Plan Your Visit: Things to do in Lake George

Enjoy a Wine Tasting

It’s no secret we’re all about wine over here at the festival, so of course, we don’t think any trip to Lake George is complete without stopping by our Presenting Sponsor, Adirondack Winery, for a wine tasting! Adirondack Winery has a Tasting Room in Lake George right down the street from the festival grounds where you can sample over 35 fruit-infused and varietal wines. To make things even better, the winery is opening a brand-new Tasting Room in Queensbury just in time for festival weekend! In this new facility, you still enjoy their classic wine tastings but there will be more space, more food options and cocktails, and an exciting, brand-new atmosphere! We spoke to Kimberly Bullard of Legacy Nine Realty who is a long-time Adirondack Winery fan. She has watched the winery grow from the very beginning and when asked about the new building she said “I’m so excited about the new event space, it is going to be so nice to have somewhere like that in the area where you can have bachelorette parties, baby showers, or team bonding.”

Family Fun

If you’re coming to the festival with your kids (the fest is completely family-friendly by the way) then be sure to check out The Fun Spot. This classic Lake George Spot has roller-skating, go-carting, mini-golfing, laser tag, and more! There will be something everyone in the family can enjoy. If your family loves bowling, you should also check out Kingpin’s Alley in South Glens Falls!

After tiring the kids out at The Fun Spot and Kingpin’s Alley, enjoy a meal at Adirondack Brewery. The whole family can enjoy their delicious American cuisine and you can relax with a nice cold Adirondack brewed beer.
