Tour #2

Our motorcoach arrives in Watkins Glen by 11:30am, in time for us to board the Captain Bill’s boat the Seneca Legacy, to experience the splendor of a meal cruise aboard our luxurious ship as we cruise on lovely Seneca Lake, the deepest of all of the Finger Lakes.

The casual elegance of this finely appointed vessel is complimented by her friendly crew. Our officers and staff promise to spoil you from stem to stern. Casual attire is welcomed.

After a relaxing cruise, we have an opportunity to sample some of the finest of Finger Lakes wines at Lakewood Vineyards. The Stamp family has farmed the western shore of Seneca Lake for four generations. Each generation has strived to produce the highest quality grapes which in turn produce the finest in wines. The rose is the symbol of this quality winery.

Overnight lodging is arranged at one of the Finger Lakes first class accommodations. The next morning enjoy a meal at the deluxe hot breakfast in the hotel restaurant. Our guide for the day will meet us before we head out for the Corning Museum of Glass. This is the world’s premier institution dedicated to the art, history and science of glass. The Hot Glass Show will leave you awestruck. Fine artisans will show you step by step the process of making an extraordinary piece of glass artwork. There are hands on exhibits and displays to entertain you as you enjoy a self-guided tour.

From here, we head north toward the continuing beauty of the region of the Finger Lakes. Our stop for lunch is in the sleepy little village of Hammondsport. Here we will have lunch at the Village Tavern. The cozy pub-like atmosphere will relax you as you are served a delicious meal with dessert. Afterwards, there will be a short time to browse the village square.

Our final stop on the tour is at the Glenn Curtis Museum just outside Hammondsport. He was known as the fastest man on earth, a pioneer of modern aviation, a true genius. This museum has something for everyone. First enjoy a brief video on the life and times of Glenn Curtis. I assure you that you will be amazed by his inventive imagination. Next, browse the museum to see first hand his many inventions, the most famous of which is the hydroaeroplane which earned him the title, “The Father of Naval Aviation.”
