Aubergine

What an incredible stay! Spotless, comfortable, cozy, with a beautiful garden. Tons of thoughtful touches within the home. Christine served the BEST breakfasts, offered great recommendations, and we looked forward to our morning chats. Didn’t want to leave, and will definitely return. Already miss you and the house, Christine! 🍕

This was our first visit to the Finger Lakes region as a couple (and the very first one for me). We wanted a getaway to celebrate our small anniversary together and we couldn't have picked a better place. Christine's bed and breakfast is so spectacular that for the three days of our stay we felt like home, or even better than home. She is a wonderful attentive host, a kind-hearted and lovely person who puts so much attention and effort into every detail, it's amazing. Words cannot describe the experience we've had. Out of all B&B experiences over the past ten years, this was the best and I doubt that anything in the future will ever beat it. A lot of the greatness comes from Christine's outgoing and warm personality and that is very rare these days. We will definitely be back for our next visit, whenever it may be.
Aside from great conversations and charming French-style accommodations, Christine is a phenomenal baker. Every breakfast was lovingly made from scratch with a new recipe every day. Her homemade yogurt is to die for (and I am not a fan of yogurt to begin with!). Long story short, you will not be disappointed with Aubergine, Chris, and her lovely dog Finn. And make sure you get to enjoy the serenity of her garden and chill out with a glass of Finger Lakes wine in the back patio.

My wife and I stayed at Aubergine for a wedding weekend and had the most perfect time! We were pleasantly greeted by Christine, the owner, with her adorable dog. The house was immaculately clean and very historic: it has a French vibe that was executed well. The little details like wood accents, wood doors, original craftsmanship, etc. were preserved with such care. Christine's cooking was to DIE for! She utilizes local ingredients to create some great dishes. We had such a great time, and can't wait to come back. If we're ever in Penn Yan, we're staying at Aubergine without a doubt. Thank you, Christine!

Our first ever visit to the Finger Lakes made all the more memorable via our host. Christine, the proprietor knows hospitality, and runs a beautiful B&B. Our room was impeccably clean, with a large private bathroom. A/C worked beautifully and was needed during our stay which had the weather being quite humid.

Her breakfasts were beautifully prepared and delicious. Everything was made from scratch, with many of the ingredients coming from her garden. Christine was also impeccably knowledgeable and helpful as to winery recs, restaurants, museums and other points of interest.

We only wished that we had more time as the grounds to her home were serenely beautiful and we should have taken advantage of this. As a fellow gardener, I truly appreciated and recognized her efforts in creating outdoor space that was very inviting. Next time for sure as Aubergine is truly a gem.

To say that the Aubergine exceeded our expectations is an understatement. The house/room was clean, comfortable, and ripe with character. Her breakfasts were absolutely delicious, and the attention to detail is very impressive. My husband and I valued her input in helping plan our Finger Lakes adventure, and no recommendation of hers led us astray. Will definitely be staying here again for future Finger Lakes outings!
P.S. shout out to her adorable dog Fin, and the beautiful Dahlia garden!

We were traveling through upstate New York enroute to Niagara Falls. Christine was absolutely fantastic with hospitality, rooms were very comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. We will be back.

A wonderful visit. The inn is stately and nostalgic, the sleeping quarters extra comfy and the inn keeper a gracious hostess.
Breakfast is delicious and plentiful, prepared with many locally grown and cultivated ingredients. Simply put, pride in ownership!

If you plan to visit the Finger Lakes, the historic town of Penn Yan and the Aubergine Inn are a must.

We’ll be back for certain!
