– www.americanpresstravelnews.com -September 15,-Lake Erie, N.Y.-Love Concord grapes, so we just had to visit “The Grape Discovery Center”. The Lake Erie Grape Discovery Center is the official Visitor’s Center for New York State, Lake Erie Concord Grape Belt Heritage Area. It is about all things, but especially the Grape!

Enjoyed their tasting bar which has a selection of wines and grape juice from local wineries.We browsed through the Discovery Center which is both informational and hands on information. and and found the gift shop had a beautiful selection of locally made crafts. They had a tasting of local dipping oils and sauces. Once we tried them, just had to take some home. This is a great place for your first stop if you want to pick up information on local wineries. Not only do they have the information. but they will direct you to the place that is best for your travel destinations.

Making peanut brittle at Webb’s. A favorite of ours!

– www.americanpresstravelnews.com. Maryville, NY-At Webb’s Candy Factory– We love chocolate, so a visit to Webb’s Candy Factory was a “Must”place to visit. All candy is made on site. Webb’s Candy Factory is located beside Chautauqua Lake in Mayville, New York. Opened in 1942 and has remained in the family since 1942. Famous for making goat’s milk fudge, molasses sponge and peanut butter squares. All their candy is made by hand using the old fashioned copper kettle method.

When we entered the store, we were enticed with glass cases filled with chocolates of every shape and sizes. Darrel Webb was in the candy factory ready to make peanut brittle for us. He filled the large copper kettle with all the ingredients and as we watched it heat up he stirred everything until it was ready to pour on to the table for the finished product. Wow, it was delicious!! The store has a nice viewing area so each day visitors can view the candy being prepared. Just had to take home the famous fudge and of course a few turtles. Everything looked so good, it was hard to decide what we wanted. They also have a selection of local gifts and souvenirs. Webb’s is located in Mayville, New York. They also have another store in Haines City, FL.          Take a look at their website: www.webbsworld.com

Rows and rows of chocolates!
