One we especially love is: 🍷 Christopher Jacobs Winery – Pine Bush, NY We have dear friends who own this peaceful, family-run winery, and it’s surrounded by gorgeous rolling vineyards and stunning views. The wine is delicious, and the people are even better—it’s the kind of place where you want to stay for hours. 📍 cjwinery.com More to check out in Orange County: • City Winery – Montgomery, NY Beautiful setting with wine, live music, and farm-to-table food. • Storm King Art Center – Cornwall, NY A world-class outdoor sculpture park set on 500+ acres of hills and trails. • Soons Orchards – New Hampton, NY A family farm with apple picking, cider tastings, and homemade treats. • LEGOLAND New York – Goshen, NY A fun option if you’re bringing little ones or just love a little adventure. • Brotherhood Winery – Washingtonville, NY The oldest winery in the country, offering tastings and guided tours. • Bear Mountain State Park Scenic trails, lake views, and picnic spots—great for a relaxing afternoon. • Angry Orchard Cider House – Walden, NY Tasting room, walking trails, and cider with a view!
