Hudson Valley Food Tours

discovering the hudson valley ...
one taste at a time ...

stroll. savor. repeat.

Experience our tasting tours in the beautiful Hudson Valley, a short hop north of New York City and dotted with places that are ripe for exploration.

We think that the best way to discover a town or region, and have the richest possible encounter with it, is to do a behind-the-scenes culinary tour, as you learn about its culture and history and engage with the restaurateurs, artisans and farmers who are eager to share what they do and why.

Our two- to four-hour strolls will entice you with the best palate-pleasers in each unique town. Five-hour bus and limo tours cover more ground, as we see more of the area. Sometimes we tie in food tastings with other fine arts like music or contemporary art indigenous to the area.

Restaurants, food and beverage producers and shops have been handpicked to represent the best of each place we visit.

valley vibe

The pace of life is laid back and soothing up here, with stunning natural beauty that's a perfect temporary or long term escape from the rat race. The Hudson Valley is as gorgeous as anywhere, with its rolling hills, majestic mountains and soulful, ever-changing river that once lured the artists of the Hudson River School.

Stone houses are dotted all over, punctuating the source of the valley’s finest foodstuffs: vineyards, farms, orchards and our fertile Black Dirt region. Our farms, although fewer than they once were, still offer up a cornucopia of edible delights. Our culinary heritage includes the crab, the shad, the sturgeon and the ugly but flavorful cider apple that is enjoying a resurgence.
We’re making a name for ourselves these days as producers of quality ciders, beers, wines and distilled spirits. We’re known for duck foie gras, quality charcuterie, mushrooms farmed and foraged both, other wild foraged foods, honey, maple syrup, artisan bakeries, cheeses from the milks of humanely raised herds. Some of our beef, pork and poultry raisers have been raising their animals naturally before anyone else was doing it. Our tomatoes, peppers, microgreens, fruit and myriad other produce have the vibrancy and clean, full flavor of the carefully tended and freshly picked.

Graduates from our Culinary Institute of America and other creative chefs and cooks make pilgrimages to our farmstands and farmers markets for the freshest, most in-season, raw materials of their craft and make it into something amazing and real. Let them share it with you and tell you their stories.
