Tours in Geneva

Fox Run is situated on the slopes overlooking one of the deepest parts of Seneca Lake -- a winery with fifty acres of vineyards producing a remarkable range of fine, hand-crafted wines. Fox Run Vineyards has become one of the truly great cool-climate wine producers in the Finger Lakes region and the world.

Preparing explorers for jaunts through the waterways and paths of the historic Erie Canal, the staffers of Erie Canal Boat Company outfit visitors with bicycle, kayak, canoe, pontoon, and paddleboat rentals, as well as appropriate supplies. They lead group and private lessons, teaching tender-footed kayakers the basics of safety and stroke skills for recreational, competitive, or impress-your-favorite-seal's-mom kayaking. They also host weekly paddling clubs and races, as well as annual regattas, and stock a variety of gear at their shop to ensure pioneers are suitably appointed for paddling and pedaling excursions.

The Haunted House of Rochester is a macabre domicile sure to scare visitors down to the tips of their belly buttons. Perambulate through 5,000 square feet of mad clowns, bloodthirsty butchers, and anthropomorphized slices of pie. Guests are admitted two or three at a time to the indoor and outdoor tour of terror. Test the strength of your best friendship, romantic relationship, or passenger/bus driver bond as you wander the perilous path, or simply find an excuse to remove an overly binding pair of dungarees, as the house is known to scare the pants off of most legs. Younger children, pregnant women, and individuals with heart conditions may want to avoid the horrific homestead. During your visit, you can also peruse a selection of pumpkins, Halloween goodies, and concessions available for purchase (cost not included in today's Groupon).

Upstate Seg Tours whisks gaggles of up to six gliders on biwheeled tours of three natural sites around Rochester. At each 1.5- to 2-hour tour's meeting place, an orientation acquaints adventurers with segway safety precautions before they hop astride their self-balancing steeds. A relaxing ramble along a tree-lined bike path near Henpeck Park acquaints eyeballs with the mirrored ripple of Erie Canal waters filled with mirrors, and the adventure tour takes daring rollers off-road near Churchville. Alternately, on the Genesee River trip, wind along a 2/3-mile boardwalk as ducks, herons, and hang-gliding hamsters wobble wildly in the wind.
