Maple in the Mountains

Bring your family to Cattaraugus County in the Enchanted Mountains of Western New York for a weekend of learning and tasting!

Learn first hand how maple sap becomes maple syrup; ride wagons to the woods for a visit to the sugar houses of the maple producers where you will see evaporators full of boiling sap that transitions to a flavorful, mouth watering amber colored maple syrup.
