)
