Around the Town...<br />
Are you ready for some shopping? <strong>Clayton</strong> was<br />
built with that in mind. Most of downtown<br />
was constructed in the late 19th century to<br />
meet the needs of shoppers coming from both<br />
land and water.<br />
Be sure to look up while you walk along<br />
our main streets. The upper stories share<br />
attractive architectural features - window<br />
crowns, and cast-iron cornices.<br />
If you are interested in architecture, be sure to<br />
pop into the <strong>Chamber</strong> of Commerce for their<br />
historic walking tour map. It’s a self-guided<br />
passport into the intriguing history and charm<br />
of <strong>Clayton</strong>’s commercial buildings, homes and<br />
churches. Also, take a stroll along our scenic<br />
Riverwalk.<br />
The natural beauty of the St. Lawrence River<br />
has inspired artists for centuries, so its no<br />
wonder that <strong>Clayton</strong> is home to a number of<br />
galleries.<br />
Art galleries are just the beginning. A<br />
leisurely walk around the Village brings<br />
you to an array of unique shops including<br />
clothing boutiques as well as shops offering<br />
1000 Islands collectibles to take home as a<br />
keepsake.<br />
Take home a taste of the 1000 Islands from<br />
one of several gourmet food emporiums<br />
including 1000 Islands “River Rat” Cheese,<br />
Bechaz Riverdale Cheese, or a bottle of the<br />
famous “Original” Thousand Islands Dressing<br />
that was created right here.<br />
Perhaps you’d like to visit a local winery,<br />
distillery or brewery.<br />
<strong>Clayton</strong>’s climate combined with the constant<br />
moisture flow from the St. Lawrence River is<br />
a perfect match for growing cold hardy grape<br />
vines.<br />
Coyote Moon Vineyards, located on East<br />
Line Road in <strong>Clayton</strong>, offers free tours of the<br />
wine making area and a tasting room is open<br />
daily allowing visitors to sample before they<br />
purchase. Coyote Moon Wine & Dine, located<br />
on Riverside Drive, also offers the opportunity<br />
to sample wine, grab a bite to eat, shop, or<br />
listen to local musician.<br />
The Thousand Islands Winery is located<br />
approximately 7 miles north of <strong>Clayton</strong>. Free<br />
wine tasting allows you to sample their wines<br />
and you can take a free tour of the wine<br />
production facility.<br />
Northern Flow Vineyards, <strong>Clayton</strong>’s newest<br />
winery, invites visitors to its tasting room and<br />
patio located at DeLuke’s Garden Center, about<br />
