oldest farms and vineyards, the Hudson Valley brims with locally-made favorites, from
foie gras to goat farm cheese. And in
an era when freshness is measured in
hours, not days, the region's fine country
restaurants enjoy first pick, edging out
some of their trendy Manhattan
counterparts.
Hudson Valley chefs support their
growers, the very farmers whose
families have supplied this valley
for generations. And as with
that unforgettable auberge in France,
the best Hudson Valley dining is real
a celebration of the land, an event
to be cherished.
