A Luxury Autumn Getaway to the Heart of the Hudson Valley

Troutbeck

There is nothing quite like autumn in New York’s picturesque Hudson Valley, and a getaway to Dutchess County at this time of year is guaranteed to make your heart smile and your spirit soar. Only 90 minutes north of New York City and less than a four-hour drive from Boston and Philadelphia, Dutchess County is a vibrant, sophisticated vacation destination where everyone is welcome. There is so much to do, see and taste here — and autumn is a particularly wondrous time to visit! 

Big things are happening this fall in the bucolic Town of Amenia, which will host two elite equestrian competitions: the Silo Ridge Masters (Oct. 1–5), which was a resounding success in its inaugural run last year, and the new Highlands Cup (Oct. 8–12). It’s a 10-day celebration of sport and luxury set against a backdrop of breathtaking fall foliage as the region’s rolling hills blaze forth in unparalleled magnificence.

Also in Amenia this fall, renowned DJ and music producer Mark Ronson will be visiting Troutbeck on Sept. 7 to discuss his forthcoming memoir, “Night People: How to Be a DJ in '90s New York City.” Ticketholders will receive a pre-order copy of the book and can attend the book event and the ensuing dance party. This event is part of Troutbeck’s Luminary Series; the next event in the series, set for Nov. 23, will feature meditation expert Dan Harris. A 250-acre estate tucked quietly away in the pastoral Amenia countryside, Troutbeck is a lavish hotel and country retreat featuring luxurious amenities, wellness services and an elegant restaurant that offers locally sourced menu items.

While you’re in Amenia, be sure to dine at two new restaurants for delicious, locally sourced meals and cocktails: Panacea, which translates to "a solution or remedy for all difficulties;" and Isabela, which is owned by a Michelin-Star chef.

These are just a few of the many unforgettable experiences waiting for you here in beautiful Dutchess County.
