Situated on the north shore of Canandaigua Lake in the heart of the Finger Lakes Region, the New York Kitchen is a multifaceted venue celebrating New York‘s agriculture, culinary, and craft beverage industries. About Us Located in the heart of the Finger Lakes, New York Kitchen is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, originating from the collaboration of Constellation Brands, Wegmans Food Markets, Rochester Institute of Technology, and the New York Wine and Grape Foundation. These dynamic forces came together with a shared passion and mission to create a gateway for people around the world to experience New York’s incredible agriculture and viticulture industries. New York Kitchen believes that a strong connection between people, place, and produce is essential to promoting healthy lifestyles and thriving communities. We use the stories of agriculture, food, and beverage to inspire creative exploration to educate, excite, and engage the world in a celebration of the incredible bounty of New York State. Each day, New York Kitchen drives this mission forward through its educational hands-on cooking and craft beverage pairing classes and programs, industry certification courses, and 100% New York State Tasting Room. Through partnerships with area farmers, wineries, breweries, distilleries, producers, and entrepreneurs, we offer an array of inviting experiences which proudly highlight and promote the quality, diversity, and economic impact of food and beverages that originate in New York State
