In 'The Hobbit', the elves are described as a fun-loving people. While the dwarves approach Rivendell, the elves sing taunting songs at them, but Tolkien also mentions several times that they are very wise. Elrond is described as 'as kind as summer', among other things. So I would think that the elves do not take things too seriously, value kindness, but also wisdom, and some (the Elvenking of Mirkwood, for example) value their privacy and secrecy. Craftsmanship also seems important, as does music. The Elvenking also seemed very proud.
In 'The Lord of the Rings', the descriptions of the elves make them seem far more 'serious', with less of the merrymaking described in 'The Hobbit'.

What are hobbies that the elves enjoy in The Hobbit?
They are talented craftsmen
In The Hobbit where is the elves' wine made?
In the Hobbit, King Thranduil of Mirkwood, the Wood Elves' king, liked his wine from Dorwinion. His wine was also imported by the Elves of Mirkwood in barrels down the Forest River from Long lake.
Why did the elvish-looking folk disappear when the dwarves went running into their camp?
If you are referring to the book "The Hobbit," we aren't told exactly. We do know that elves and dwarves had a long-standing grudge against each other. But it does seem as if the elves were trying to trap them, or at least to create an excuse for taking them prisoner. The elves in "The Hobbit" were more like the elves in Celtic folklore - silly, tricky, deceitful little fairies - than the regal, mysterious elves in "The Lord of the Rings." Legolas was a Mirkwood elf, one of the people that the dwarves encountered in "The Hobbit," and was not considered the equal of the Lorien elves.
Why were the travelers actually glad to be captured by the Wood-elves in The Hobbit?
They were tired and hungry with no food or water. At least with the elves, they were fed.Because they had lost their way in Mirkwood and were on the brink of starvation.
In the book 'The Hobbit' are the Lake men and the Wood elves relatives?
No. There would be some reference to the Elves and Men mixing there. But there is not. They are separate races, and though they trade, they are not related.
