The adjoining Bella Vista at Carsa Larga Event Center services "wedding receptions, formal gatherings, corporate business meetings, anniversary parties, bar and bat mitzvahs, or any special event." Although listed on the Canandaguia Wine Trail, Casa Larga's vineyards are located atop a hill southeast of Fairport. "The Vineyards at Casa Larga occupy 45 acres of land, located atop one of the highest points in the Finger Lakes region.
Rich Ontario sandy loam soil, brought here by glaciers at the end of the Ice Age, makes our vineyards one of the best places to grow grapes in the Finger Lakes." 2.
