Happy Easter

Happy Easter from the bunnies at Another World Bed and Breakfast in Naples, NY in the beautiful Canandaigua area of the Finger Lakes.  The table is set for a lovely Easter breakfast.

Fox Sighting in the Neighborhood

I was at my neighbor's house in the late afternoon enjoying a cup of tea with her when I thought I saw an orange cat in her back yard.  It actually turned out to be a stunning red fox.  My friend grabbed her camera and captured it's journey across her property.  When it got in the snow pile that remained by her garage it started jumping and jumping in the air as if it was putting a show on for us.  After it completed its performance it sauntered across the road and disappeared in the brush in a field.  So much amazing wild life in the Naples, NY / Canandaigua area in the Finger Lakes region.

Naples Maple Days - March 16-17 and March 23-24

WOHLSCHLEGEL'S NAPLES MAPLE FARM

Visit our scenic maple farm for a pancake breakfast, sugarhouse tour and woods walk through the sugarbush on the weekends of March 16-17 and March 23-24. Feast on all-you-can-eat pancakes drizzled with our farm-made maple syrup plus 2 sausages and beverages from 8am to 1pm. (Pancake breakfasts run $3 for children ages 3-7, $5 for children 8-12 years and $7 for ages 12 and over and adults.) Then, from 10 to 4pm, enjoy our open house and woods walks (if the weather cooperates, we might be boiling the sap before your eyes!). We’ll be serving up an extra-sweet special: maple cotton candy. And don’t forget to enjoy free tastes of our "moxilicious" gourmet maple cream, homemade syrups and maple mustard.

HAZLITT'S RED CAT CELLARS

On March 16th and 17th, Hazlitt’s will be serving a Garlic Maple-Rubbed pulled pork simmered to melt-in-your-mouth tenderness in a crockpot, flavored with Hazlitt’s apple-infused Spyder Bite wine and maple syrup (all ingredients available in our gift shop). We’ll also be holding an end-of-the-season blowout on clothing and retail merchandise, along with a sweet coupon for visitors on your next visit. Each guest will receive a coupon tethered to a maple-sugar treat that entitles you to one of the three options: a free wine tasting, 10% off your next purchase, or (in one lucky winner’s case) a Red Cat Tote filled to the top with goodies.

 BREW & BRATS (BEHIND ARBOR HILL)

Join us for the Irish Bash at Brew & Brats (located behind Arbor Hill) on March 16th and 17th! We’ll be featuring a Gaelic gastronomic gala starring Bangers & Mash from Hartmann’s Sausage (what’s “bangers and mash,” you ask? A delicious feast from the Old Country of sausage and mashed potatoes served with onions, cabbage and parsley). We’ll be pairing this with Red Rhino Beer from Custom Brewcrafters, Winemasters Green Sauerkraut, and rousing tunes by the Textured Winos. The price? A scant $14.95. Plus, help us celebrate “throwing the switch” to our new GREEN solar-powered system on Saturday 16th at noon!
