Part of the reason so many love of our festival is its location! Leave the keys in your room – you can walk or take the trolley easily and explore the plethora of shops, restaurants and attractions located right in Lake George Village.

If you’re attending the festival, we already know you love Wine, Beer, Spirits and Good Food! Take a stroll down Canada Street and visit the original locations of some of our favorite local vendors that will be at the festival! Learn a bit with a brewery tour at Adirondack Brewery, test your taste buds with a wine and cheese pairing at the Adirondack Winery, head next door to the Lake George Olive Oil Co. and try out dozens of crafted olive oils of all flavors and finish it off by trying one of the unique spirits made by the folks at Lake George Distilling.

If you pair delicious food and amazing drinks, you can’t go wrong, but most importantly, keep it simple and easy going.  Not too many activities, but enough to laugh and love your day away.

What better way to turn up the heat than with a horse-drawn carriage ride and an evening cruise on the Lake?  Always ranked as two “must-dos” when you visit Lake George, the Carriage Rides home base is just steps away from the Festival and Lake George Steamboat Company Pier. With many options, from daytime cruises to a sunset dinner cruise or an evening cruise under the stars, you’re sure to find a Lake Cruise that fits your schedule.

Here’s a tip: Keep an eye out for tickets to go on sale for their Adirondack Wine & Food Festival cruises on June 27th & 28^th; the Lac Du Saint Sacrament Steamboat will feature an impressive buffet menu of foods infused with Adirondack Winery wines, and a bar menu featuring beer, wine, and spirits from our festival vendors!

If you’re making the most of your visit by planning more than 1 night away with your significant other, we’ve got a few spots for good eats and shopping we recommend you check out as well!

Plan ahead and book an outside table on the Lakeside deck at the Boathouse Restaurant. There’s nothing better than enjoying a good meal, delicious drinks and good conversation under the open air and stars while the waters of Lake George splash in the background.

If a classic Adirondack log-cabin style setting sounds more your speed, book a table fireside at The Log Jam Restaurant – great for both lunch and a hearty dinner, they’re probably best known for their amazing salad bar and bread selection; plus they support New York Wine, too.

Where do the purse strings come in? The Factory Outlets of Lake George are located just steps away from The Log Jam. Plan some time for shopping and satisfy your sweetie by taking advantage of some great deals at the huge number of national brand stores you can find here!
