Explore the Roots of Rochester!

Wednesday, September 13th

Join us for a special Rochester Sips and Sights FAM Tour on Wednesday, September 13th!

Visit Rochester and NYSTIA invite you to join your tourism colleagues and visit the attractions that highlight the unique history, architecture, cuisine and culture of Rochester. Along the way, there will be tastings from iconic local breweries, wineries and distilleries and light, locally inspired fare, museum tours and more!

Starting at the Genesee Brew House, an American icon and Rochester staple for 125 years, you'll enjoy light fare, drinks, and the sight of a 96-foot waterfall: one of the largest urban waterfalls in the country! We will then visit the historic George Eastman Museum, the oldest photography museum in the world celebrating the life of George Eastman, founder of Eastman Kodak, and his impact on the Rochester Community. We will conclude our tour at Black Button Distilling, the first small-batch distillery to open in Rochester since prohibition, for light fare, beer, wine, and distilled spirits from Black Button, Rohrbach Brewing, and Casa Larga Winery.
