State and local parks are the perfect destination for family picnics and a day at the beach. The temperature-moderate lakes have made Yates County "Wine Country" by providing ideal grape growing conditions.

In an era of malls and "big box" retailers, it is refreshing to find a community where the spirit of customer service and the enjoyment of boutique shopping still live on. The historic down town Penn Yan (http://www.villageofpennyan.com) is home to many unique and charming shops, while cozy Mennonite shops open their doors year round and offer many items not found anywhere else. Local artists, potters, bakers and gourmet food producers provide a kaleidoscope of gift ideas, collectables and one of a kind souvenirs. |
