Weekend Getaway: Rhinebeck, NY
Continue

In summer and fall, weekend warriors, artists, winemakers, and organic farmers all converge on Rhinebeck, a village in New York’s Hudson River Valley. Though it’s just 120 miles north of New York City, Rhinebeck’s colonial history, gourmet food, and beautiful countryside make it feel worlds away from the Big Apple. Taste some wine, buy heirloom veggies, catch the sunset over the river—and be sure to save time for a massage before you head home.
