Tap & Craft Festival Returns to Canandaigua — 25+ Breweries, Live Music, and a Lakeshore Setting This November

Thirty minutes south of Rochester, a lakeside hotel becomes one big taproom for an afternoon. The Tap & Craft Festival returns to Hotel Canandaigua on November 7, bringing together 25+ craft beverage brands — breweries, cideries, and distilleries — pouring 50+ individual styles across an open, unhurried tasting session. Live music from Cisco PL fills the room while artisan vendors line the floor. This is the kind of November afternoon that reminds you why you live near the Finger Lakes.

Date: Saturday, November 7, 2026 Time: 3:00–7:00 PM (VIP entry at 3:00 PM) Location: Hotel Canandaigua, 205 Lakeshore Drive, Canandaigua, NY Cost: $50 General / $65 VIP / $12 Designated Driver
