Naples Grape Festival fills the Finger Lakes village of Naples each late September with a grape pie contest, a beverage garden of regional wines and craft beverages, live music, and hundreds of craft and food vendors. Running since the mid-1960s, the festival celebrates the valley's grape-growing heritage at the height of harvest season.
Its specific local food identity makes it a strong regional food row.
The festival's signature Naples Greatest Grape Pie Contest has become a genuine culinary institution, drawing dedicated home bakers competing with a dessert specific to the Concord grape varieties grown in the surrounding valley, a dish rarely found outside this particular Finger Lakes growing region
Its Brahm Moore Beverage Garden showcases the output of the valley's wineries, breweries, cideries, and distilleries in one setting, reflecting how thoroughly the region's agricultural identity now extends beyond raw grape sales into value-added beverage production
