We’ll be tasting and selling at Watkin’s Glen Wine & Spirits. Hope you can join.

Join in on the Grand #Prix Fun for one of the liveliest nights in downtown Watkins Glen! In between visiting all the Friday on Franklin stops, check out all of the many Watkins Glen Grand Prix Festival activities, with the parade taking place at 6:00pm! This event is sponsored by our friends at Chemung Canal Trust Company, and will feature numerous pairings at the various, participating businesses.
