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. Be sure to check out their Queensbury Tasting Room 15 minutes south of Lake George! In this new facility, you still enjoy their classic wine tastings but with more space, 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.”
