Lodging is at the  Beautiful Glenora Winery and Inn  which is all at the same complex
and reservations can be made by contacting Glenora at http://www.glenora.com/ .I have reserved a block of  15 rooms for attendees and they run from Wednesday night to Saturday morning for those who would like to stay an extra night before traveling home. Rates for the retreat are $159.00( roughly 80.00 per night) double occupancy ( 2 queen beds in each room with a beautiful view of the vineyard and lake!) for Wednesday and Thursday- Friday is $209.00 double occupancy. You will have to reserve your room though Glenora with a credit card to hold it for you. There are many wineries located within a days drive so spending an extra day or so is always a nice opportunity to see the beautiful wine country and sample all the wonderful world renowned wines! The winery is located on Seneca Lake and  those flying in can use either the Rochester or Syracuse airport. The drive from  either airport will about an hour or so and  it would be best to rent a car and  then spend a bit more time enjoying the fingerlakes after the retreat!
