Things To Do
Via Cassia
A cozy Italian restaurant known for its handmade pasta, wood-fired dishes, and warm atmosphere. During one of our wedding planning weekends, Erinn met us in town and we stopped in for dinner and completely fell in love with it. Between the incredible food, welcoming ambiance, and thoughtful attention to detail, it quickly became one of our favorite spots in the area. If you're looking for a special meal while you're in town, we highly recommend making a reservation. Approximately 20 minutes from Vanderbilt Lakeside.
BackBar
During our very first trip to tour Vanderbilt Lakeside, we ended the day at BackBar - and it quickly became one of our favorite Hudson discoveries. Tucked away behind Warren Street, this hidden gem offers creative cocktails, a relaxed atmosphere, and a charming outdoor patio that's perfect for a summer evening. Whether you're looking for a pre-dinner drink or a laid-back night out, we highly recommend stopping by.
Klocke Estate
Nestled among rolling hills and vineyards, Klocke Estate is a stunning destination for craft brandy, wine, and elevated dining in the heart of the Hudson Valley. Known for its beautiful grounds, European-inspired architecture, and thoughtfully crafted spirits, it's the perfect place to spend a leisurely afternoon. Whether you're stopping by for a tasting, enjoying a meal on the terrace, or simply taking in the scenery, Klocke offers a uniquely Hudson Valley experience.
