You never know

where

Welcome to Columbia County...

Y

ou might find yourself soaring in a hot air balloon or marveling at the Persian-style mansion of Frederic Church. Maybe dancing the night away or grabbing some world-class street food between antique shops.

You might find yourself taste-testing artisanal cheeses or loading up on fresh-picked fruit, wandering through fields of sculpture, or following in the footsteps of Edna St. Vincent Millay on the Poetry Trail.

Easy to reach, harder to tear yourself away from—you’ll find yourself discovering worlds within worlds of pleasure, serenity, and entertainment. From world-class music and theater performances and art galleries to lovingly restored historic farmhouses, from vineyards and wineries to outdoor adventure geared to the whole family, you’ll fill your days and nights with memorymaking for as long as you choose to stay.

Rolling hills dotted with great little towns beckon explorers to find their own favorites. Historic sites and museums bring the past to vibrant life. We’ve got lodging and dining to suit every preference and pocketbook.

You never know where you’ll find yourself here—but you’ll find yourself here, again and again.

This driving or biking journey on Rt 9G is highlighted by orchards, farms and fantastic vistas of the Catskill Mountains.

Hudson is known for its unique and varied architecture, antique dealers and boutique shops. The “Main Street USA” ambiance of this city harkens a simpler time and way of life. (Note: In Hudson, Rt 9G connects with 3rd Street.) Farther south, you’ll encounter the crown jewel of the Hudson Valley: Frederic Church’s Olana. With the look of a Persian palace, this magnificent mansion overflows with Victorian elegance, fabulous furnishings, and breathtaking paintings by the most famous landscapist of the Hudson River School.

Olana is situated four miles south of Hudson atop a huge hill affording some of the Hudson River Valley’s most spectacular scenery. Treat yourself to a guided tour of the villa, or a leisurely picnic or a stroll down Olana’s lovely trails, yielding unforgettable views of the Catskill Mountains.

Drink in the elegance of a golden age and the history of a courageous few. At the Clermont State Historic Site (off Rt 9G in Clermont), you’ll tour the grand 500-acre Hudson River estate, former home to seven generations of the distinguished Livingston family—including its patriarch, Robert Livingston. Take in the stately beauty of family heirlooms ... and admire the formal gardens and the lush views of the Hudson as you enjoy a picnic on the grounds along the river.

ur agricultural roots run deep in Columbia County. Family farms have been growing heirloom vegetable strains for generations, and young pioneers open new CSA farms year after year.

Stop by our farm stands and markets, where the growers bring their just-picked produce and fine crafted products. Indulge your senses in a taste and leave with the makings of a feast and tips on how to fix it.

It’s all here: extraordinary diner fare, ethnic treats that have won national raves and pizza as an art form. Coffee shops where fresh-brewed excellence is served with a side of local insider tips. Fragrant bakeries employing strict European standards. Don’t forget chocolatiers, pub cuisine and mouthwatering steaks. Vegan, casual, or candlelit—name your mood, we’ve got the food—from falafel to molecular gastronomy and everywhere in-between.

We’ll quench your thirst with artisanal beverages. Our distilleries, brewery and wineries welcome you to tour, taste and celebrate.

Columbia County—where farm-to-table cuisine is just how it’s done.
