The city’s main street's historicVictorian architecture leads the way to great shopping in our downtown and beautiful Canandaigua Lake.
Canandaigua is the Iroquois word for "chosen spot" and the area is truly blessed with spectacular scenery. The area is renowned for its wineries, fruits and vegetables. We enjoy water sports in the spring and summer, snow sports in the winter and beautiful fall foliage.
