Any chance you get to take a drive around the Hudson Valley will not
fail to impress! The scenic landscape is remarkable all year round.
While the Fall season is most popular, the Springtime offers fruit trees,
blooming tulips, and a mesmerizing sea of green, green grass. For
specific routes to tour the area, check out Dutchess Tourism's list of
driving tours. In addition, the itineraries that we have pulled together
provide a wonderful gallop through the countryside while you're in
search of tasty eateries, local wineries, and fabulous historic houses.
To give you an idea of distances, I've listed several villages and towns
that make a great daytripping experience:
Millbrook- 30 minutes away to the east just off the Taconic State
Parkway. Shops, restaurants, Millbrook Winery, Trevor Zoo, and
Innisfree Gardens
Hudson- 25 minutes to the north. Antiques, restaurants, Olana State
Historic Site.
Saugerties- 20 minutes to the northwest just up the NYS Thruway.
Small shops, restaurants, Saugerties lighthouse.
Roundout in Kingston- 20 minutes to the west just over the
Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge. Boardwalk of shops, restaurants, dock for
Hudson River Cruises.
