Things To Do
Monument Mountain
A staple hike in The Berkshires! It's extremely popular but with good reason. It can be done in under two hours and you will get beautiful views and a solid workout. It's a nice way to get some nature in while still having the day ahead to explore other parts of The Berkshires.
Olivia's Overlook
A well-maintained, moderate trail with a fantastic view of Stockbridge Bowl as soon as you arrive in the parking lot.
Tyringham Cobble Trail
An enchanting, short hike with various scenic vistas along the way.
Umpachene Falls
What used to feel like our own private swimming spot, has since become super popular in the Southern Berkshire area! A great little waterfall to cool off in after taking a stroll around the Goodnow or New Marlborough Preserve. If you walk up towards the falls, you'll find plenty of rocks to lay on as you soak up the sun. Don't forget to stop off at the Southfield Store on your way and take some breakfast or lunch to go!
Xicohtencatl Restaurant
Delicious Mexican food! On a summer night, there's plenty of options to sit outside and enjoy the patio decor. Fun fact - this is where Luke and I ate dinner the night we got engaged! Depending on the size of your party, we recommend making a reservation as they tend to book up.
Baba Louie's Sourdough Pizza
I know most of you New Yorkers traveling for this wedding are probably thinking, pizza? In Massachusetts? Here us out! Thin crust, homemade, SOURDOUGH PIZZA. You will want to drive from NY to MA just to get this pie. Enough said.
GB Eats
A delicious spot to get a quick bite for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! The food is fresh, the service is great, and the menu will cater to all types of cravings and dietary restrictions.
The Southfield Store
The most adorable breakfast, brunch, lunch cafe. It's just a short drive from Gedney Farm and we come almost every time we get up to The Berkshires. Their yogurt and granola bowl is something else!
twoflower Great Barrington
Coffee Bar and Bistro serving exceptional coffee and locally sourced small plates and baked goods 34 Railroad Street.
Fuel Bistro/ Coffee Shop
A fun downtown coffee shop located in the heart of Great Barrington! Whether you're looking for a good cup of coffee, tea or even some breakfast or lunch, fuel is always a great place to make a stop at.
Marjoram + Roux
Great little coffee shop with some breakfast and lunch options to take on the go as your wander around GB!
MoonCloud
Baba Louies has a wait time of 30 minutes and you're not sure what to do with yourself? Fear not! Just a few steps away you will find MoonCloud - a cocktail bar with the most creative and delicious drinks. The mixologist, Billy, bartending skills will send you into a trance! A great pitstop while you are strolling the shops on Railroad street.
Barrington Brewery & Restaurant
Solar brewed-beer with delicious bites! A great way to reward yourself after hiking Monument Mountain. The vegetarian chili is delightful and Johnny loves to hang out there, too.
Hancock Shaker Village
If you're a history buff like Juliane, take a visit to Hancock Shaker Village, which dates back to the late 1700s. Today, the site has been transformed into a living history museum with a working farm, a one-mile walking trail, and thousands of fascinating artifacts (think: furniture, tools, textiles, and more).
High Lawn Farm
Visiting Highlawn Farm sparked Luke's inspiration to propose to Juliane at a Cow Farm after seeing her in pure bliss at this place. Fresh ice cream, delicious cheese, and cows! Who says you can't have it all?!
Mass Audubon's Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary
Beautiful sanctuary filled with 7 miles worth of trails to explore. If you're feeling adventurous you can climb Lenox Mountain from there.
