Canandaigua Lake

The city end and the grape-pie end.

Canandaigua puts a small city at one end of the lake and a Concord-grape farm town at the other — Sonnenberg Gardens on one shore, Monica's Pies on the other.

About Canandaigua Lake

Canandaigua is 16 miles long, anchored by the city of Canandaigua at the north end — Sonnenberg Gardens, New York Kitchen, Roseland Waterpark, a real downtown. The south end is Naples: Concord grape country, home to the grape pie tradition that shows up in bakery windows every fall. Bristol Mountain rises above the west shore for skiing in winter. The west and east shores stay quieter and more residential than the two population centers on either tip.
